Ive never liked prism break. too slow

I think this is an example of the downsides of the repose+ wow pow strategy and of the full retrocompatibility policy:
They tried to balance S2 Prism Break which they did in a kind of working way... but doing so they made Prism break S1 very weak.
... and for S3 they tried to avoid a too strong wop pow but having weakened Prism Break because of S2, they ended up with a character that would be good in Giants but that is a bit too weak in Swap Force.

I have to agree as well. His power is strong and not to mention looks cool, but yeah I can get myself killed pretty quickly. I also noticed that the arena battles seem even more challenging in swap force so Prism break seems like a pretty big target. lol

I'm guessing many people used the "button masher" technique without any regard to proper use/strategy...and VV is calling people out on it this time.

Problem is that on Nightmare 2-3 Chompy hits will kill you and tons of other mobs will 1-2 shot you. It's not just about not button mashing and using strats., you really need characters with mobility that can get away and fight another day. Hell even VooDood can use his primary attack while he moves. Toons like Whamshell, Prisim Break and Smoldy need to stop moving to use their primary attack. That's where they get in trouble.

This might not be an issue in normal game play and bonus missions but it's a huge disadvantage in arenas where you're usually surrounded and can't "control" the mobs as well.

Yeah, I don't like Prism Break 1st place, now he seems to be nerved in SSF ;>>

His s3 Wow Pow isn't so good either...

I liked Prism Break the most on the PC version of SSA, every old Skylander just got lame in Swap force... Stealth Elf's wow pow is just pure power but the fact that her attacks got so slow and stuff is just stupid and Zap gets more stupid in each game he started out cool and fast in SSA in Giants he was less fast with his slide attack and in swap force he is just horrible there

God I can brag about that for hours, I've known how to use Stealth Elf wisely in the oldergames, but now she's one of my most hated Skylanders, why?

• She's slower then ever
  
• Her wow pow isn't fitting. its only about pure power
  
• Her New outfit is not even matching her in-game sprite(dark, I have no idea how that goes with Noraml)
  
• She's just, blah!
  

All I know is that Dino-Rang is useful for story mode for a specific purpose now; his boomerang shield trips ups enemies, so he's great when you're faced with an enemy that has a very annoying attack because you can stall them to death.

His regular boomerang attack still has good power behind it too.

Stealth elf's extra blades on the blade path got nerfed for range and s2 zap's wow pow got nerfed also for range

Well Wrecking Ball got a lot stronger in Swap Force
