Just a neat thing about it.

The laser charge is kinda difficult to use and it has a certain range. I don't use it much. It's usually just on accident that I hold the B button when I mean to spam the laser.

The damaging multiple enemies is neat.

And I don't really notice the exploding pot plants. The enemies are usually dead before they can be used.

Fast review of Magic element:

Spyro: You can't go down the wrong path, however, Sheep Burner Spyro will increase de damage of the Wow Pow, Fire Slam! and also the damage of Dragon's Fire
Wrecking Ball: Go down the Ultimate Spinner path, altough the other is more fun, but it don't increase Wow Pow damage
Double Trouble: You can't go down the wrong path, you'll get more damage and speed from the Magic Bombs, also Eldedritch Beam will have longer range and do more damage, and improved effect and more damage for the Wow Pow, Triple Trouble! but down the other path you'll get improved Explosive Doubles and that do more damage, and they form automatically defeating enemies

What path for Crusher? My friend has him on the boulders, but I have the hammer, which one is better? And if you would, a pros and cons would be great.

Boulder path pros and cons:

Pro: Far greater control over rock slides, and something useful to do with the attack (45-damage explosions)
Pro: +Armor upgrade, and as you've noticed, shield blocks "proc" a lot more in Giants.
Pro: A less risky style of offense that doesn't require direct exposure to danger as often.

Con: You will still be using your non-upgraded hammer close to as much as the hammer path.
Con: Rock sliding has a steep learning curve, and may even seem bad until you get the hang of it.

Hammer path pros:

Pro: One of the best Combo A attacks in the game, especially if you hold down the attack button on the final hammer strike.
Pro: The HP necessary to melee up close against even highly damaging opponents.

Con: The final hammer upgrade doesn't do much more damage than the previous one, making boulder crusher almost as effective up close.
Con: Without the explosions and extra control, your boulder form is useless unless your main goal was to be a sitting duck.

When a S2 Skylander switches paths, are the upgrades that they've already received deleted? Or, if I were to switch for a bit and then switch back, will the upgrades still be bought? I'm curious as to whether I should switch paths after having fully tried it out, or if it would just be a waste of coins.

You will need to purchase both paths skills separately, but, once they are purchased, you do not need to re-purchases when switching; allowing you to switch at will with Persephone w/o additional coin.

Here's what I said earlier about Flashwing:

Quote: Aqua
Alright, spare Flashwing's soul gem I have her entirely upgraded.

I wish I could get a video, but alas I have no capture card. Maybe I'll end up ordering one. Anyway, I took her down the Spin path, since I saw many others took her down the Shard and I wanted to see the difference. I think whichever path you choose, you'll find that Flashwing is an OP beast (at least in story mode, I don't really do PvP***,) and here is why:

Although there is a slight pause between spins, that combined with the surrounding shard attack pretty much makes her untouchable. The pause is hardly noticeable, anyway. Flashwing rarely takes damage while spinning since she has an upgrade that deflects enemy fire back at them (there are a few exceptions, such as the flamethrower minions) and the laser then makes up for the long range. Hitting them up close, she does about 13-14 damage at a time, and hits the same enemies multiple times, usually racking up a 40+ damage count on multiple enemies around her. Combined with lasers hitting the enemies farther away, she's pretty OP and rocks (excuse the Earth element pun) in the arena.

My only complaint is that if you are too slow or have a lapse in renewing her spin or hitting the surrounding shard attack, her HP is low enough that any damage is pretty... eghn. However, this rarely happens. The spin path is also speedy-- something a lot of Earth elements aren't (spare maybe Bash down the Pulver Dragon path.)

All in all, I like the Spin path a lot, and I feel it's just as OP and broken as the Shard path based on descriptions, and that you can't really go wrong in choosing a path for Flashwing. (Kind of like S1 Bash or S1 Cynder.)


***This is not to say the spin path is bad in PvP, I just haven't tested it out.

Sprocket is about as strong as Zook. They're really the same type of character. I haven't done a whole ton of testing, but I expect the mine/melee path has A-tier potential.
Bean Sprout Blue Sparx Gems: 893
#272 Posted: 15:21:03 07/11/2012
If she is like Zook, I would probably love her. My current favorite Skylanders are DS, Zook, and Fright Rider.

She's pretty nice in PVP from what I've seen so far. Mines (whether thrown or from Combo C) form a solid blockade, and fortunately you have the double-turret upgrade before you have to choose a path, so those set up effective perimeter defense. She's hard to approach, and since you get the wrench on this path too, she defends herself better than Zook can if anything does get too close.
Bean Sprout Blue Sparx Gems: 893
#275 Posted: 18:11:26 07/11/2012
Yeah. It looks like Sprocket is more close ranged than Zook, while Zook handles far ranges better than Sprocket.

Well I just tried S2 smilie down the Undead Defender path with his wow pow and he is amazingly powerful.If you have I definitely recommend this path.I think that is a nuff said.

About these paths, 2 questions.
1. If you have series 1, do they still get one of the paths?
2. I think I read it here already, but wanna know for sure, can you with Series 2 switch between them (it will just take a lot of playing to max out both?)?
weebbby Emerald Sparx Gems: 4220
#280 Posted: 00:58:46 09/11/2012
^
1. You choose just like New and Giant characters.
2. S2 can switch between by talking to Persephone, you can have all upgrades bought, but only one path active at a time.

When will Hot Head and Flashwing be added to the upgrade section on the walkthrough in this site? If I'm not mistaken, they're already out... And is Lightcore Jet-Vac out yet? I've decided I might as well get a second Air Skylander, and he does look to be some fun...

Jet-Vac:
Packeteer:

I'll recommend this if you like to suck and fly a lot. Like some people say, the Tank reserves don't let you remain in flight much longer and the tanks don't recharge much faster, but they'll help you a bit in hard battles recharging a little more faster than before (if you're in an sprecific point without moving the tanks would'nt run out of power), and if they run out of power just recharge faster sucking air with the Suction Gun.

The Mulcher:

DAMAGE: 18 (27 or 36 critical!)
RANGE: Medium-Large
SPEED: Medium


Flying Corkscrew:

DAMAGE: 30 (45 critical!)
RANGE: Medium-Large
SPEED: Medium-Fast

Fright Riders Sir Lancelot path looks pretty powerful. Would that be the best one for PVP?

Yes.
He's more like Voodood with a proper dash move.
Down Sir Lance A Lot the standard melee does 42 damage.

It does 29 on that path for me.

Sprocket is okay, but her HORRIBLE HP makes her one easy kill. I have her fully upgraded on Operator, and the Mine Combo is by far my favorite combo ever. Sprocket is just meh...... to me and not really worth buying, as she is a humongous pain to level up really early on, as she is super weak.

Sprocket has me conflicted.

I find the Mine path really boring but it is undoubtedly good. I find the concept behind the Tank path really intriguing but it is far too slow to be worth it. Really wish she would have gotten a big tank speed upgrade.

Joust Jockey. Easily. The jousting move does great damage and good lord that speed. The two attacks you get with the path also deal great damage with Etombment Strike doing just amazing amounts of damage when it hits.

The extra combos in Sir Lance A Lot simply aren't needed and the Flock of Fury is more useful in a PvE scenario where the speed from Joust Jockey is just invaluable.

Hey anyone who has seen the upgrade paths for Ninjini Eye brawl Thumpback and Hot dog.

Which do you predict will be the better paths for them? Mine are:

Thumpback: Anchors a yay
Ninjini: Ancient djin magic
Eye brawl: Eye brawler
Hot dog: Burning bowow

^Yeah, I don't know why people are saying it does 42, I've done the path, and it does 29. Is the Joust Jockey any better? EDIT: Fail. I tried to post this but I forgot to refresh. Anyways, Lancealot does 29.

The confusion might be that Joust Jockey does 42 when Jousting which I can confirm to be the truth.
