Just to add:
I'm doing Earthen Avenger right now and it's better than some of you make it appear.
It's a fashionable path.The Arm plates look pretty cool.Also, I forgot to mention that even against those who constantly set the Stonefist traps melee characters have ZERO CHANCES AGAINST THIS PATH, bar those with projectiles, simply because everytime they try to go through, they'll be smashed.Repeat it and you're a goner.When I try GBM i'll give my respective opinion.Ciao

OK, so you were right about GBM.
BUT, you were still really pessimist towards Earthen Avenger.
Also, here's a trick I use alot:Fire 2 Boomerangs, then quicky use the shield.You have 4 Boomerangs in the air ready to damage who/whatever they touch.

Edit Button^

any idea why a Phoenix (sunburn) wouldnt fly???

I haven't read through the whole thread, nor do I have any skylanders past level 6. But when do you get to choose their upgrade path?

There's like 4 Basic upgrades that each character has, and then the next time you talk to Persephone, she'll let you choose which path you want to go down.

Thats your opinion.

Opinion is preferring Blademaster. You're allowed to do that. It's a free world, and a free game. If you don't want to use Soul of the Flame, nobody can make you.

Fact is stating that Soul of the Flame is the superior of Ignitor's two paths, because it is. It does more damage, shields you from more damage, travels faster, and performs better in every possible mode of play in Skylanders, in every way that it is possible to perform. Yes, even at close range, flame mortars do about triple the damage of sword swings. If you've tried both and would still contend I'm mistaken to say SotF is the way to go, I don't know how else to explain it to you. You're just wrong.

Quote:

Ignitor you can go either way. I chose his sword path and with 60 damage combos and huge damage improvements I don't regret it one single bit.
I Stand for blademaster!!

That is where you are wrong,ignitor is my favorite character,thus i have ressted him a zillion times,trying to like that awesome sword he has there.However blademaster seems to not hit enemies most of the time for some reason,and by the time you perform a combo,an enemy will hit you.On the other hand,soul of the flame gives an AMAZING skylander,being among the best.Throwing the mortar itself does around 80 damage then,control the flame soul and finish it off with an incenarate.Presto,K.O.Anywho my point is that,you just can't say blademaster ignitor is better,sure it may be fun,but a vampiric warrior chop chop would probably kill ignitor...

For Sunburn, Flame Lord is a beast-all parts of the teleport do 24 damage, making him very powerful in both PVP and story mode. Blaze Dragon makes you move slower, and takes ages to charge up.

I'm sorry for being pessimistic about Earthern Avenger, but you should try Grand Boomerang Master. It really is better. I play a lot of PVP with Grand Boomerang Master, and I barely use the Stonefist traps, since the boomerangs are more powerful. But, it is a matter of opinion.

Well, because it already has two attacks to boost its movement speed: Phoenix Dash, the third attack and, to a lesser extent, Immolation Teleportation, the second attack.
Hope that answers your question

Already did, liked both.
I'm mostly the kind of player that uses all its arsenal as much as chance lets me, so, I guess that led me to like the Stonefist Traps when I saw that 28 pop up.The shield is also good, with a Staggering 40 damage per hit+A projectile-refletive property.
The boomerangs themselves...meh, I'd rather go for the traps.

Please you the EDIT button

Fair enough I suppose.

Also, Sunburn can't fly because then he would be able to walk over lava and water in game, and a skylander isn't able to do that. The phoenix dash is quite a powerful move-54 damage down Flame Lord when fully maxed(including the explosion. But, it isn't really as good a speed move as say Stealth Elf's Arboreal Acrobatics, since the explosion means you have to rest for a few seconds.

my path for cynder is Nether Wielder

(moment of pride)YES, I won an argument(dont mind this, just the thoughts on my mind).

Um, by Fire standards yes she can walk over lava(can she?I know eruptor can)so, unless im wrong, the only mobility improvement would be a water movement.But, the first pack guy i'll have is so, what do I know, right?

im pretty sure gill grunt can fly and swim, so why couldn't they make sunburn fly and lava-walk?
and when it comes down to it, and skylander that can fly dosnt need to be able to swim or lava walk anyway

If Sunburn was able to fly, then he would be able to go over water-and that would mean he can go over both water and lava. Any flying skylander can go over water-but not lava. Only fire skylanders can go over lava. No other skylander therefore can go over lava and water. At least, that's my opinion on it.

so no flyer can fly over lava?
im gonna go have to check this on my 360,
i swear i thought i could, but idk

well, one thing is true:The day where everything is sweet is faaaaaar away...unless you just beat someone 10 times in a row

Clockwork Dragon for

I've heard otherwise.
But then again, if you notice, the upgrade scheme is THE SAME:
-Increase in damage
-Splash damage addition
-Extra bullet for each fire.

One thingy is a fact; and that these are all opinions.

I agree SE32 Clockwork is BEAST.

What makes Clockwork Dragon so powerfull?? Master Blasters seems like a Beast. Opinions?

Clockwork is powerful because Drobot is powerful. Master Blaster is better, but the edge is far more slight than people are making it out to be.

Could someone tell me good paths for Sunburn and Wham-Shell?

Sunburn is Flame Lord, Wham Shell is Captain Crustacean.

I think that depends heavily on whether you felt stronger about the Teleportation(which is where I cast my vote) or the flame breath(...meh, I'd rather laugh at their faces whilr they can't hit me but I can ravage them, but, your call, amigo)The flame breath can be used infinitely in its path and the teleportation will stop leaving pathces and start leaving trails of flame in its own path.
That's...pretty much it I guess.But you bet I'm gonna start her out on Flame Lord

Quote: HexDisciple

he flame breath(...meh, I'd rather laugh at their faces whilr they can't hit me but I can ravage them, but, your call, amigo)

this is the problem of that path. they will hit you

They can?...Oh well, I guess in that case and are the only ones with means to go completely unscathed for a fraction of time.
Also, I notice now, sorry for the massive typos .
But hey, that's about the only big con, right?
Though I should have seen that one coming from 's Stealth mode.
What next non-pack guy should I get next?I have:

If possible, give me several choices, please.Thanks in advance.

EDIT: You say that MB is better. Look at the fact I posted.

Sunburn: Flame Lord.
Wham Shell: Mace Path.

I think Camo is good on both paths anyway:
-On one, you ultimately end up with a delayable, 60 damage dealing melon fortress.
-On the other, two horrendly annoying Firecracker Vines that won't let anyone anyone, except maybe Pulver Bash, Terrafin, Ghost Roaster, and Megadozer Drill Sergeant approach you head on.Also, the Sun Blast is quite powerful for the fire rate it attains.

Best path for camo, and opinions on best path for warnado I can't make up my mind. I like the idea of the baby's, but how like the tornados also. Please help I already reset him 3 times

Definitely Eye of the Storm on Warnado. Upgraded tornadoes only do 40, which is 15 more than standard. On top of that, the two control bonuses (you control, and the tornado seeks enemies on its own) are redundant. Also, you lose out on basically everything BUT the tornado attack, which isn't that great to begin with, leaving him one of the absolute most one-dimensional characters in the game as Wind Master. Eye of the Storm has versatility on his side, he can deal damage in multiple ways, he travels faster, and only really loses out on 15 damage per tornado in the tradeoff. It's a lot better.

As for Camo, there's no right or wrong answer. Use the one you like. I favor Vine Virtuoso, but the next person can give you an equally well-reasoned argument for Melon Master.

Thank you so much and what can each path do for camo? And the damage numbers

Look at Tashiji's attack damage thread for the damage, but from what I hear, Melon Master is the more defensive build, but still does lots of damage, while Vine Virtuoso Is the more offensive path.

One of the most hardest paths to choose for a skylander is sunburn. I have tried both and I keep on resetting him. which is better? epic everlasting flame breath or the extremely versatile teleportation that that is epic in PVP. I just cannot choose!

go with teleportation path cause it is better and heaps of fun to use. and does lots of damage

Yep, Flame Lord is one of my favourite builds of all skylanders. I haven't tried Blaze Dragon yet, and I probably won't because Flame Lord is so damn good. Every single part does 24 damage, and combined with the fact that he is almost impossible to hit close up, he is a very good counter to melee attackers, like Bash and Voodood. Not as good against ranged attackers, but he has a better chance than blaze dragon because it slows you down. I can see that blaze dragon can do lot of damage, but the range is poor and the flame breath slows you down.

ty guys I will prob stick to flame lord for now....

Just got Ignitor and Bash!
From what I can tell, both of Bash's paths make him good, though the 240 hit in Granite Dragon just makes him depressing to play with.
IMO, Pulver Dragon is also good, since he can roll through attacks.
I'm not saying Granite Dragon is bad, I'm just saying that Pulver Dragon is more fun to use.
I am aware that the tail attack is plain stronger, but honestly, Bash is just too slow.
As for , definitely SotF.
Landing Blast does 50, subsequent hits while on ground(and believe me, there are A LOT of them) deal 18, and if you decide to, the final blast deals 36 damage.That's just monstrous.
I can honestly say that...Soul of the Flame is a superb path.I still find myself using the sword quite a bit, so Battlemaster is also a good choice, I guess...at least you don't lose control of the soul attack.
But still...meh.

What path is best for

Best path. Well, if you wanna have a powerhouse Camo then Melon Master. If not do the other one.

I heard Melon Master is more defensive and Vine Virusto or whatever is more offensive.
I don't know because I don't have him though,

Vine Virtuoso does sound seriously good...I mean, you fire TWO of them, plus that path offers an upgrades to the number of possible hits, and another one in damage.
Melon Master is plain more defensive...I mean, more melons, higher damage, and being able to use the melons for actual defensive purposes.
he's a good character overall(or so I think).I'll check back on Friday if one of my brothers gets Camo.I'll borrow it and post whatever my little "research" might bring up.Ciao.If not, I'll just check in to post.lol

Ok ive heard both paths are good. But wich could be a bit better path for Wrecking Ball?

Wrecking Ball is probably better on Ultimate Spinner, but Total Tongue is far more enjoyable to play. Since he's never going to be a top-tier character either way, pick the one you like.
