darkSpyro

since any fully leveled Skylander on any path can go thro story mode with ease, and I play PVP allot, I chose to go the path thats better in PVP
explanations are there for those that can be debatable
(I only ever played on the Xbox)


Spyro - Blitz Spyro (the stun makes the difference)
Voodood - Marauder (with practice he can ninja around the whole map)
Wreaking Ball - Ultimate Spinner (hard to control but the tongue is completely useless)
Double Trouble - Channeler

Drobot - Master Blaster
Trigger Happy - Golden Money Bags (Yamato Blast is way to easy to dodge, and bouncing bullets are pretty useless)
Boomer - Demolition Troll
Drill Sergeant - Megadozer (best when all attacks are used at the same time)

Bash - Granite Dragon (dont want to get close to him with that 250 tail swing)
Terrafin - Sandhog (dosnt take damage while underground)
Prism Break - Crystaleer
Dino Rang - Grand Boomerang Master

Whirlwind - Tempest Dragon (the electric between clouds is very useful)
Sonic Boom - Medea Griffon (not only are the babys annoying but if you get hit with an egg it dos good damage)
Lightning Rod - Lightning Lord (at least hes good at a distance, but up close he dosnt stand a chance, the other path is useless either way)
Warnado - Eye of the Storm (best when all attacks are used at the same time)

Sunburn - Flame Lord (hard to guess where hes gonna show up after teleporting)
Ignitor - Soul of the Flame (only those who never tried it like the other path)
Flameslinger - Pyromancer (the fire left behind on the map makes the difference)
Eruptor - Volcanor

Zap - Slime Serpent
Gill Grunt - Water Weaver (best when all attacks are used at the same time)
Slam Bam - Blizzard Brawler
Wham-Shell - Captain Crustacean

Camo - Vine Virtuoso
Stealth Elf - Pook Blade Saint
Stump Smash - Nut Crafter
Zook - Floral Defender (allot better then people give him credit for)

Cynder - Nether Welder
Ghost Roaster - Skull Master (ectoplasma hardly suffers in the trade off)
Chop Chop - Undead Defender (for the stun)
Hex - Bone Crafter

Looks like I'm the only one who really digs the Pyromancer path for Flameslinger. While the supernova ability isn't the easiest thing to use, it makes up for it with the damage it does. Going to buy another Flameslinger for the marksman path though.

Sunburn - Flame Lord (hard to guess where hes gonna show up after teleporting)

You control where he goes. Just tilt the control stick in the direction of the flame you want to teleport towards.

I see why dark spyro is good on 3DS since he does come with it. Oh ya guys I got new skylanders today so to review about the paths to make sure (pvp)
Drobot: master blaster
Flameslinger: pyromancer
Stump smash: nut crafter
Sunburn: flame lord

Flameslinger belongs on the marksman path for both pve and pvp

I like Pyromancer because his arrow volley leaves flames on the field. His arrows are less damaging, and noticeably so, but I find that results are better when I play keep-away instead of engaging directly. The more fire I can leave on the field, the more difficult he is to pursue. Supernova really is hard to pull off, though, I agree, but the path of fire his arrows leave behind is invaluable to his chances in the more difficult fights. He can decimate lower-tier characters either way, but the tougher the opponent, the less likely arrow spam is to put you ahead and the more you'll need to strategize. Both paths are fine, but I really love his Napalm Tipped Arrows for PVP. It turns him into a far more effective version of Slime Serpent Zap, which is a tactic with tons of potential.

I think that Bone Crafter is the better path because of the strategy you can use with her. Although this path is like a weaker form of floral defender Zook, Shade Master is even more of a weaker MB Drobot.

Just got two new recruits, bringing my collection to twenty
Volcanor
Granite Dragon

Also my friend was having portal problems and had me train his Sonic Boom and Stealth Elf,
Medea Griffin (My friend just LOVED those babies so his choice was obvious, but I would go with Siren Griffin if she was mine)
At first Pook Blade Saint (Who names these things!?) but changed to Forest Ninja( He wants to change it back to Pook Blade Saint but I honestly liked Forest Ninja better)

Choose Nut Crafter. Smash n' Bash just makes him a horrible meleeist.

So... I'm just going to post a few opinions here. xD
I have all of the dragon characters, and have gone through both upgrade paths for most of them, so this knowledge is firsthand, but again, is my personal opinion, so feel free to disagree.

Spyro: I actually played through most of the game using Blitz Spyro, but... it was difficult to effectively utilize his Ibex's Wrath Charge due to space constraints, so I switched to Sheep Burner. Personally, I find Sheep Burner Spyro to be more effective.

Cynder: I know that everybody says that Cynder's Nether Welder line is better, but I beg to differ. I find the fact that she can avoid enemy attacks while still causing them harm very handy, and as such, I have gone with her Shadow Dancer path.

Whirlwind: For a really long time, I really loved Whirlwind's Ultimate Rainbower, path because... well, let's face it, Rainbow Singularity is probably the most beautiful attack in the game. But Tempest Dragon, due to Tempest Matrix is the superior path.

Zap: I went with his Slime Serpent because... it seems more useful. In general though, Zap is a more difficult character for me to use, but I'm happy with being able to more or less paralyze enemies.

Bash: Go with what you like. Seriously. Bash is a powerhouse whichever way you choose to go.

Drobot: I liked Master Blaster, but that is mainly because I'm really lazy and enjoy being able to just spam shoot lasers. While the bladegears are decent, they're more difficult to aim and are slightly less effective. At least, that's just my opinion.

Camo: Vine Virtuoso. It's seriously, like Drobot's eye lasers in that... it hits, and it hits multiple times with a single attack.

Sunburn: I went with his Blaze Dragon path. That was more a personal decision. While I have heard excellent things about his Flame Lord moves, I never use his teleportation. And... off topic, but... why didn't they allow Sunburn to fly? :c

I have the Wii version and I put my on the Skull Master path, and he is easily one of my strongest Skylanders

on the Wii version can hit multiple enemies per dash, but sometimes the dash lasts longer then it is supposed to.

It can hit mulitple enemies per dash, but it can only hit an enemy once. This is a terrible thing for dash moves in PVP.
