^Wow Bash's WOW-POW sound awesome,I'm sooooooo getting him.Thanks

Bash's is epic. It turns what was once a single-attack character into a combo machine. For this reason, I think it should be clear why I would recommend Granite Dragon for Giants.

Yeah,deffentely going down Granite-Dragon.

I saw a s2 bash, but I didn't buy it...

hey Tash, since you been playing Crusher for your giant of choice, any path suggestions yet?

I use the boulder path, and I wold also tentatively recommend that. It's not really a matter of there being one good build and one bad one with Crusher, though. Both paths really do have their advantages. He's kind of like how Bash and Flameslinger were in the first game, in that regard.

thanks Tash im off to pick Rubble Master then. already picked Operator and Mad Scientist based on your recommendations.
please post when you have any more for the new landers !

Pop Fizz:

Flashwing is born for the crystal path. I know the spin path is tempting, and on paper, the crystal upgrades don't seem to add too much damage. In truth, crystals refracting from walls are just insane damage over time, and when you see tens of them bouncing around the room on this path, you'll know why. Not only that, the fact that crystals stuck in walls actually heal Flashwing when near makes her one of the few characters who can regain health without food or an elemental strength. It's a build that sounds like it might be on the weak side just from reading move descriptions, but it actually turns out to be extremely effective, especially compared to the alternative.

I did videos on ALL OF THESE PATHS so far. Enjoy!

youtube: wdrumz


Chill - Ice Lancer hands down!

Hot Head - The Burninator!

Swarm - Barberous!

Tree Rex - Treefolk Dash! (don't care about gun)

Bouncer - I-Beam Supreme! (Havent tried rockets)

Shroomboom - Barrier Boost!

Jet-Vac - Bird Blaster!

Fright Rider - Sir Lance A Lot!

Pop Fizz - Mad Scientist!

Crusher - Rock Grinder!

What does Ignitor's Wow Pow do?

Could you redo Crusher, Bouncer, Pop fizz, and Tree rex? Ignitors wow pow is blue flame after he runs over the ground with soulf of the flame.

Crusher, take his Hammah Path

His melee attacks do 50 damage, and combos do over 100!

Just to see the alternative to this and to test which is better, I've gone down the spin path. Only when she's done spinning can she be hurt, and with the ability to reflect enemy fire + extra armor it could be just as broken, so we'll see.

I thought new/remodeled Skylanders could switch between paths...

Remodeled, yes. New, no. They still make you reset and relevel any character new to the franchise. I suppose they always intended it as an incentive for re-buying old characters, but it still feels like a money grab when you know how easy it would have been to allow it for all.

Can someone give me a good reason to choose a path for ? I have him on the Hammer, and I want to know if it's the right choice.

I cannot decide which path to go for Fright rider both of them look AWESOME.

Choose the path with the combos, they are really cool and strong. All the bird heads coming out of the ground are also really good.

for me, dash paths are mostly worthless, because i am a projectile kind of guy, but i went with shadowdancer and super spinner because i hate a projectile path with no damage upgrades. it just seems pointless.

EDIT: i think tree rex is more fun to play with on lumbering laser than tree charger, but thats my opinion

What is better, I-Beam Supreme or Rocket Path?

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.)

flashwings soul gem makes her completely unkillible if you are fighting melee character like stealth elf.

i allways go for the pvp path. and i believe Tash dos to. even on nightmare mode, any skylander on any path in story mode is still able to do very well when maxed out. but in pvp allot of skylander paths are like night and day.

What is better, I-Beam Supreme or Rocket Path?

Definatly the I-Beam path.It is cleary supreur to the rocket path.Know the bullets are okay but the lasers are the main attraction.They do 30 damage and so do the mines which you can move by walking into them

The Rocket Path is clearly superior to the I-Beam Path, because the rockets are much better than the I-Beam on either path, so you might as well upgrade them instead of his worst attack, I-Beam.

^Agree the rocket path is pure pic the rockets are doing 30 damge they are covering a big area and you can spam it over the battlefield it's the better path in PVE and PVP.

Well, also this path will upgrade a little the Shimmering Spin attack, that doesn't have basic upgrades, and also will give you +40 extra armor plus the other +40 armor, it's +80 armour in total, that'll make Flashwing much much harder to hit, and that'll help you a lot with the Soul Gem upgrade, Crystal Lighthouse that won't let you move, too.
Also, Shimmering Spin lasts longer and does increased damage, deflect enemies' shots back at them while spinning and while spinning, press Attack 1 to shoot beams of laser light! That'll make Flashwing a total beast, both in Story Mode or in PvP, but like you say, you can't go down the wrong path with Flashwing...

What do you reccomend for Pop Fizz, Jet Vac, and Tree Rex?

For tree rex treefolk charger.It is an amazing path but I can't reccomend for the others cause I don't have them

tree rex's lasers are pretty fun too, but im a projectile person.

Ok, I'm getting mixed opinions here. What path is best for on Pvp? I have mine on the laser, but is the charge path better?

people have been saying lasers are OP, but ive never seen a review for the charge path. im afraid that ill hate the charge, so ive never tried both. mabey you are better off listening to someone whohas tried both?

Well, has anyone tried both yet?

I tried both and my opinion is that you can't go down the wrong path, both are awesome!

Yes. Have two Tree Rexes on account of console and 3DS versions. Both paths are nice, really. I can't honestly say I prefer one to the other for overall strength, but in terms of what I personally play, it would be the charge path. He's an absolute brute on that, and while strategy with Tree Rex is about as subtle as a Michael Bay movie, things tend to work out for him due to his enormous HP pool and high stats.

Well, I never said the Shimmering Spin path was inferior in PvP-- I simply do not know, since I have no one to play against me, and even when I do it is my much younger cousin who kind of just mashes the X button.

I've never tested her on pvp either. My brothers like minecraft now.

What is hot heads best path?

Is oil path looks more appeasing to me, but I don't have him.

I saw a s2 bash, but I didn't buy it...

same.

I just tried Barbarous avenger on swarm and it is so powerful I definitely recomend it. You can fly circles around your enemy and deal some great repeat damage while they try to hit you! The barbs shot while flying now do 14 damage instead of the underwhelming 9 and the melee attacks do 29 damage which is great considering how fast it all stacks!

I have Terrafin S2 and I took him down Sandhog. I was wondering if brawler is any good? What do you guys recommend?

Because of his Wow Pow, Brawler actually IS good. The move drastically improves Brawler as a tunneler, to the point where the two paths are almost indistinguishable. You miss out on the damaging fin and homing sharks, but what you sacrifice there, you more than regain in melee damage. Honestly, Brawler might even be preferable in many circumstances now. A totally legit alternative to Sandhog.

what about swarm's swarm form path? i haven't tried it, but i know his axe attack deals 80 damage

@voodude: Swarm's swarm form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATUOjiVm4b0
The one who made the vid. commented he liked the other path better. I see why, but this still has more appeal.

@Nibelilt: Bouncer's laser path -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...channel&list=UL
I'm on the laser path with Tree Rex. I like it. I can't say it's better, but the spamming of the laser works, and he gets floral decorations on his bark down this path.
