What path do you think looks better for Ninjini?

^ Bottle Path is my guess.

Eh. I dont like her, but if i got her, bottle would be the path.

these paths are all wrong J Dawg.

No definitely go with the swords path that way you have quick attacks and all around fighter with the soul gem

I'm a sucker for combos so I'm goin' with the sword path.

What is the best path for Pop Fizz?

BEST OF THE BEAST!

I've tried both of Pop Fizz's paths and Best of the Beast is better as it makes you use all his attacks and its more fun, the other path is for those who just like mashing the primary attack button.

I've actually gone down both and I prefer Mad Scientist. The mixing potions is SUPER powerful, especially when you throw three.
^and No, it's not just mashing the main attack button. For me, most strong enemies only take triple acid, and one flame potion to die. It's super fun to use and you can do lots of things.

^ This, plus Best of the Beast makes him move VERY slowly and is still really short-ranged, making it not so good for PvP. At least Mad Scientist is a bit faster and has a bit of a longer range.

Best of the Beast is complete crap. It lost to Flameslinger.

What path for Bouncer? I have RR and it's very good, but is I-BS better? I'm asking for PvP, and pros and cons would be great.

I like Robot Rocketeer, but I can't really list the pros and cons, I didn't play I-BS much before resetting.

Anyone else?

The paths I choose for my Skylanders (new and Giants) are:

Pop Fizz - Best of the Beast
Punch Pop Fizz - Mad Scientist
Legendary Jet-Vac - Bird Blaster
Flashwing - Super Spinner
Chill (LightCore) - Frozen Fury
Fright Rider - Joust Jockey
Gnarly Tree Rex - Treefolk Charger
Granite Crusher - Rubble Master
Legendary Bouncer - Robot Rocketeer
Scarlet Ninjini - Ancient Djinn Magic
Thumpback - Up Close And Personal
Eye-Brawl - Eye Brawler

Ummm, did I miss something? Are they out?

no. not out. tree rex is op with lumbering laserer. in pvp, his laser sticks to the opponent while charging. easy to kill all sorts of skylanders with

You just already have your mind set for when you get them right? Because they aren't out.

^ Well, LC Chill will have the same strengths as regular, so at least that one can be predicted. Good point on the rest, though. If there's one thing we've learned from Skylanders in the past, it's that you simply can't judge the strength of a path based on how it looks on paper. So many 'dark horse' paths are by far the best for their character.

dont take barrier boost on shroomboom cuz it sucks, i had to learn the hard way. on mushroom sling path u get to shoot 3 paratroopers and the slingshot is a lot stronger.

Maybe you're just using it wrong. I don't have him but I've looked through the guide and I know BB is the path to go.

So for Pop Fizz I'm testing his paths right now, which one should I take /joke.

Whats the best path for Crusher?

It depends on how you like to play if you want more diversity go for rubble path or if you want to smush things with a giant hammer doing massive amounts of damage go for the hammer path.

I prefer Mad Scientist for

^ "Dark Horse?"

The unexpected choice, basically. SotF for Ignitor is the quintessential 'dark horse,' and even though it's gradually become more popular, it still isn't many people's first pick for the character because of the fact that, just by looking at him and listening to his catch phrases, one would think you should be using his sword.

Ueah, like zooks bazooka, gill grunts harpooner, and chop chops sword.

The rockslide path. Hammer path only gives a 10 damage increase to swings, neither combo is that useful and cracks are still worthless. I know the Rockslide path might sound silly, but it's seriously good.

^ Yes, the rockslide path is much better, mainly because you can make your boulders explode doing 56 damage with each boulder! It's amazing!

how many bolders are there?

I think 6, but it's hard to hit with all of them in one wave. I usually hit with 2 or 3 at once.

ok. im wondering if i should get him.

@all the people who said Rubble Master was better: Funny, I actually switched to RM yesterday, but as far as I've seen, the boulders do... 45-ish and I can only explode with one boulder.

^ I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Rock Grinder's perks are very minor by comparison to even that. And the extra control of your rock form helps Rubble Master's case as well.

is crusher worth getting?

@Tashiji: I don't really know what you mean.

I mean that, even if rock slide explosions aren't as enormously strong as they sound like they should be, the path is still better than Rock Grinder because Rock Grinder only hits for 10 more per strike and his combos are unwieldy. That's why I say that, as seemingly minor as exploding rocks are, they're still a better perk than hammer upgrades or combos when you consider what to do with Crusher.

And yes, Crusher is worth getting. He is one of a select few Giants would could lay any sort of claim to being the best of their kind.

Ah, I see. I think I will keep RM. The reason I restarted him in the first place is that the hammer wasn't really different, except a way better looking hammer. I find that you can also go really fast just spamming it in the direction you want.

Flashwing's Spinning path sucks, it's useless.

^ No way does it suck, the other path sucks and is useless, the spinning one is amazing!

Sorry, I meant the Shard path. But I think Both paths are bad, Flashwing was done poorly in my opinion.

Super Spinner is strong, but soooooo boring (with the exception of the Spin Lasers, that thing sucks). Super Shards is much more fun; put Flashwing is soooo bad on it.

I love playing on Super Spinner, and I think Super Shards is bad only because of the lack of walls big enough to stick shards into. So it really doesn't upgrade you at all because of that.

I'd actually say Super Shards is weak because the crystals are stationary and you can easily walk around their shards in PvP, get close to Flashwing, and demolish her once and for all.

What is the best upgrade path for Fright Rider? Why?

Tash: The +40 (aka +13% chance to resist any attack) is not too shabby either, especially with his increased mobility.

LightSpyro: The Spin is for Shards Flashwing to escape an enemy, not to close. She's kinda of like a rocky Trigger Happy with a speed boost.

BigGuy: The Jousting path. His melee one is a trap, as it's like Ignitor's Sword path... sounds great, until you look at their health...

While I still prefer joust jockey I don't think the melee path is a bad choice, some of those combos are really nice, especially the spear vault.

hey Tashiji, im having a hard time choosing a path for Flashwing since it seems everyone has a diferent opinion on whats better for pvp. what are your thoughts on her?

i would also love to hear any opinions on Tree Rex and Swarm as well.

i like lumbering laserer, but many people say the elbow drop/charge on is better. the laser charge does 100 dmg, and auto tracks the opponenet when charging. it doesnt take a long time, either.
