Both are a lot of fun. I went with Joust Jockey simply because I no longer have Ghost Roaster on his skull charge path in Giants.

tree rex: i like laserer, but both paths are good.
jet vac: ill be getting him when i get battlegrounds, so i dont have, but bird blaster seems the best and is highly recomended. cynder: nether welder is better, because you can now take dmg while dashing, and the ghost explosion actually works now. crusher: both are great, but rock grinder is easier to control. flashwing: both are good, super shards is more fun, in my opinion. swarm:barbarous avenger, definitely. no contest. hot head: burniator is what everyones recomending, but i dont have. fright rider: joust jockey is what everyones saying, but i dont have. chill: pick the ice wall. no contest. sprocket:hmmmm. i really dont know, but im leaning towards the wrench path. pop fizz: you cant go wrong with this guy. i like best of beast, but thats me. or, decide for yourself here |

For Sprocket I picked Operator because besides that path all the upgrades are for the turrets. Also because I love combos.

Tree Rex: I prefer Treefolk Charger. It provides great Speed, Damage, Retreat, and also let's your Bird have a chance to attack.
Jet-Vac: I prefer Bird Blaster. A fully Suctioned-Up gun does a whopping 60 damage a hit! (iirc you can use it three times before it is normal again) Cynder: Shadowdancer. You could always get hit in it, it's very unlikely though. Crusher: I've yet to try Rubble Master, but that path looks good. Flashwing: Definitely go Super Shards. They heal you and shoot extra it's just amazing. Swarm: I'm gonna pick Wasp Stormer when I get him because that path looks more fun. Hot Head: I'll pick Oil Baron. The meteor looks GREAT! Fright Rider: I hear Joust Jockey but I don't know. Chill: Ice Lancer. You can shoot 3-10 rapid fire 25 damage each. How could you NOT want that. Sprocket: Operator. The wrench is great on this path. Pop Fizz: Pick Mad Scientist. I've tried both and can honestly say that Mad Scientist destroys Best of the Beast ANY day. You can spam the A button and utterly destroy. You have to wait 2 seconds to change into Beast Form, where you are very vulnerable.

^I agree with all except Swarm and Hot Head. With Swarm it may seem that Wasp stormer is better at first, but the increased damage on Barbarous Avenger makes it Superior.
With Hot Head, I'll admit I haven't tried Oil Baron, but on the Burninator, the Oil blobs follow and kill multiple enemies, and when lit on fire does insane damage. The Burninator makes him the best Giant I have so far. The rest I highly agree with.

I dont have Hot head, but to me his path decision sounds much like Swarms. A path for primary and secondary attacks, and a gimmicky path for the tertiary attack.

I agree with all except for Flashwing. Super Shards is a useless path. Talk about a one-trick pony who is vulnerable in close range and has to stay in one spot to do a lot, that path makes her sooo weak. It was a lot of fun (WAY more fun than Super Spinner, that path is boring), don't get me wrong; but not very good for strength. The Wall Crystals do a lot of damage in PvP if you can pack them all on one opponent, but they're so easy to avoid and has to stay in one spot to heal or move to another (won't be easy, she is slow-moving on Super Shards). Super Spinner makes her more versatile and soooo much stronger, she also gets more defensive on it. But I don't like he much on either path. Super Spinner is boring and Super Shards is weak.

For Tree Rex, I easily prefer the other path. For Flashwing, exactly what LightSpyro said. For Swarm, the other path is much better. Hot Head, I don't have him. And Chill, her javelins are fine on the other path, and her other attacks are actually useful. |

My Upgrades:
Air: Swarm- Wasp Stormer. I don't have Swarm yet, but this is the path that looks better in my opinion. Legendary/Jet-Vac- Bird Blaster. 60 Damage a hit when gun is charged! Sonic Boom- Siren Griffin. Woohoo! Disliked path! But I prefer it. Whirlwind- Tempest Dragon. She launches them so fast and they're so damaging! (clouds) Lightning Rod- Lord of The Lightning. Amazing path if you know how to use it correctly. Warnado- Eye of the Storm. I've tried both paths and prefer this one. I still dislike him though. Life: Tree Rex- Treefolk Charger. It makes him one of the fastest Giants and causes massive damage. Shroom Boom- Paramushroom Promotion. Looks better to me, don't have though. Camo- Melon Master. I love Camo and this path, I also don't think he's overrated. Stump Smash- Don't get me started on my hate for Stump Failure. Zook- Floral Defender. He's just meh to me. Stealth Elf- Forest Ninja. Underrated and tossed aside! It's actually very powerful! Undead: Eye-Brawl- Eye For An Eye. He's not out yet but he looks like he'll be amazing on this path. Fright Rider- Joust Jockey. Speed is helpful. Cynder- Either. She is okay on either path. Chop Chop- Undead Defender. So weak and horrible though, you need defense though. Hex- Bone Crafter. No. Doubt. About. It. Ghost Roaster- Fear Eater. He got WAY nerfed. Earth: Crusher- Rock Grinder. I've yet to try Rubble Master, but his hammer is a beast on this path. Flashwing- Super Shards. Please refer to my earlier posts on this thread and on the PvP Teir Thread. Bash- Either. He is very powerful on either paths. Dino-Rang- Earthen Avenger. I don't know why this path is so hated, he becomes a tank with it. Prism Break- Crystaleer. He's not the best character but he's average. Terrafin- Sandhog. Hard to control but still invincible. Fire: Hot Head- I will try both but I'm leaning more towards Oil Baron. Hot Dog- Burning Bow-Wow. This path just looks amazing to me. Ignitor- Either. I prefer Blademaster, but he is still great on both. Sunburn- Flame Lord. Woohoo! Another hated path! Eruptor- Volcanor. But when did he grow spikes on his head? Flameslinger- Pyromancer. I love this path so much! Water: Thumpback- Anchors-A-Yay!! He looks like a MONSTER on this path. Chill- ( See above posts ) Zap- Tesla Dragon. This disliked power is actually very powerful! Wham-Shell- Captain Crustacean. Poseidon Strike. Enough Said. Gill Grunt- Water Weaver for speed. Slam Bam- Glacier Yeti. Most will disagree, but I've taken down a Pook Blade Saint with this path! Magic: Ninjini- Swords of Might. Most people think Anvient Djinn Magic looks better but I don't! Pop Fizz- Mad Scientist. Easy to mash the A button and cause great damage! Spyro- Mediocre either way. Double Trouble- Channeler. Just amazing on this path! Wrecking Ball- I've only tried Total Tongue, it's okay. But when did he grow teeth. HUMONGOUS TEETH?! Voodood- Elementalist. He causes great damage! Tech: Bouncer- I-Beam Surpreme. It looks superior to the other path in my opinion. Sprocket: I've only tried Operator an it is okay. Drill Sergeant- Battledozer. Yes, not Megadozer! He'll get destroyed by Melee because he relies to get near them! Boomer- I have him but hate him. I've never played him. :/ Drobot- Clockwork Dragon! Yeah!!! ANOTHER generally disliked path! Trigger Happy- Horribly weak! But Golden Frenzy is more fun!

I think Melon Master is better for Camo, I don't care what people say. Vine Virtuoso does MASSIVE damage in PvP, but it's so freaking easy to avoid; kind of like a Flashwing or Shroomboom issue (Paratrooper attack only, falls WAY too slowly).
But I don't like either path too much, he is overall really annoying to play with and extremely overrated. Stump Smash and Zook are the best Life guys hands down IMAO.

Interjecting a little bit to say that S2 Stump Smash has potentially the highest damage per second (DPS) in the entire game*, all characters and Giants included. He also has HUGE HP for a non-Giant character, and defends himself exceptionally well. So, it's either time to learn to like him or learn to find counters, because he is seriously broken.
* - Just because S2 Hex has to charge her skull servant occasionally. |

Not in PvP. You can easily destroy the acorns with your own projectiles, I tried it with Cynder's Lightning Breath and it destroyed the Nuts with ease. Unfortunately, the Wow Pow won't take care of that. I agree about the High HP, but not that he's seriously broken.

stumpy is kinda sorta strong. the opponent can move, too. they dont just stand there to get killed by the nuts. maybe they get hit by 1 or 2, but thats not a ton of dmg.

#529 Posted: 21:38:36 28/11/2012
Opponent can TRY to dodge, but Stump Smash can rotate and follow them while still firing. And the move has no cooldown, allowing him to fire over 100 nuts every 30 seconds. I'd really like to see a character destroy hundreds of 30-damage nuts and still approach and ultimately defeat Stumpy. Especially with the way they ricochet, and Pollen Plume to worry about. Cynder's lightning is one of the few attacks in the game that's even remotely effective at this, and what's she going to do when she catches him... ghost damage? Or get murdered? I'd say the latter.

Never said anything about Terrafin. He is another solidly broken character who needs counters of his own. My point all along was, good luck having a winning record against S2 Stumpy without an equally lopsided character in terms of power. |

My list
Fright Rider: Joust Jockey It does so much damage and you move so much faster than Lance A Lot. Jet Vac: Bird Blaster, the air cannon actually does decent damage and the charged shot is awesome. Flashwing: I picked Super Shards because you can spam them and they do lots of damage. Pop Fizz: Mad Scientist for sure. The potions do so much damage and they`re just plain epic. Chill: Ice Javelin Path, they do so much damage, and they`re fairly rapidfire, it makes Chill a tank. Tree Rex:Lumbering Laserer, the spammable laser is awesome, and the charged laser is great for taking out strong enemies. Swarm: Barbarous Avenger, the blades do a lot of damage, and the blades shot while flying are pretty awesome too. Bouncer: I-Beam Supreme, the upgraded fingerguns are tank, and the I-Beam is rediculously powerful. Crusher: Rock Grinder because the upgraded hammer does so much damage.

Bonecrafter is way stronger, but is SOOOOOOOOO boring. I find it one of the least enjoyable paths in the game, (I'd rather be spamming orbs than Raining Skulls and popping up spiky walls all the time) I'd MUCH rather go with Shade Master.
