What is your list for most over/under-powered characters? Just curious.
Out of the non-Giants (don't have enough giants to say, just have 3), Eruptor (Eruption path), Terrafin (Sandhog path, HOWEVER, in Giants, while in PvP, I noticed if he came up underneath certain hazards such as eruptor's eruption, he would actually come out of the ground and take damage, Flamslinger (Pyromancer), Stealth Elf (both paths, though Forest Ninja is funnest), and Wrecking Ball. In the PS3 version (SSA, unknown with Giants. Does not have this power in the Wii version though), Drobot as well, since while in hover mode, he acts as a turret and will auto-aim at enemies.

Great but not ultimate: Wrecking Ball (sphere path), Sonic Boom (roar path. She isn't the greatest in PvP, but with the upgrade that make any enemy struck by her roar bounce it all over the place, she's probably one of the best cloud control characters), LC Prism Break (Crystaleer), Sprocket (Turret path, good hit and run character, with her turrets set and soul gem power she's pretty good as long as she stays a bit away from enemies)

Underpowered: Probably Spyro (any path, though the charge path is better), hard to say what others (only own about 20 skylanders, giants inculded).

Well, for me, the only REALLY overpowered one is s2 prism break on prismancer, and the only lander that constantly loses to him is s1 whirlwind tempest dragon. Swarm is a nice 60% to 40%, the odds going towards prism break, and flashwing either path can inflict some
Nice dmg on him.

Whirlwind is kinda overpowered, but s2 flameslinger, hot head, and s2 eruptor decimate her
Due to elemental advantages. I just run away while spamming clouds, and she wins 80% of the time.

Eruptor is high dmging, but only if the opponent is melee. Flameslinger and tree rex lumbering laserer outright murder him in most arenas. He does last a bit longer on the heavily bounce padded arenas, though.

Double trouble is very arena dependent. A fight vs any character with a bigger range than him in slime pipe or sunrise towers is a sure fail. He is unbeatable on mushroom grove and docks of doom, though.


Under powered characters


I dont really think many are underpowered, as people have different playstyles, and my underpowered landers may be high on the overpowered list of others.

Lightning rod. Either path. I am horrible with this character, and the wowpow does nothing. I lose even to wrecking ball with this guy.

Wrecking ball, kinda sorta. He can be pretty good at the slime pipe. Other than that, playing with him is just suicide.

Well, i hope this is enough!

I don't have any S2 yet (with so many people buying S2 figs, there were some big sales to clear out the s1 figs, so i bought those with giants). Eruptor is good in the slime pipe, where it's impossible to aim well with ranged guys. Prism break is good, though i couldn't use his prismancer path well, so switched to crystaleer and was much more satisfied (i have a lightcore prism break, btw). Wrecking ball, he's actually one of the better ones. He's hard to control, so he isn't on my top 5 list, though he is on my top 10 list. With his sphere path, he's pretty good.

Prism break and eruptors wowpows are amazing. I definitely recomend their s2 characters. S2 prism break has the best figure in mai collection, too.
