AND Trashwing

True, True.

I think that the characters that would be the awesomest on both paths would be Bash, Double trouble, Hot head, Shroomboom, Warnado, Fright rider, Zook, Bouncer, and Lightning rod.

Dude, hot head would be a complete BEAST.

LIGHTNING ROD LORD OF THE LIGHTNING AND VOODOOD ON MAURADER

Pop Fizz would be a BEAST.

Maybe.

I think stealthelf would be a beast on both paths

Yeah, she could go on the defensive OR offensive!

True, but her Forest Ninja is more for story mode rather than PvP though. Not a bad path, but the damage numbers just don't compare to PBS.

Quote: swarm form

What is the best path for Pop fiz, Jet vac, Flashwing, Sprocket, Fright rider, Chill, Tree rex, Bouncer, Crusher, and Hot head?

Well, I only have Flashwing. Sorry!! BUT, it depends on which you prefer honestly. If you are a projectile kind of person, then go with Super Shards. If you like to deflect attacks and spin, then go with Super Spinner! Hope it helped!

Quote: MermaidKelly

Which path would you recommend for Camo and Whirlwind? I'm at the choosing point for both, and would like some input! Thanks!

Whirlwind is an ABSOLUTE BEAST on Tempest Dragon because her Wow Pow Power definitely sides better with Tempest Dragon. Plus each do 30 damage, which may seem low, but when you spam them, they add up very quickly! Ultimate Rainbower is definitely fun, especially with Rainbow Singularity, but the damage numbers just don't add up. Plus, there are far better "lobbers" out there than her. Hope it helped. Oh, and Camo is more of a personal choice. People say Vine Virtuoso is stronger, but both have their flaws. I would probably go with Vine Virtuoso, due mostly to others' recommendations.

The problem with the "Both paths" idea is that some characters have upgrades on both paths with the same trigger buttons, they'd have to try to find a way around that... And seeing that it would be unacceptable to change the buttons of pre-existing characters, they have 2 choices: 1) to exclude some characters, like with the upgrade path switch or 2) forego this idea entirely. And with the outcry about option #1 when they did it this time, option #2 seems more likely.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, what's gonna happen if I try to smash a meganut if my Stump Smash is on both paths?

It will create the explosion AND send acorns flying around?

The fireball path makes him a beast because he deals lots of damage and long ranged enemies (gargantulas) can destroy him behind the firewall.

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.

I do not have Pop Fizz. BUT, from what I have seen, Mad Scientist DOES INDEED look like a better all around choice. Mad Scientist involves strategy to be used properly. It is NOT about mashing the A button. Best of the Beast does indeed make you move slowly, and he is very short ranged. He just does not compare to far superior meleers, such as Stealth Elf and Terrafin.

Am I only the only one who prefers Hex's Shade Master path over Bonecrafter?

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.

I also picked Shade Master at first thinking the SAME thoughts!! However, I found that path VERY unenjoyable, simply because I like to have a strategy, rather than constantly shooting orbs, that only do 32 dmg all together. Bone Crafter is definitely the best pick for Hex in my opinion.

Actually it doesn't, Beast form makes him move at the same speed as his Normal form, it only looks like he moves slower. He's actually slow no matter what you do, although you can go faster in Beast Form by drinking the purple potion to use the pounce attack or just mash the Attack 1 button without using the combo.

Mad Scientist is stronger for PvP, but Story Mode I'd go with Best of the Beast.

BotB is moar fun, too.

I prefer Best of the beast, as it feels more balanced. But neither path is much better than the other at the very end of the day.

What is the best path for thumpback

Anchors A-Yay!

I have not tried the Up close and personal path, but I really like Anchors a yay! The anchor damage becomes amazing, and the power swing combo is a showstopper! The whirlpool combo is cool, but very clunky. The main thing he loses points for is not being able to hit his foe if they get on higher ground than him easily.

I cant decide on which path for hot dog, can doneone help me?

^ Take the Burning Bow Wow! path, it's more fun and is stronger (both for Story and Battle Mode).

I just tried Pyro Pooch last night and even with the Blazing Wildfire, the fire wall is still too slow to pose a great threat in Battle Mode and you can still get hurt when behind the wall. The Fiery Dogs don't atomically spit fireballs when an enemy comes in range, you have to do it first. They only spit when you do it.

My gameplay video on Burning Bow Wow (bad audio though) shall better explain how awesome it is.

I like Burning bow wow better, because it has more fun, and useful tactics.

ok should i reset tree rex on the cannon shooter path, his armor is really ugly

What path should I choose for swarm and hothead?

Dunno about Hot Head (folks seem to prefer Burninator though), but for Swarm Barberous Avenger.

The damage for the Swarm Form only increases by 2 points and the insectsplosion only does 30 damage and has a medium range, the Bee Cleaver is the only good part (does 80 damage). Even then, the swarm form disables flight and he is very slow at walking, Barberous Avenger helps with his speed.

Kepp in mind that I'm basing it on both Story mode and PvP and not just one.

I was thinking the exact same thing also. PvP paths are. Also better for story mode though cuz u r basing ur strategy on a real life opponent which is harder to beat than an NPC. For Hothead iwas considering the fire rain path but I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: I mean the Oil Baron path.

Oil baron is great, i prefer that one because it is more fun, IMO, but both are the same in power.

Can someone give me a description of the damage output and which one would be better for PvP?

I heard Burninator is better for PvP, though I still haven't played Hot Head X-Treme can be a little biased sometimes (no offense).

I think that both of Hot head's paths are pretty much interchangeable for strenght in pvp, but I would give the slight edge to the burninator, as it gives him an easy strategy of stalking the enemy like prey, spamming homing oil blobs that deal a solid 20 damage, and firing off your big flamethrower burst, which I believe does 18 damage, and even more when your enemy is covered in oil.

What about the Oil Baron Path?

i believe Oil Baron is better, it gives him good close range damage, which the other path has pretty much nothing of. and oil and flamethrower attacks are still good even on Oil Baron.

Quote: Drobotdude

What about the Oil Baron Path?

As I mentioned Oil baron, and Burninator are pretty well interchangeable. Oil baron makes him a force up close, no doubt, but it feels less balanced. You get a cool meteor attack from it, but it's kind of difficult to use sometimes. The extra rain damage is probably the highlight of the path.

Mostly for saying Thumpback did. Considering his old username was THUMPterra12.

Yeah! And this: "Thumpback pretty much obliterates all Life types except Stealth Elf"

Wtf?

Yeah, with full elemental power any character can pretty much destroy the element they are strong against.Next thing ya know he'll be saying Thumpback beats them all without upgrades.

What path should I choose for flashwing and bouncer?

Flashwing: Super Spinner is boring so Super Shards. Super Shards is fun, but pathetic in Story Mode though.

Bouncer: I-Beam Supreme is VASTLY superior to Robot Rocketeer, the rockets are still too slow to pose a big threat.

i have to disagree. you can aim a bit ahead of the opponent, and use the rockets from afar, and use the fist tactic up close. rocketeer beats I-Beam every time.

I beam supreme makes Bouncer a powerful character both at range, and up close. With the shooting boost from the first upgrade he is capable of a high DPS from afar, and with the other two upgrades ivested in his I beam he can dish out respectable damage up close too, especially with those laser mines that add to the damage.

The only upgrade worth the i beam path is the bullet one.

NO WAY!! You actually have to use the targeting computer to aim the rockets, which is very slow and leavesyou vulnerable in close range. Even then, the rockets are soo slow.

I-Beam is Supreme
