I've been on this board for awhile, long time lurker, first time poster, blah blah blah. Anywho, I'm a 30 something longtime gamer, (Old school Atari yea what up!) and a father of two, a 6 year old and a 2 year old, both girls. I'm raising the six year old right. She's turning into a hardcore gamer, anyway, we got into Skylanders last year, blah blah, collecting, blah blah, I'm a computer spreadsheet dork, which leads me to this topic. I created an excel spreadsheet (and a MS One Note) of all the Skylanders, listing their stats. (Based on the stats found found on various websites) Overall, she dominates in speed, and critical hit, and falls in around third in Armor. Statistically speaking, spreading out across all of the stats, Ninjini ranks number 1. If anyone wants the spreadsheets, let me know, more than willing to send them out.

I actually noticed her statistic advantage over everyone else once I started doing the heroics! I've made myself a spreadsheet with all the series one/two/variants and keep track of what level each is on, how many challenges, and Quests. It's the only way to keep track of which characters are done what, I'm a completionist!

So given Scarlett gets a boost to Armour and Critical Hit that would make her stupidly powerful

Is your spreadsheet data of brand new skylanders with no upgrades, or is it data from fully upgraded and heroic'ed up skylanders?
I only ask because I tried something like this way back before Giants came out, and I found that the top skylanders before they were leveled up are not at the top of the list when fully upgraded.

just to avoid confusion, the few skylanders that have an upgrade that effects there stats, are only effecting the Armor Stat, right?
also, do stats have a cap? heroic challenges made many of my Elemental Power's cap at 100, when they actually should be higher.

Yeah, I saw that. I for one wish Spyro was the most powerful Skylander, but that is my opinion.

She's ridiculously over powered and I never feel a challenge playing as her. I've already maxed her out, so she mostly sits on the shelf to rot.

Scarlet has the highest base critical hit of any character, making her even more powerful.

Also, if you could link to that spreadsheet, that'd be nice. Don't forget to add the alts/variants!

Why don't you share it in Google docs and make it public and share the link here?

I've noticed this myself, I posted that she was the strongest overall on MiiVerse. Adding the Knights helm, making her even more powerful (especially in her elemental zones), was able to get thru nightmare mode with her and Scarlini. (used magic items as well) Seperate paths for each. She is by far my favorite Giant.

Don't forget, you can play a game of skylanders chess if you want to engage her again. But yeah, if SF is like Giants--all your figures will in all likelihood rot.

Ninjini may be the most powerful statistically but with the right strategies, you can beat Ninjini to death. She is a very powerful skylander though from what i'm hearing.

Your Elemental Power shouldn't cap at 100 at all, challenges make it go over that (to 115 i believe), the bar showing how close to completion does go over the end, which is amusing, but that stat still is over 100

I'm sure they did it so you can go "wow I went over the cap. I'm awesome".

It's mostly just sad. One of my newer Skylanders and I've already decided I don't like her.
I'd rather play with Eye-Brawl. kaythanksbye
[/buries Ninjini in green bases]

I personally love Ninjini.
Her stats do absolutely rock, compared to the competition.

The main thing about her I love though, is that unlike many of the Skylanders, you can not just button-mash on the X-button when using Ninjini. Her main sword attack, while deadly with a sweeping range, has a cool-down/delay on it. In other words, you have to wait a little bit before pushing the X-button for her next swing, or it won't register/happen. This effect makes the timing her sword combos a bit tricksy, and to me, it's a breath of fresh air compared to "spam" attack characters (such as Drobot or Trigger Happy or Gill Grunt, etc.)

I'm sure many people don't find what I mentioned particularly interesting or novel, and that's fine; everyone's entitled to his/her opinion.
I just don't buy into the whole "I don't use Ninjini; the game's too easy with her" viewpoint, at all. If you need more challenge, use Ninjini without using the X-button. It's not easy to defeat everything with just bottle rockets and light orbs.

Completely agree. I'm a spreadsheet nerd too and would love to see all this data.
