With PVP gone and EgoNault not updating we have no Tiers List. Me and Wreakingballlbob are teaming up to make it. We need you to decide if it should be like Wreakingballbob's Story Mode Tiers List on another site or if it should have both Story and the new mode Kaos Mode. What do you think we should do?

Just Story- 0

Story and Kaos Mode- 2

The one with the most votes after the day is done we will do.

Also, my reasoning for wanting it only being Story Mode is that both tier list will be pretty much the same in my eyes and there's seems be no need to have two different ones unlike PvP which was against Skylanders. You're against enemies in both of these.

I wouldn't merge both into one list because they're going to be drastically different modes, just like Survival and Story were. If anything, I'd prioritise making a Kaos Mode Tier List over a story one because that mode will probably be more difficult and a Tier List would probably be more useful there.

I understand what you mean but in both modes you defeat enemies. The damage numbers will be the same in both modes which means it will take the same power to beat enemies in both. I mean how else would I rank Skylanders in story mode?

Why not both?

We weren't going to merge them but we would do two different topics.

I didn't want to merge both lists. I just want one list because they'll be very similar.

^ That's what I mean by merging them.

In Kaos Mode I imagine slow but powerful Skylanders will be more useful. In Story, better speed is greatly appreciated to get through levels faster. Better speed would surely be useful in Kaos Mode too, but considerably less than in Story, methinks.

If you're just going to judge how they do against enemies, fine, but I think you should consider how fast they can get through levels overall. And if you consider that, I think quite a few Skylanders would change placement in a Story tier list.

I think Kaos Mode is the best option for the initial tier list. Most Skylanders can do pretty well in Story mode, but Kaos Mode is mostly likely much harder and more strategic.

I guess maybe it should be split. I was mainly basing all of this on power which would be the same it both tiers without thinking about speed and armour. Speed would help you get around enemies quicker to strike them and armour would reduce damage taken. So, yeah they should be split. Story will be about Power, Armour and Speed and Kaos Mode will be about only power?

It should be split.

boath.

I agree, split them. I think they should be judged on their effectiveness in Kaos mode. Not just how much damage they do, but also how they fair with multiple enemies, how many levels they can endure, and how efficient each Skylander's battle technique is(e.g. if you need to use hit-and-run tactics that take longer but has a better chance to survive more battles over button mashing your attacks).

I'd say for both modes cause this sounds like really great idea.

It has been decided.

I will work on the Survival/ Kaos Mode Tiers List

and

Wreckingballbob will work on Story Mode Tiers List.

Be sure to look at both and help us with both.

What date will we make them?

How about October 4th. We should have all info by then.

What do you mean by all info?

Paths, Gameplay, Names, Chapters and Arena Modes.

Ah, yes. Since the Australian version will be out and some people will have the book which has the paths and stuff in.

I'm confused

Well, I'll be contributing to the Kaos Mode list probably... With PVP gone there won't really be much else I'm interesting in thinking about on that level. Unless Time Attack is back.

I probably won't contribute to the Story list, though, because it's pretty easy once you memorise everything anyway. I don't like how in Story a character would basically need lots of speed to place high on a tier list. I think I wouldn't enjoy it. It'd make the list kind of predictable.

When I get the game, I'll try to dump a list of whatever upgrades I can find.

I not basing it just on speed and basing it on all factors combined.

Im basing my tiers list on how good skylanders survive and how easy it is to win.

I will gladly do my best to contribute. Though I'm waiting to get TT around Christmas so I don't have to pay the launch price. Hope my findings will be of use to people.


Thanks, Arc of Archives and Arc of Archives' potato.

Once you get it feel free to help.
