The Creator App that leaked today allows you to get the description for powers in the Creation Crystals! No visual preview, but you can read the info, which allows us to fill in some missing info that's not already on the Wikia site -- http://skylanders.wikia.com/wiki/Elements

Here are the attacks for each element, in the order they are listed, with the descriptions. (NOTE: You can click the element name for a screenshot of the Elemental Power screen from the Creator app.)

Air:

Storm Cloud - Summon a storm cloud that chases enemies

Twisting Tornadoes - Create powerful tornadoes that track down targets

Shockingly Swift Step - Dash forward, pulling enemies to your starting point and shocking them.

Toucan Zap You - Call in two bird allies that drop lightning explosives.

Dark:

Black Hole - Create black holes that suck enemies in.

Dark Mist - Turn into a dark mist. Stay transformed longer. (I assume that's supposed to be "Hold the button to stay transformed longer.")

Smoke and Shadows - Enhance your attacks with smoke and shadows giving you a damage increase.

Pools of Darkness - Focus your dark energy on a specific location.

Earth:

Earth Shaker - Burrow underground, shaking the ground underneath your enemies.

Crystal Calamity - Summon exploding crystals from deep underground.

Earth Fist - Hit your enemies with earthen uppercuts.

Rhino Beetle - Summon the ancient Rhino Beetle! A Rhino Dive Attack.

Fire:

Burning Dash - Dash with a fire trail.

Meteor Shower - Summon meteors.

Tri Flames - Summon spinning flames.

Explosion - A powerful explosion.

Life:

Vine Bloom - Grow explosive vines.

Wool Over Your Eyes - Turn into a sheep so enemies will not notice you.

Poisonous Pestilence - Creates clouds of poisonous gas.

Flower Power - Grow plants that damage your enemies.

Light:

Rainbow Rampage - Attack your enemies with rainbows.

Flashbang - Toss a blinding orb into the air, damaging and stunning enemies.

Speed of Light - Quickly dash through enemies and send them flying.

Luminous Block - Generate energy cover. If you're hit while pulsing, you create a large explosion of light.

Magic:

Time Bubble - Slow enemies down inside a time bubble.

Trick Teleport - Teleport dash.

Bewildering Blast - Send nearby enemies flying.

Orb Shot - Toss out a set of four magic orbs around you.

Tech:

Tactical Turrets - Create deadly turrets.

Mechanical Microbots - Create microbot helpers that pack a punch.

Motorcycle Mayhem - Summon a sparking gear bike and dash forward.

Mighty Mines - Create proximity mines.

Undead:

Tombstone Timber - Hit your enemies with a tombstone attack.

Last Laugh - Throw laughing skulls at your enemies.

Soul Stealer - Turn the souls of your enemies into health orbs.

Contagion - Release a contagion that spreads around your enemies.

Water:

Wave Push - Summon a tidal wave to keep your foes at bay.

Bubble Bounce - Turn into a bubble and bounce around your enemies.

Ice Block - Create a giant ice block. Push it.

Piranha Pets - Summon hungry piranhas that seek out enemies.

Noooice. This will help Crash10 while he doesn't have a PC,too.

Your assumption about Dark #2 is right. The full descriptions is: "Press Attack 2 to turn into a dark mist. Hold Attack 2 to stay transformed longer."

Nice, thanks for this! Some of these newly found ones make we want to come up with totally different Imaginator designs, hehe.

It seems to me like the elemental powers are two offensive and two defensive. Like Wave Push and Time Bubble could be good for Ranged Classes since it'd be wiser to keep enemies away from you.

I'm happy to have been able to contribute to the community.

If nobody else gets to it first, I'll do another thread listing each of the Battle Classes' attacks later tonight. It's been a slow afternoon here, but it's the end of my work day, and I need to wrap up a couple things so I can go home.

Do it at your own pace, McMurderpaws, I know I'm not messing with the wiki until I had my fun here

Ooooooh true, this will help me. Thanks pal.

Now that I know that one of the Earth attacks involves crystals, I can make my Earth Smasher, Crystal Cracker!

Terr-bloody-rific...I guess I can finally start figuring out what crystals I want. I see Life Sheep/ram in my future, maybe a brawler type...

Air looks real fun as well...

Light looks WEAK...I got excited when I saw a clip of the rainbow attacks bouncing around, but on the surface, I don't see anything valuable about light by description alone...

Tech sounds pretty strong...

Undead is like Life to me, more thematic than practical. Not going to hunt it down or fight over it with my son...but I could have some fun idea wise.

This game makes me miss City of Heroes more every day tbh :teardrop:

The rainbow attack is pretty crazy, it seems to lock onto enemies pretty accurately unlike most semi-homing shots. But the rest really don't feel that great from afar.

I'm looking forward to the fourth Light power, Luminous Block. Feels like it'll fit my Brawler's concept pretty well.

(By the way, I'm trying to upload screenshots from the Creator app for the elemental powers right now.)

I'm expecting the third light power to be similar to spitifire's dash or even high five's one.

I have updated the original post -- each of the element names is now a link to a screenshot of that element within the Creator app.

^cool, thanks.

Bumping this topic because it's very useful to players who want to plan out their creations' element before they make them.

So basically certain elements will make better classes

Yup, and that's what I want to know before I create anything. Which battle class and element attacks compliment each other best?

This thread is so helpful. It should be stickied.

Thanks so much for this thread! I really like the light ball thingy, it stuns smaller enemies pretty well. It is VERY bright on screen though. Now I know I'm going to make an Earth brawler!

I'm definitely making Jasper as an Earth Brawler now. The Bruiser and Crystal Calamity attacks are a perfect combination for her.

The storm cloud attack is awesome. It also fits the "weather witch" theme of
my air imaginator.

It appears that there are 10 types of heroes per element and with that in mind it would take 100 crystals to make one of every hero in every element. $1K worth of crystals.

Is there any *real* difference between a hero of one element or another? I know that there will be different moves that you can use per element, but you can equip any part to any hero in any element as far as I can tell.

With this in mind, you could buy 10 crystals and have one of each hero from each element. Just have to determine which hero is the best for each element...

I'm just trying to work out how not to spend $$$$ on dozens or more of crystals.

Thoughts?

Don't bother with that train of thought. There are VERY little difference between the element crystals and the attacks. It's not that there isn't a difference, its just that as you get 4 attacks and only one of them is element related, once you've made one of a battle class, the urge to make more drops considerably. And frankly the classes feel super limited in their current form...they really need TWO element attacks IMO...
