Yeah, they just seem to reuse the same 5 Skylanders for all of the levels. Probably because they were only allowed to use Skylanders from the show

Great, I have Giants for the Wii! I might reset my Undead Crystal once since I have another Imaginator I'd like to see in action.

@Bifrost, I only made a Sorcerer, but it is really good for ranged attacks and keeping a distance between enemies.

I've made a Sentinel and with Acrobat they're an up close slaughterhouse. Buster is alright, but it's range isn't as great as it could be. It's nice for groups of smaller enemies not really bigger ones. Acrobat is the way to go imo. Clothesline is what I go with, but since I don't have a Sensei yet, I can't get to Hypnotize. It seems pretty nice. Clothesline is good for closing the distance or getting out of a crowd to focus on one enemy. Top Spin only seems viable with it's upgrade because otherwise it seems to just do a bit of damage and pull everyone in (it doesn't have the range it needs to be good either, it's up to a distance where you could just go hit your enemies with a Clothesline.) Grand Slam has a bit of a long animation and not enough damage to make up for it. I wish it did at least a little knockback (it might and I'm just not remembering it.)

Hm, if both are good, it's even harder I'm thinking of keeping one of my Undead landers for the contest tomorrow and the other for the crystal, but don't know which.

The final boss looks like a Super Sayan God Super Sayan Kaos. Oo

Will Wave 3 be out before December? I know that if it's not out until December in the US, I'll be waiting until after Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, I LOVE Jingle Bell Chompy Mage. It's just perfect.

It will be released between the middle and the end of November. Including Jingle Bell Chompy Mage.

I'm not gonna lie, I really liked Gill Grunt as a storyteller, even if he was barely there. I think it was because we saw more character in him than another repose.

Completed the game yesterday, overall a solid Skylanders game easily my personal favorite since Swap Force

I'm going through and getting all the imaginator parts now, has anyone figured out how to blow up the well on the M.A.P? The one Mag's is standing next to, I've tried getting the explosives to the well but they explode right before i get to it, is there something i'm missing?

You have to use the barrel on Dagon Temple island and grind to the village area.

Try getting the explosives from the Dragon Temple Island. I used Gear Shift since her tertiary is still insanely fast (probably faster than actually just walking on the M.A.P.)

Just finished the story. Liked the story, but found it difficult to find every collectible in each chapter, as well as some of the Sensei realms. And I was playing it on the lowest difficulty setting

Thanks! I don't know how to sort my Christmas list now as it might come out too late in December, asides from Jingle Bell Chompy Mage which will probably be released earlier.

Thanks guys that worked, I used Mysticat's stealh mode to speed up and get it there

anybody know where to find the brawler selfie frame in mushroom river??

I've also figured out which senseis have their soul gems in elemental realms.

Water- King Pen
Earth- Golden Queen
Fire- Tae Kwon Crow
Life- Chompy Mage
Air- Wild Storm
Tech- Ro Bow
Magic- Buckshot
Undead- Wolfgang
Light- I still haven't figured this one out
Dark- Hood Sickle

Just finished the game.
Here's my opinion.

I thought a lot on this, because it's quite a strong thing to say but I think it's definitely what I feel: Imaginators is the best Skylanders game yet.

The story indeed lacks SuperChargers' serious and epic mood but I don't think it's a bad thing: it's still highly enjoyable and many dialogues are cleverly written (for the standards of the series, of course) and I don't see all the lore mistakes users are talking about.
I loved the Storytellers, it was great to see more of some legacy characters.
I also really liked how they somehow managed to include quite a lot of NPCs from previous games (such as Tessa, Shellshock, Sharpfin, Softpaw, and minor ones like twitterpillars, Woodburrow inhabitants, landsharks) even if they preferred to focus on the actual Skylanders this time.
Brain is a really interesting character (is he an Ancient? One of his last dialogues seemed to imply he actually caused their demise, even though he could have been a rebel) and I sure hope to see more of him in the future.

Levels were truly amazing this time, such a parfect mix of TfB and V.V. styles and ideas, even thought it started to feel more and more TfB-ish the more the story advanced.
Some were maybe less inspired than others but I enjoyed all of them and think there was a good balance between puzzles, platforming/exploration and fighting.
Musics were fine, nothing truly memorable but they fit their levels and I sure wish there were less reused tracks even if most of them did make sense (Dragon Temple's was also used for Dragon's Peak, if I remember correctly).
The M.A.P... Simply awesome: visually stunning, full of things to do and see and just the cherry on top of this delicious cake.
Realms and Adventures are great side-content as well, from what I've seen so far: can't really complain after SuperChargers' and Trap Team post-game and they are certainly close to SWAP Force's Bonus Missions and SA and Giants' Heroics.

Combat was so much fun, enemies were tough (and I played on Medium) but the knockback mechanic helped keeping them at bay; Battle Gongs were truly challenging.
Doomlanders battles were fun as well, and didn't dragged on for too long: yes, they were formulaic but still managed to be diverse and enjoyable.
Ther other two boss battles were quite original and felt a bit more V.V.-ish in a positive way.
Super Kaos was as good as Traptanium Kaos; at first I thought it was less difficult but simply because he didn't have lots of attacks, the Doomlanders were the true problem.

The characters I've tried so far are all good, particularly like Chopscotch, Crash and Starcast, but they lack the gameplay uniqueness of Cores, which surprisingly was there with the SuperChargers: they are more like powerhouses, though I only own 6 of them and lucklily there are a lot more to get this year.
Imaginators are an amazing gimmick and I'll sure have lots of fun experimenting with the various design and power combinations.

Of course there are things I didn't like that much (like some unnecessarily silly parts, the fact we didn't get a proper ending or some editor limitations) but I loved the whole experience and I still have all the Adventure Packs and many more things to do.

Aurora's Soul Gem is the one in the Light Realm

Is regular Chompy Mage expected for wave 3 too?

Yup. You can see a complete list of Wave 3 here.

It should be noted that early December is also a possible date.

MySkylanders I could kiss you right now, the Wii reset option worked!

Well, you can get the Wii version and Wii controllers for the same effect.

Decided that a week is enough for Ebay to get some deals and gave a look. Crystals and figures are somehow alright, but then the WiiU starter for NTSC is all of my skylanders savings. Great. Really hoping the guy in the US delivers or at least just answer me already if he got the game or not so I can start preparing for the import fees.

wow...just beat the game, it seemed too short imo.

nothing mentioning how we got the Kaos figure...thought they were gonna mention something about a rogue Kaos clone or something to that effect.

I mean, the final level did kinda show how Kaos is egomaniacal enough to make clones of himself to fight you

Also, there is way more stuff to do besides the Story campaign. Have you tried any of the Sensei realms? Getting through all of those will take a while

Yup, couldnt mess those wacky Kaos clones, just would have been nice to have a short cutscene perhaps showing a Kaos clone leaving Kaos to join the SkyLanders, you know, some forethought to say "hey, here's why there's a Kaos figure."

Check, completed the Senesei Realms. Just need to finish finding a few chests and bits and bobs.

When the achievement popped up for completing the game, I was like whaaaaat?! that was quick.

There are still the Adventures, in case you haven't played them yet.
They aren't comparable to story levels but you'll probably appreciate them if you liked Heroics and Bonus Missions.

Regarding Kaos' clone, his backstory says he was one of Kaos' first creations, so while it would have been nice to have him appear in the final level it wouldn't have made much sense.

Where is the reset feature in general?

Where is the reset feature in general?

It's not on Creation Crystals because money. Regular Skylanders have it though!

I wish they could have at least let us reset the money and level if not the class....

But no, they have to meet their yearly deadline...

I don't see reset defect toy

Wait, so there's NO WAY to reset the level and gold!?

Without the trick, nope. Good luck not killing everything you lightly point towards with your level 58 imaginator next game.

Unless they reeeeeeeeeeally nerf the Imaginators.

Are you serious?
Kaos Sensei is canon.
And canonically, he was created literally right before Imaginators.
It was in his bio that he was the first thing Kaos created with Mind Magic.
You complaining that there wasn't an in-game explanation is the same thing as complaining that Aurora's connection with Eon wasn't shown in game, or literally why any of the villains became Senseis.

For some reason i had a free skylander coupon from gamestop so i went and got Hood Sickle for free

Found the frame.

Now, if only i could find that Ninja Frame in fizzland..

Coupons are love.

Coupons are life.

I wonder if Imaginators will even be capatible next game...

We're talking about Activision, so guess by yourself.

Well, as long as i'm still able to kill everything in sight with a level 58 air sorcerer imaginator, i'll be good.

It's pretty fascinating that Wii Giants reset trick only works on the Wii version of Giants. Does it work on an original Wii, or only Wii U in Wii Mode?

Both!

Is it true that the Wii U version looks even more blurry than the previous games?

Quote: Kevin16

Is it true that the Wii U version looks even more blurry than the previous games?

I mean... maybe? I wouldn't be surprised considering how underpowered the Wii U is.

It's on an island to the side of where the Battle Gong is I believe. If I'm remembering incorrectly where the Battle Gong is, I know for a fact that it's to the side of the big area with a green pool in the center.

Skylanders doesn't even have ''that'' great graphics I:

If they would take the time to polish it for Xbox 360, Ps3 and Wii U it wouldn't be as blurry, the Wii U can handle very beautifull games like Mario Kart 8.
