darkSpyro

What would they be? For me I'm only doing the Senseis but you can do whatever.

Water: Water Quickshot
Air: Air Strike
Magic: Mysticat
Tech: Tech Bowslinger
Life: Ambush
Undead: Chopscotch
Fire: Flarewolf
Earth: Barbella
Dark: Starcast
Light: Aurora

Undead: Hex
Earth: Golden Queen
Air: Bad Juju
Life: Tree Rex
Magic: Mysticat and Spyro
Fire: Flarewolf
Tech: Magnificent Beard Man
Water: Grave Clobber
Dark: Starcast

Not really interested in anyone from Light, still.

Hopefully I can end up with at least one of these eventually:

Light: Aurora
Air: Air Strike
Life: Ambush
Undead: Chopscotch
Earth: Tri Tip
Fire: Ughhh this is a hard one. Flare wolf, for now.
Water: Unnamed Quickshot
Magic: Mysticat
Tech: Unnamed Bowslinger
Dark: Starcast

I could cope without playing as Spyro due to his NPC role.

^ That's why I didn't select him.

And I forgot Life, hold on

I'd use nine of my Imaginators plus Starcast.

Water: King Pen
Earth: Golden Queen
Life: Crash Bandicoot
Tech: Cortex
Fire: Flarewolf
Magic: Pain-Yatta
Undead: Wolfgang
Air: Imaginator
Light: Imaginator
Dark: Hood Sickle

Easy, as I'm only getting 10 Skylanders.

Squid Girl
Air Strike
Mysticat
Barbella
Chopscotch
Ambush
Tech Bowslinger
Aurora
Starcast
Flarewolf

I forgot Earth too?

Wait no I didn't. I'm drunk or something

Eon's Elite
Eon's Elite
Eon's Elite
Eon's Elite
Eon's Elite
Eon's Elite
Eon's Elite
Eon's Elite

And... Series 1/2 I guess?

Like only ten? And I could choose any ten characters I wanted?

Air: Air Strike
Dark: Hood Sickle
Earth: Golden Queen
Fire: Tae Kwon Crow
Life: Chompy Mage
Light: Blaster-Tron
Magic: Bowslinger
Tech: Swashbuckler
Undead: Chopscotch:
Water: Quickshot

Kaos, Crash and the other reformed villains, minus Grave Clobber and Taekwon Crow I guess (element change is strange...). I think that's ten.

Magic : Elite Spyro
Undead : Bone bash roller brawl and Krypt King
Earth : Golden Queen
Tech : Neo cortex
Life : Crash bandicoot
Light : Aurora
Dark : Hood sickle
Fire : Blast Zone
Air : Bad juju

Air: Pop Thorn
Water: Echo
Tech: Bouncer and Techslinger
Magic: Enigma and Spyro
Life: Stump Smash
Undead: Fiesta
Fire: Tae Kwon Crow and Sunburn

If I could only use Senseis:

Air: Wild Storm
Fire: Tae Kwon Crow
Life: Ambush
Undead: Chopskotch
Dark: Hood Sickle
Light: Blaster-Tron
Earth: Tri-Tip
Water: Grave Clobber
Magic: Pain-Yatta
Tech: Either Techslinger or Beardbuckler

Fire : Fire Knight Imaginator Street
Light : Light ?Knight? Imaginator Anna
Dark : Sorcerer Imaginator Cedric
Magic : Sorcerer Imaginator Scor
Life : Life Brawler Imaginator Sexual Harassment Panda
Water : Water Brawler Imaginator Chun Li
Earth : Earth ?Sorcerer? Imaginator Amber
Tech : Tech Quickshot Imaginator ?????
Air : Air Sentinel Imaginator Spring
Undead : Undead Swashbuckler Imaginator ???

All of them? Of course my favorites!

Life: Stealth Elf (SERIES 1!!!)
Air: Scratch (tho it could also be Juju)
Undead: Hex (First portal drop and at least one chapter finished with her, that's my tradition)
Magic: Deja Vu (who'd you expect)
Tech: Gearshift (Still one of the most unique Landers)
Water: Squid Girl (She's becoming my new fave)
Fire: Smolderdash (It's a shame that I only played her for ten minutes in SC)
Earth: Golden Queen (dream come true)
Light: Aurora (seems the best out of the Light ones)
Dark: Nightfall (sry Starcast)

They're all girls... wow

Well only Sensei I plan on doing...

Earth: Barbella
Tech: Techslinger
Fire: Flarewolf
Undead: Chopscotch
Air: Air Strike
Magic: Mysticat
Water: Quickshot
Life: Ambush
Dark: Starcast
Light: Aurora

But with any Skylander probably...

Light: Knight Light
Dark: Nightfall
Earth: Smash Hit
Water: Freeze Blade
Fire: Blast Zone
Air: Pop Thorn
Life: SS Stealth Elf
Undead: Hex
Magic: Hoot Loop
Tech: High Volt

Water Hood Sickle
Air: Hood Sickle
Magic: Hood Sickle
Tech: Hood Sickle
Life: Hood Sickle
Undead: Hood Sickle
Fire: Hood Sickle
Earth: Hood Sickle
Dark: Hood Sickle
Light: Hood Sickle

Then I would literally pick any random 10 out of my existing collection.

Sensei

Water: Squid Shooter
Fire: Flarewolf (Would be Tae Kwon Crow but I don't like his element change)
Undead: Pit Boss
Life: Ambush
Earth: Tri-Tip (Even though he's literally just a walking Bash)
Air: Air-Strike (For now)
Magic: Mysticat (so happy there's a quadruped)
Tech: Bowslinger
Light: Blaster-Tron?
Dark: Starcast

Regular

Water: Zap
Fire: Sunburn (imo there are no really good fire besides him)
Life: Camo
Undead: Fright Rider
Earth: Dino-Rang (Bash or Scorp are close)
Air: Whirlwind
Magic: Hoot-Loop (then Voodood)
Tech: Drobot (then Chopper)

If I can best it very easily on nightmare with just Gear Shift (like I can do with SuperChargers as she's so OP), then I'll pick 9 other favorite lady-landers. Nightmare, Splat, Hex, Stealth Elf, Star Strike, Flashwing, Roller Brawl, Bat Spin, and Smolderdash, perhaps? But I could easily pick Scratch, Chill, Torch, Ember, Aurora, Head Rush, Ninjini, Echo, and Chopscotch as well. I think there is now some 30 to 40 females to pick from and I could easily make 3 teams of 10 random females for the game and be happy with my decision as long as Gear Shift is on the team.

If it's a very challenging game, then I'll pick the ones from each element which I personally feel are the best at combat. It's hard to say which ones those are as there could be a new character that is quite OP over what I currently have. I've always used Gear Shift, Flashwing and Magna Jet heavily in prior games and they surely would be used in a new challenging game.

Magic: Pain-yatta
Water: Grave Clobber
Tech: Cortex
Life: Crash
Fire: Tae Kwon Crow
Earth: Tri-Tip
Air: Air Strike
Undead: Wolfgang
Light: Blaster-Tron
Dark: Hood Sickle

One of each element and one of each class of my own creation. Going for the unexpected combos like a tech sorcerer or a mic knight. True portalmasters don't go for the obvious. IMHO

An imaginator of each class and element, of course.

I'm gonna do only Senseis for this list.
Techslinger
Hood Sickle
Crash
Cortex
Ambush
Flarewolf
Golden Queen
Wolfgang
Chopscotch
Wild Storm
