If you had to replace one Battle Class with one that you would want to see, what one would you get rid of and whatnot one would you replace it with? For me, it would be like this:

Get Rid Of: Swashbuckler
Why: Swashbucklers can easily be lumped into the Knight or Sentinel Classes, and it seemed to me that this Class had the least amount of Skylanders in it before Imaginators.

Replace It With: Dragon
Why: Being able to make four-legged characters was something everyone wanted to see, and I know a few of you are disappointed that we are not getting this feature to do so. That's why I came up with this Class. When creating Dragon Imaginators, you can decide what wings, tails, legs, heads and hats they have as well as their voice effects. You can also create Dragon Imaginators without wings. However, you do not choose a weapon for Dragon Imaginators. Instead, you choose what they breath, whether it's fire, electricity, water, ice, poisonous gas or something else. When you've created a Dragon Imaginator, you can decide whether their first attack is to breath their magic breath in the form of balls, like Spyro or Zap, or whether they breath it in a steady stream, like Sunburn. If you choose to give your Dragon Imaginators wings, they will always be flying even when idle, like how Sorcerers always float. If you choose not to give them wings, they will always be on the ground, like Bash.

Now, here's how I see the roster changing if we got Dragons a not Swashbucklers:

We'd get Tech and Light Dragons. The Tech dragon would be male and entirely robotic. He would not have wings, but instead a giant propeller on his back. He'd attack by firing puffs of steam from his mouth. His name would be Blast-Off. The Light Dragon would be a Chimera, with a lion head, the front legs of a dragon, the back legs of a goat, and a serpent as a tail. She'd also have large, feathered wings on her back. She'd attack by breathing beams of light from her mouth. Her name would still be Aurora.

As for the villain of this class:
Our Brawler villain would instead be in the Air Element, and it would either be Cuckoo Clocker, Eye-Five, Krankenstein or it would stay Grave Clobber. Our Dragon Villain would be Water, and it would be Slobber Trap, since he's the only villain in Trap Team that has four legs. He could attack by breathing water balls from his mouth.

And that's it. I was originally going to have a Healer or Summoner Class, but I thought that they'd be too similar to Sorcerers. So I chose Dragons. Feel free to post what you think below.

Golly that was a long post.

I had two options for changes, but a little tired to think of the second one. I might edit it in later.

Replace Swashbuckler with Summoner. Weapon is partially Gear, either a necklacke charm or a headdress.
Swashbuckler is such a copy of the Knight class that you have the same weapons, just doubled. However, the Djinni concept could not go to waste if you made another magic class. This time, instead of throwing balls from your hands like your staff is useless, looking at ya Sorcerer, you summon creatures or hazards depending on the element and primary attack - it's a good compromise for having a limited body type,don't you think?
Air summons dust devils or lightning, Undead summons ghosts or spiderwebs, Life summons hornets or brambles... One primary focuses on creatures, the other on inanimate things. Secret Techniques are more universal allies - clones, small portals, spikes or good old mines. The Soul Gem, being universal to everyone, has to be as neutral as possible, so a rain of energy orbs from the sky woud keep the Ninjini inspiration in place.
The villain can stay Bad Juju, instead of a weapon she has her golden tiara from the Armored enemy counterpart.

Replace Smasher with Demolishor. The symbol would be of a bomb like and would have different uses of different types of bombs. I can't believe this wasn't a class to begin with.

WE NEED A CLASS WITH WHIPS

REPLACE SWASHBUCKLER

WHY? BECAUSE WHIPS.

I had no better explanation.

Replace ninja with dragons

I want Weapon Master (four-armed and uses a sword, axe, and lance) as a class, and think it could replace Swashbuckler (since they both use multiple melee weapons).

Replace Brawlers/Smashers with 'Flamethrowers' (i.e. Dragons) because Brawling and Smashing sounds awfully similar to me.

I'd combine Quickshot & Bazooker, and replace some of them with Dragons. The newly combined classes would be renamed Gunners or Blasters. Villains, Chompy Mage would be replaced by either Slobber Trap ( which is a stretch to call a dragon ) or maybe Vathek ( I really would have liked at least 1 older villain, or at least 1 non Trap Team villain ).

Oh, and I'd have made it so Ninja Imaginators had actual torsos.....

Replace Swashbuckler with "Reflector"- characters who use big shields like wildfire's.

I agree completely with this. We need some big ol' tanky characters

Replace Bazooker with Bomber. Just throws bombs. 'Cause let's face it who doesn't love throwing bombs in video games?

Also Bomber villain would be Lob Goblin in Light element, replacing Blaster-Tron and turning Grave Clobber into the Knight, then replacing Chompy Mage with Cuckoo Clocker as a Life Brawler.

Replace Swashbuckler with anything. Maybe long range melee so whips, chains etc.

Swashbuckler for whippers or defenders

Emphasizing on ZapNorris' idea, instead of calling them Reflectors they should be called "Guardians", sounds so cool

Replace Swashbuckler with a class called Heavy. They would be the tank of battle-classes, and you could arm them with heavy rifles and miniguns.

in the case of the reflectors, the senseis-

aurora being replaced by a big, tanky, armored light spirit with a sun-themed shield and moveset.

tech guy being replaced by an old, crazy, russian wizard dude with a HUGE clock shield. (like time from the second burton alice movie)

the villain then being dreamcatcher, who wields a big, transparent shield with her hair.

Titan Class: Generally slow, tanky characters that have high attack stats and wield giant shields. They all bash and swipe at enemies with the shield.

Villain is Cuckoo Clocker. His shield is a giant mushroom cap. He can smash it into the ground creating ripples in the earth around him or he can stick it into the ground and go into a rampage mode where his attack is increased and he runs around pummeling enemies (kind of like eye-brawl but you can control him and his swings are much faster).

Air Sensei is a bipedal storm Pterodactyl that wields its nest as a shield. It can fling the nest like Captain America's shield and can summon a tornado that sweeps up the nest and seeks out enemies while he takes to the sky and breathes lightning down on his opponents.

Undead Sensei is an elf necromancer that uses dark magic to create a shield of dark matter in front of him. He can summon skeletal warriors to fight for him and can expand shield into a darkness zone that greatly increases both his and allies damage and let's him let lose bolts of pure death.

A class that uses a flail weapon, Dunno what to replace it with, but Grave Clobber would be the villain.

I'd replace Smasher with a Summoner Class. Still bummed there isn't a summoner.

I was gonna make a dragon class, but OP beat me to it, so...
Ninja gets replaced with Shinobi. Same thing, except NOT walking heads. No changes in the roster (except Nightshade with his smoke Bombs and daggers replaces Hood Sickle as the Dark Villain and Tae as the Shinobi villain, Pepper Jack becomes a brawler who has dual egg beater fists, and Blaster Tron's ugly mug gets replaced with Luminous and his Crystal blade, and the Gulper replaces hood sickle as the sentinel and GC as the Water Villain. Dreamcatcher replaces Bad Juju as the Air Swashbuckler with floating Swords, and Pain-Yatta and Kaos stay as is, to complete the unidecafecta)

Smasher of Magic, Pain-Yatta
Brawler of Fire, Pepper Jack
Swashbuckler of Air, Dreamcatcher
Bazooker of Life, Chompy Mage
Sentinel of Water, The Gulper
Sorcerer of Earth, Golden Queen
Bowslinger of the Undead, Wolfgang
Quickshot of Technology, Dr. Krankcase
Shinobi of Darkness, Nightshade
Knight of Light, Luminous
Kaos Klass of Kaos, Kaos Klone

trifecta

More like nonafecta, considering you have a list of 9, not 3.
Speaking of, why no Pain-Yatta to complete the decafecta?

Whipslasher for Swashbuckler. I need my Amethyst ;-;

Relating to my dream replace Brawler with Boomeranger

Villain would be Dreamcatcher with a boomerang that looks like one of her claws

Life gets a squirrel Who has a boomerang are of Leaves

Fire gets a Stereotypical gangster fire spirit with an obsidian boomerang that lights on fire with the press of a button

I feel like quick shot and swashbuckler are the most unneccessary classes. In general it feels like they stretched the battle classes a little thin to make 10 .


Swashbucklers should've been a mode of Knight and quick shot should've been a mode of bazooker. ( different attack paths )

Kicking could've been an upgrade path for a brawler

Daggers could've been an upgrade path for ninjas.

Ball and chain could've been an upgrade path for smashers

Sentinel and sorcerer probably could've been combined too with a choice between a sorcerer staff or a weapon staff in their upgrade trees.


I get they needed to make 10 battle classes to match the number of elements, but I think they limited them selves a bit by only using " weapon" classes . I think they could've added a weaponless Beast class and Dragon class to make up the numbers .

They could've had stuff like, a biting attack, tail attack, baby summons etc.

I didn't list him bc he's technically not a Doom Raider, but there's a REASON I avoided using a smasher or a magic villain.

I'm not really sure which classes I'd get rid of. I think they all look solid, but maybe Swashbuckler and Smasher? I know you said one, but there's two classes I'd like.
First off, a shield class. We really need more shield characters. Another, which I think would be awesome, is an elementalist class. A class who ditches all class based skills, and uses only elemental based skills.

And yeah, I know. I'm back.
