I have a couple questions:

1. Do accolades increase the amount of experience you receive for defeating enemies?

2. Do you receive stat increases for having multiples of the same element? (Like 2 or 3 magic Skylanders.)

No and no.

I'm pretty sure the Accolades DO increase the amount of experience you receive. I currently have all of my Skylanders scanned and I get a 200% EXP increase.

If you have multiples of the same element, it increases their elemental power only. That means in areas where Eon says "Skylanders of the Magic/Tech/Undead/Water/Air/Life/Earth/Fire Element are stronger in this zone", they're even stronger still.

Hope that helps!

I was not aware of that!

rly? I knew that for a while also I heard there are also 4 heroic challenges that increase your elemental power

can anybody tell me what each of the heroic challenges gives you? I'm particularly interested in the ones that give you more speed. Thanks for your help

Don't the heroic challenges apply to the specific Skylander that unlocks them?

Each heroic challenge is only unlocked when you "own" the figure in your game, so you won't have access to all 32 challenges unless you own all 32 original Skylanders.

But if you do, then EACH of your Skylanders can do ALL of the heroic challenges to get the entire set of upgrades.

I've got 22 Skylanders, and I've done all 4 speed challenges available to me for each character. Working on elemental power next. It takes a while.

Himeward Drobot's Challenge gives you Speed not armor. So its a total of 48 speed and 30 armor. The guidebook has a misprint that says armor but the game says SPEED.

Thanks everybody for the info!

Interesting. Thanks for the correction. I got my info straight from a website (and they probably got it from the guide). I'll make the change above so that it is correct.

But these cannot go over what the characters max stats are though, right?

What "max stats" would those be?

To the best of my knowledge, each character can get the full benefit of each heroic challenge they complete without limitation.
