Here's the ones from what I have (wii version):

Gill Grunt: Anchors Away!
Hold A and release to fire 3 Giant Anchors- need Anchor Cannon Upgrade (the Soul Gem)

Ignitor: Blue Flame!
In Flame Form or after a Mega Slam, leave a trail of blue fire.

Slam Bam: Sleigh Me!
Hold Z to ride on a powerful ice sleigh- need Yeti Ice Shoe Slide upgrade (the like...5th upgrade of Slam Bam's before choosing a path)

Can't say how much damage they do since I haven't got the gold for them yet.

We need more thorough info about what each attack does. Skybagel, I have also tried Drill Sergeant, and the prognosis is excellent. His Wow Pow turns Megadozer into an absolute force of nature. The "uninvented lasers" do 10 per shot, and fire in the middle of the Auto Blaster stream. When fully upgraded, every 4th shot is a laser. Given how fast the Auto Blaster fires, I'm sure you can see where a keep-away build Auto Blaster Drill Sergeant is going to be a hit in PVP. Probably high tier placement, undoubtedly higher than before. As the game stands right now, he is better than Drobot.

As for Hex's power, a little extra info. The skull servant's damage is 280, criticals 420 (I don't know why it isn't 560), fires rapidly... I believe, if firing constantly, it could shoot 12 times, but instances like that are rare.

Working on more Wow Pows tonight, but these two are superb game-changers for both characters, and I expect more positive results tonight. S2 characters are really good.

Slam Bam's excellent Wow Pow does 30 damage a tick and hits about every half second when ramming. It also lasts much longer than the standard dash- down Blizzard Brawler, it upgrade it to the caliber of Glacier Yeti's extended slide.

^ Nice. That might actually be enough to make me a Slam Bam believer after all this time. They really went out of their way to make the Wow Pows significant upgrades.

Tech and Magic

Drill Sergeant:



Double Trouble:



Double Trouble: 'Triple Trouble!' 'This is a great Wow Pow for any Double Trouble invested in the Conjuror path. Conjurors need to to use their Eldritch Beam often to charge their Explosive Doubles, and to quickly spawn more Explosive Doubles. This makes the Beam more powerful and also spread it's effectiveness, allowing Double Trouble to quickly imbue his Doubles with spirit. Of course, it's also great for any Double Trouble using the Channeler path, the beam does more energy when it splits.

Fire and Water

Gill Grunt:



Gill Grunt: 'Anchor's Away!' 'This is a big upgrade for the Anchor Cannon. Anchor's Away charges faster and has a wider effect range than the regular cannon. This makes it a fantastic power to use against bosses and high-HP enemies.

Slam Bam:



Ignitor:

Ignitor = 10 (rapid tick).
Stump Smash = 30 (x10 scatter).
Sonic Boom = 60 (Super Baby strikes).

Tried out Gilly's attack finally. Seems like it might do different amounts for each enemy or something, or perhaps how far away you are from an enemy. It's pretty sweet- the giant Anchor is replaced by a giant Trident which shoots out in 3 different directions, as well as going through enemies.

Played mostly on the Lost City of Arkus level, and here's what I got:

32 points of damage towards those Zombie dudes as well as enemies that are far away.
84 points of damage towards medium distance enemies (about 2-3 pushblocks away)
and a whopping 102 points were dealt for enemies that are right at the tip of the trident!


I don't know where Tash got the numbers at but it might change depending on the level or area maybe?

Off that I'd guess it changes depending on your range, and gets weaker at close range and stronger at far range. Like, a Bow, or a Staff.

You get accurate readings for moves on L:1 Chompies in Heroic Challenges. Enemies with actual defensive stats and elements and such may resist or take extra damage from moves, but you won't find any such resistances on a L:1 Chompie. There are plenty of modifiers in this game, though, way more than before. Most appear to be random, and influenced by the same chance system that the Luck-O-Tron power multipliers boost. The base damage is the number that shows up most consistently, so take Power Luck-O-Trons off if you're looking for that number, because those can seriously confuse what you're looking for. Base damage is trickier to find than before, but there are ways.

I must say, Bash's Wow Pow is pretty awesome as well. When rolling, you hit the third attack button and he goes flying and slams down on the opponent. So that's 41 damage from the initial hit on the roll attack path, 30 damage if they get hit by the rock pillar, and 70 damage when he lands. Also, when you land, should you hit the pillar, it will get launched as if it was hit by a regular attack.

In other words, total ownage.
