Which path should I choose for spy?

Web Spinner (top) and Electro Tech (bottom).

Web Spinner and Fire Tech.

I went for the Shock Spy path (because the other seems too short ranged) and the Fire Tech path (tried both this one is the better of the two)

New Swapper Path Guides are up and running!

Yeah, this is what I went with too. I tried both bottoms. I think Electro Tech has the better attack, but the charge time is too long for my tastes. Fire Tech gets the damage out quicker.

I'm a big fan of your videos wdrumz. Thanks for making those. I'd love to see somebody make a Shadow Skater Roller Brawl video and show off the power of Bullrush spam (hint, hint). No videos on YouTube of that specific playstyle with that specific path. It's so powerful. I'm surprised it isn't all over the place. Hands down the most powerful character + path + strat combo I've seen in the game yet.

Yeah I know what you mean. She is a monster on that path. Just divebomb the enemies and deal damage quickly. Its also a very good charge attack for speed. Shes one of my strongest Skylanders.

Which paths for Stink Bomb. I took the acorn and the spike path but they feel so "weak"

Both bottom paths for Stink Bomb are horrible but I went for the double stink cloud path, I also tried both top paths and didn't like the acorn path.

WHAT'S good for

Definitely. The Web Spinner is one of the best attacks to use against smaller enemies (Cyclops, Greebles), and it's very rapid.


The Electro Tech is awesome. Charge up a wave, shoot it, climb up, use the Omega Sky Laser, and then drop down to finish the enemy off. It's a good way to kill Geargolemns fast.

When I tried "The Art of Skunk-Fu", I thought it was kinda useful but boring at the same time. Just throwing four big shurikens in different directions as small ones appear swirling around you made me yawn a bit. So I went with "The Art of Acorns" even though some found it to be weak. But I found ways to making it my favorite top path. First, I use turn invisible, sneak off as far away as from a group of small enemies as possible, use the Acorn attack on all of them. Having Stink Bomb pick that path makes him feel that he has learned a new attack rather than defense with small shurikens. But that's just a matter of opinion. As for "Skunk Cloud Controller", I like that more than "Sneaky Tricks".

I agree I have him and all he does for me is open sneak zones.

New Wave 3 Swapper paths other path guides are up! These should help everyone

Thanks for acknowledging that you are one other person who has discovered the power of Roller Brawl Bullrush spam. Feels like not enough people have and I think that's a real shame.

For Stink Bomb, personally, I went with The Art of Skunk Fu (shuriken shield, top) path for the top and the Sneaky Tricks (caltrops, bottom) for the bottom. I actually tried all paths for him because my first inclination was the opposite for both halves. I wish the acorn attack was better, but it has mediocre damage and a very, very long charge time. Having two stink clouds out sounded good, but the clouds don't really last long enough to make good use of two at a time, imo.

I'm a fan of synergy and The Art of Skunk Fu has some good synergy with Sneaky Tricks. Charging the Sweeping Skunk Fu attack makes him walk at just the right slow speed to lay the caltrops. Sweeping Skunk Fu is also the attack that gives you the shield with The Art of Skunk Fu. It works pretty well.

My 2 bits. Hope this helps.

Edit: I'll also add that there is a loose synergy between The Art of Acorns and Skunk Cloud Controller. You can lay two clouds up by some enemies, sneak away a good distance, then pop out of stealth charging an acorn and shoot it at the bunch you left up by the clouds. I guess it really depends on which playstyle you like more, but I would pair either The Art of Skunk Fu with Sneaky Tricks or The Art of Acorns with Skunk Cloud Controller.
