Story

The story of Skylanders Imaginators takes place long ago when the Ancients used a mysterious power known as "Mind Magic" to create everything in Skylands. With it, they conjured into existence anything that they could imagine! However, they soon learned that in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous, and so they sealed it away so that it could never be misused. After discovering this ancient secret, Kaos has unleashed the power of "Mind Magic" into Skylands once again - and he is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders, the likes of which have never been seen! Now it's up to Portal Masters to create Skylanders Imaginators from their own imagination and stop Kaos and his evil Doomlanders before it is too late. And to help train them, Eon is sending the greatest mystic warriors of all time - the Senseis!

Characters

For new playable characters there are 20 brand new Skylander Senseis as well as 11 former villains. Along with their element each Sensei will also have a Battle Class from a list of ten: Smasher, Knight, Ninja, Bazooker, Quickshot, Sorcerer, Brawler, Sentinel, Swashbuckler, and Bowslinger.

The first set of characters to be revealed included King Pen, Golden Queen, and Tri-Tip. Here is a table containing all of the new Skylanders, click the + to see all the known variants:

Senseis

"Sensei" is the collective name for the new set of Skylanders (the villains also function as Senseis), their Battle Class determines the types of attacks and weapons they use as well as which abilities they unlock for your Imaginators. They all have a new type of super attack called Sky-Chi that slowly fills up as you defeat enemies until it reaches a point where you can unleash it on your unsuspecting foes (quite similar to the ability Trap Masters had in the 3DS version of Trap Team).

Owning a Sensei of a particular battle class will unlock a Secret Technique for your Imaginators of the same class. As well as that they will each unlock an item and a weapon for use in customisation. Senseis will also be able to access areas known as "Sensei Elemental Realms".

Creation Crystal

Included in the Starter Pack is a Fire Creation Crystal, this allows you to create and store your very own custom Fire element Skylander. To create a Skylander of a different element you'll need to purchase a Creation Crystal of that element.

Be aware that once you select a Battle Class you can not change it on that Creation Crystal ever again. So choose carefully!

Starter Pack

In the Starter Pack you get the Water Sensei Master King Pen, the Earth Villain Golden Queen, and a Fire Creation Crystal. The portal included is identical to that of the Swap Force portal (some regions instead have a modified SuperChargers Portal without a trap slot).

There is also once again a Dark Edition of the Starter Pack, it contains three Dark variant Skylanders (King Pen, Golden Queen, and Wolfgang) and three standard Creation Crystals (Fire, Life, and Dark). The pack also comes with a Gold Imaginite Mystery Chest that unlocks some gear for your Imaginators.

And there is a "Crash Edition" that is only available on PlayStation 3 and 4, it has the same contents as the regular Starter Pack plus the Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex toys. The characters will be available in a separately sold Adventure Pack at a later date.

Platforms

The game is only appearing on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the Wii U. That means no Wii, 3DS, or Tablet versions this year.

I have a feeling that we might not get luminous as a sensi....he was just a villan in the expansion pack and it seems like we're only going to get trap team Villans from the main story....plus him and nightshade were totally forgotten in Superchargers.

I'm just gonna toss this out there I don't think Chef Pepper Jack is going to be switched to the life element we've already gotten three doom raiders that are still their original element Golden Queen earth, Wolfgang undead, Dr Krankcase tech to me it seems like their only switching the elements of non doom raider villains (except pain-yatta and bad juju)

Chill Bill for Light, Pepper Jack in Life and Smoke Scream

Salty about two Fire Elements? You should be.

Right now, Luminous and Eye Five seem like the most logical choices. But with this new element assigning, it's really anyone's game.

V We don't know if any of them are even going to appear. I wouldn't be surprised if even Grinnade became the Light villain.

VVV Luminous is very likely actually.

In fact, if possible overwrite your Imaginator, including replacing the battle class

It baffles me that Tae Kwon Crow made it over Chef Pepper Jack but maybe just maybe he makes it in under the Life class...he is a Jalapeno after all but then Chompy Mage gets left out unless they switch him to light... This is all to unorthodox for me lol.

I don't think Crash being brawler means there can't be another life brawler, they have already made many illogical decisions in this game like Tae Kwon Crow and Hood Sicle (just like Trap Team was a mess), so the additional guest star was propably made late in development and was just thrown in most fitting element and battle class. So life could be bazooker or brawler, water knight or bazooker and light any of those three.

Personally I'm hoping:
Chompy Mage for life, he was on cover of Trap Team so he is very likely
Chill Bill for water, he was in Battlecast so he could return
Luminous or Spellslamzer, but they are both unlikely.

@Luminous35 True... I was probably just putting too much hope on Cuckoo Clocker...

@Luminous35 I feel like Cross Crow should be water/knight because he already has a knight theme, but the knight Skylanders have swords... so probably not possible... it's most likely Gulper...

V Couldn't you reset the character like we could with the normal characters? Or ould that just reset the level and looks?
