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 honestly don't think Bad Juju will be Light.

Ask Aurora

I once spoke to a guy who works at Toys for bobs and asked if Dreamcatcher was one of the villain figures, he said he couldn't tell me, but it wasn't a no, so maybe

what classes the villains of life, water and light will be. we know water and life, but the only class that will fit to grave cloober is brawler, and thats belong to king pen (but i think grave cloober will be bazooker mabey) and the chompey mage might fit for knight but thats belongs to ambush, so until we will see gameplay or at least full toy form we will stay in the dark.

Hi, I'm new to this smilie

The way I see it, the only way we can get another Doom Raider now is if Bad JuJu is moved to the Light element and Dreamcatcher will take her place in the Air

I know what you're thinking, what class can DC be in if she has no hands, maybe some dream Bazookas hovering beside her head?

Holy smokes I called it, Mysticat resembles the frigging Cheshire cat from a Alice in Wonderland and he's in the magic element.... that is exactly how I pictured him minus the hood I thought he would have.

Chompy is in..... After Tae Kwon Krow getting the fire element placement I thought it was pretty obvious Chompy Mage was getting bumped to light element.

I had a good feeling Aurora was a girl and not a boy.... as soon as Yroc kept saying young eon I knew it was going to be a gal. This very well could be eons daughter.

This is shaping up to be the best skylanders thus far... Boom Bloom, Flarewolf, Pit Boss, Starcast and Mysticat all have my intrests peaked through the roof.

Where is my boy Robo-Hood at though and does anyone else think Air Strike resembles the blurry figure image.

Biggest disappointment GRAVE CLOBBER...... > < What Bone Head come up with that selection. So much running through my head right now : ]

* Edit Hahahaha never mind Chompy is life eh.

how knows!?

i just hope kaos will not be a skylander. i mean he was a nice villain and all but i showd that he cant change his ways, and besides he did good job in be evil but he need to give the spotlight to other villains as well.

So, does this mean Blaster Tron will come back as well?

#1685 omer1698 13:30:23 26/07/2016
only one more villain remain, now the big question is: who it will be? cus now we have three suprising element changing villains. (and as bonus, once we will find out we will focous a little bit more on the originels)

i dont know how will be the next dark but it will defendliy be a female

am i the only one that think that this air strike is a spider?
