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.

thats what i'm trying to tell you all this time, that there will be no eleventh villain, mabey the reason for all of this is that i dont know... someone made a type o when they reveld the game. i dony know but there will only 10 villains that changed there ways.

Yeah, I heard in an interview that there were only 10 villains, it was this site where I first heard of the 11th

Guys, there may be no eleventh villain. On the official website it says there are 31 characters, which could mean there are ten villains and 21 skylanders. Crash Bandicoot is the 31st character, not another villain, because there are four life element characters, they would never out balance the light and the dark element characters. Another theory could be that there is an eleventh villain and that it will be light as well. The first seems more obvious!

Would Brawleous for Light really be the weirdest thing? I mean, we have Grave Clobbwr for Water :/

Btw, I think Chompy Magic is a Knight

Mage, Chompy Mage lol

V I can make the out the bottom of his staff in the corner so unless his staff has a bazooka glued on the top of if now then he can't be bazooker

make out*

it not if* lol

#1973 ToonLink04 00:46:20 30/07/2016
maybe his puppet is a bazooka

How the Chompy-Mage looks at his puppet makes me think he'll be a Brawler, and he'll attack by having it bite enemies, and then using his staff for everything else.

So if villains are all from different elements and different battle classes, and if I want to buy the least amount of characters in order to unlock all areas of the game, I must buy 11 senseis (King Pen is in the starter pack) AND 10 imaginators? In last games I have bought (with my brother) 20, 16, 16, 18 and 14 characters (not including other things like vehicles), so now will be a new record on must-buy playable characters of 22! (to make it even)

Spyro and Cynder were not "made for each other", this isn't Legend of Spyro. The series producer answered a few tweets mooonths ago and one was that Cynder was going to have a story arc in Season 2, but they didn't have time for her in Season 1. The tweets were long deleted because he was giving away too much unfortunately.
