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.

V That means that she can only be air or magic, and if Pain-Yatta is magic, she is confirmed to be air.

The blog leak showed only classes. We did only know Hood Sickle was a Sentinel, just as we know Bad Juju is a Swashbuckler. However, she can't be light, because so is Aurora.

@WreckinBall you might be right. I think Bad Juju is a swashbuckler too.

But nothing conformed Bad Juju as an Air villain, same with Hood Sickle. The only time we knew Hood Sickle was from the Dark Element was when his figure was revealed, so far we only know Bab Juju is a Washbuckler, that's all we have.

We thought Hood Sickle was another Undead villain until the figure reveal.

you know so far this leck with bad juju and hood sickle didnt made Mistakes so far. so most likely bad juju will be the air villain, i mean come on there are limits for the crazy element switch with villains.

Oh yeah, it was listed when Bad Juju was revealed, wasn't it? Well that settles that then

I'm having trouble finding where it said she was a washbuckler, can someone help me find it?

I DID say I could be wrong, it was just an idea.

Also, I think the villains actually have to have those weapons to show what they are. I mean, Golden Queen has her staff, Crankcase has his guns, Wolfgang has his bow-guitar, Pain-yatta will have his candy-axe, Hood Sickle has his doube-ended blade thing.

Chompy Mage only has his staff and puppet, he could be a Brawler. As for Grave Clobber, look at the way he's standing, can't u imagine him holding a Bazooka? This could mean whoever's left could be a Knight, that is, if Bad Juju isn't.

But like I said, I could be wrong, it's just a thought

And yeah, I am aware I spelt Krankcase wrong :/ lol
