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 love the new characters but creating my own Skylanders that is amazing

The only downside is that you can't make a toy form but that is understandable why they can't do that.

#2382 Bloxz 15:36:02 08/08/2016
yeah i will get the skylanders that i want from each battle class if elemental gates are not in the game or if you do not need a sensei skylander to open them just the element i will be very happy

the reason i only want 10 is because $150 is alot of money in itself

#2381 Matt-S 15:21:39 08/08/2016
Also, I hope there a parts in the game that'll let me make a character of garbage holding a pitchfork, I shall call him...Trash Spork

Bloxz: Or, you know, you could get as many as u wanted

hmm, a bit over-decorated, but no a bad idea. Maybe an imanginator can have one

#2378 chunkeymonkey 15:02:49 08/08/2016
does anyone else think that knights should have shields too?
avatar
#2377 omer1698 14:53:30 08/08/2016
yeah but i hope that it will not be an axe, i kinda hope for a hammer, i mean how you can make an all smashing class without a hammer?
avatar
#2376 Matt-S 14:41:14 08/08/2016
most likely Pain-yatta, the candy axe thing tells us that, the smashers are known for axes. I know Tri-Tip has a mace, but its similar to an axe
avatar
#2375 omer1698 14:34:06 08/08/2016
but the only missing sensei in smasher class is the villain, all places occuped by tri tip, chopscotch and porobobly pain yatta.
avatar
#2374 Bloxz 14:27:39 08/08/2016
the reason i put the unknown tech in smasher is because i want mysticat to be my magic element sensei

im trying to get 10 snseis 1 from each element and battle class

*senseis

Bloxz: I agree with some of your prodictions, but I think Pain-yatta will be a smasher

brawler: King pen,boom bloom,air strike, and crash bandicoot
sorcerer: Golden queen,unknown magic,and pit boss
smasher: tritip,chopscotch,unknown tech(no picture seen)
bowslinger: wolfgang,green archer,yeti archer(white) (I know its not archer)
quickshot: Dr.krankase,Mysticat,unkown water

knight: ambush,wildstorm,grave clobber
ninja: taekwoncrow,starcast,eye five
bazooker: flarewolf,pain yatta,chompy mage
swashbuckler: bad juju,aurora,unknown tech(picture seen)

U agree?

i think pain yatta will be a character but the candy axe referance is his attack in trap team and instead he hold a candy bazooka

good job dark on making kaos look like he fit in
