Reviews of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Stealth Elf

Customer Ratings:

She was one of the first non-starter figures I'd gotten, and I'm glad I made the choice. She starts off as a fast up-close fighter with fast striking abilities, with a secondary ability that acts part ways like stealth and part ways like deception with scarecrow dopplegangers (basically, she's a ninja elf).

Later on, you can either upgrade her to be either a better melee fighter (with nasty combo moves, better weapons, and floating blades), or make her scarecrows (typically a passive ability) more deadly (SPINNING SAW BLADES!).

She's very good as a playable character, overall. Only weakness is her defense (But do you expect a stealth character to have great defense? Really?).

The Stealth Elf falls under the Life element. Her main attack is a close range almost melee like attack with her blades. The attack is quick but the drawback is how close to the enemies you have to be in order to use it. Her secondary attack is to create a "decoy" of herself. She projects herself conintuing in the path she was moving prior to activating the move. The player can see where she actually is by following the two glowing dots on the screen which are her eyes. So far all enemies I have encountered have fallen for the decoy. Using this move and following it by striking an enemy results in a "combo" move.

Best Deals for Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Stealth Elf

I am incredibly glad i got this figure when i did and for a little less than the 7.99 it is supposed to cost. Stealth Elf is now selling for nearly 30 bucks online, which is crazy. The little girl this was a gift for loved it and it is her favorite character to use. This is a fine product but beware online price gouging.

Honest reviews on Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Stealth Elf

I think there's a good reason why Stealth Elf is one of the more popular Skylanders. It's because she's so overpowered, that you could just press the X button in a pattern as you walk through the whole level, and you'd probably make it through without taking any damage. I'm not joking eitherStealth Elf is one of the most broken characters I've ever seen in my nearly 25 years of playing games. Orlandu from Final Fantasy Tactics, Fawkes from Fallout 3, Coo from Kirby's Dreamland 2? Yeah, she's right up there with them.

Stealth Elf's two basic attacks are pretty simple at first. Holding the square button turns her invisible (well, you can see her glowing eyes), allowing her to run past enemies undetected. The X button makes her slash about with her daggers, and you can keep hitting the enemy with this attack to create combos. The upgrade paths for both powers are good, but it's the dagger upgrades that make Ms. Elf an unstoppable force. On top of being able to power up the power of the dagger attacks, you can get ghost daggers that float above Stealth Elf at all times, attacking enemies whenever you do, allowing for even more damage. Simply put...the bad guys aren't going to have a chance to touch you, because by the time their attack finally comes out, they'll be dead. As if the ghost daggers weren't enough, an upgrade for this path gives her two more moves for combos. Press X twice and then hold the square button to shoot poison mist, or hold the circle button to do a crazy attack that results in Stealth Elf flying all over the place (within a small area), scoring multiple hits. The circle button on its own, once you get the power, does a jumping spin attack, useful for getting out of corners in the rare chance that this happens.

If you choose to upgrade the invisibility power, it just ups the strength of her scarecrowsdecoys that are deployed while you make your escape. These are useful in their own right, but kinda useless if you play against another person in the Battle Mode, and it pales to the dagger upgrades.

But you know what? On top of dealing insane damage, Stealth Elf also gets probably the single best Soul Gem power: healing. Yep, Stealth Elf will recover 5 hit points every couple seconds, making it pretty dang hard for her to be killed...more-so. The only downside to this is that you'll constantly be hearing a stupid sound effect when the +5 icon appears above her, but it's a small price to pay.

If you're having trouble with a level or boss in the game, or want to get that All For One trophy/achievement, Stealth Elf will take care of everything for you.

Stealth Elf was the first non-starter character I purchased and she's still one of my favorites. She's quick and once you get the hang of using her stealth and scarecrows you can really deal some damage. All of her attacks are close range so be aware of that and if you aren't use to using her you'll take some damage. She's my favorite Life character so far. Not to mention she's one of the more awesome looking characters as well.
