STEALTH ELF (Life) (Pook Blade Saint)
Pros: Highest DPS in game. Attacks have fast activation time, high priority (will usually apply before or in place of enemy moves occuring at same time), high interrupt chance (anything that does not respond instantly will usually not finish). S.E. has high mobility with Ninja Flip. S.E. has useful stealth move that is quite effective in PvP when used by a skill player. S.E. slowly regenerates health over time.
Cons: No ranged attacks.
Comments: Stealth Elf, Drobot, and Cynder exist as a broken unholy trinity of power in Versus mode. A skilled player with S.E. should honestly rarely lose, if ever. The only real possible threat is a well-played Cynder. In campaign mode, the only thing which can ever potentially annihilate her would be the center-star summon of Kaos's Fire Spell... she is otherwise too powerful and maneuverable to be killed by anything else.
Tactics: S.E., unlike many Skylanders, has three useful moves. Her basic attack does great damage speedily with the assest above. The Stealth mode lets you escape from otherwise lethal attacks and surprise your enemy. The Ninja Flip provides great mobility as well as decent damage.
Use mobility to get in close, deal out hellacious damage. If foe has some sort of apparent counter, use hit-and-run tactics to deal damage then regenerate health when away from opponent. Prioritize stealing food, elixir, and shield powerups. Don't fret if enemy gets Rocket Hat, he can't hit you anyway (prioritize only if you need the ranged attack). Allow opponent to get Comet... false sense of power will lure him into your melee range for his impending slaughter. LEARN how to use her stealth ability! In PvP it will not show the eyes, so you have to get a 'feel' for where you are. Proper use of this will make you unstoppable to almost anyone except a well-played Cynder.
Path Choice Comments: Scarecrow path is for PvE, and even there it is lackluster. In PvP it's useless, in PvE you could be doing more direct damage. Pook Blade Saint also makes you into a great boss killer. It's even easy to solo Kaos with her, and she comes at the top of such speed runs.
If the Rock-Paper-Scissors of the Broken Tier, Stealth Elf is the freaking ROCK, despite wielding blades. Smashes almost everything due to brute power. Cynder is the paper that wraps around her neck and slowly strangles her to death.
Version Differnces: Her Ninja Flip has MUCH reduced range in the XBox 360 version and rather reduced in the Wii version. Due to Drobot's interruptible slower flight ability in Wii, he has even less odds of survival than the PS3 version. Due to Cynder's slowing ghost effect actually WORKING on the Wii version, she exists as a much harder counter. Due to Eruptor's vastly increased Volcano AoE damage, he can serve as a way to wreck her day if you are unprepared.

There seem to be a lot of unfortunate differences between platforms on all of these characters. Without having more data to throw out there, all I can say at the moment is that on the Wii Stealth Elf has almost no chance of beating Double Trouble.

I just don't think her DPS is as good on the Wii as it sounds like it is on the PS3. She's still solid on the Wii, but I would never accuse her of having the highest DPS in the game.

Those differences must be rather extreme, yes. There are a few others which might, in specific situations, deal more damage than Stealth Elf, but it's usually by dint of some combo or requires trickiness. Double Trouble, for instance, with his three-round burst Magic Bomb. If he gets an enemy cornered where there's enough room to push them back and they can't move to the side, yeah, he'll curbstomp them for about 195 damage every couple of seconds. Trigger Happy's Yamato blast followed by a hail of coins might do more, if you're ignoring the charge time. But in a straight-up 'rock out with pure damage starting from GO!' she still wins in almost every situation. D.T. can come close, but she interrupts his beam, doesn't care about his bomb dudes, can flip twice and be away from his beam, and generally will be pushed back by the first of the magic bombs so as to be outside the range of the others. She can usually dash in and interrupt his normal cast, so, yeah.
