    Hi.
    Question:
    Will Devil Dinosaur ever be offered again for the random cover purchases?
    Still hoping to get a red cover, but I haven't seen DD in the "drop rates" of any offer in awhile.

    Thanks for any help.
    The developers have said that they intend to keep him as a special, limited release character at least for the time being. Personally, I doubt we'll see that change any time in the next several months. You will, however, get three in daily rewards on days 365-367 -- one of each color.

    It's nice that we are getting three each day at the year mark, but being that this will be the only ones some of us new players will see until who knows when, it just becomes a wasted roster slot. Which sucks because I like the character and idea, just won't have an opportunity to use him...

    Stupid question maybe... My new max devil Dino is 3/5/5 and I was expecting him to tank green for my 5/5/3 xforce.
    I've tried them on both sides and xforce tanked it both times.
    Is the 3 green taking priority to break the tie over position?

    No, it's not cover dependent. Since they both have green as their strongest color, whichever is a higher level will tank green. If they are the same level, then their position determines who tanks (center, left, right, in that order).

    4* Thor made Devil Dino's crazy HP insignificant, but with this nerf is he back in the game? I have his covers maxed, but never bothered to level him knowing that he was nothing more than a nuisance in the face of 4* Thor and it would only get worse as more people obtained her. I still need a 3rd 4*, is he viable now? I'm leaning yes even if just for defensive measures, but want to hear diverse opinions before dumping the ISO.

    Thoughts?

    He's essentially a less dangerous but more tanky Hulk. I'd say that he definitely got better in the post-4hor-nerf meta, but because his strong color is green, X-Forces will eat him for lunch.

    And given how hulk's danger is pretty close to nil, usually being actively harmful to the casting of actually good red and green powers....

    When comparing Dino to Hulk, I think there is one thing to note: you can manage Hulk, and be careful not to trigger any of his abilities. When I go into a battle with Dino, I fully expect to get bitten an average of twice (5k damage) because his abilities are insanely cheap and he has the most HP in the game. This was pre nerf 4* Thor to boot. Dino also has his purple which is a wild card that can mess everything up, and the AI will only use the purple once per turn which is great.

    Again, hulk is only his black which is completely managed by the attacking player and they should take 0 damage. The only way you can go wrong with Hulk is bad planning, or extremely bad luck. How do you stop a character from getting 6 red or 6 green with almost 20k hp? You can't. I feel this deterrent is the reason to use him, and with 4* Thor gone to make his HP trivial, he will take serious thought before engaging.

    I really think in a post-nerf 4hor era, and until other power tile generator are out DevilD is a good deterrent in PvP. 20.000hps is A LOT and when you are trying to shield-hop around 900 score time is essential. It is not that you are going to be bitten at least twice it is that you need some precious minutes to down him.

    And Trisul, maybe his strongest color is green, but if you have a fetured char at max level it doesn't care which is DevilD strongest color, the featured char will have the strongest color of the team.

    Right now we still don't know for sure how good is going to be 4hor, so it is still difficult to recommend anything, but probably 4hor is going to be replaced for IF, Fury and maybe DevilD for now until XForce is still king.

    Merged viability topic to here. Please keep character discussion to their topic.
    Above aside, PX SL DD. Full boost. Match 1 yellow and use Star Lords ability to lower DD's swap ability to 1AP and dance your opponent's health away.

    That team is definitely a phone-smasher.

    Or a PX with Kamala team, where abilities of 7/7/3 trigger both passives.

    I started playing MPQ again around the anniversary. I won 4 Devil Dinos.. purple! He was okay when I first won him cause he had high life and I was still in the 2* transition. I haven't sold him because I knew he was coming up as Daily Rewards. Now I'm on day 204, by the time he finally comes on day 365-367 he'll still be useless now that I've been gaining more 3*s. I also cannot depend on him to return for the next anniversary. At this point, either bring him back into rotation (vault IW!) or allow us to sell him for HP or higher ISO than usual. icon_devildino.png

    I think this is the right place to demand this:

    I want cuttlefish! Now!
    pretty sure dino will be back on the next anniversary

    Devil Dino will never ever eva eva be in the rotation. He is the absolute 100% anniversary badge roster spot.

    He will probably be back out for the Anniversary party, but don't expect him to be featured or in tokens outside that.

    Here's hoping he comes back this anniversary.

    Yeah, if he came back for the anniversary, that would be fine. Although if he doesn't, I'm probably launching him. At 2/2/5, not terribly useful.

    I would prefer Howard the Duck or equally weird character
    But if he is back i hope its a pve with top 5 for purple, pretty sure a lot of ppl has that cover already
    But knowing Demiurge i wouldnt be surprised if its both alliance and top 100 lol, hell might even be top 50 alone lol
