    Hi, how often do we have duck season (or Devil Dinosaur)?

    I was little disappointed that the duck season does not have it's own story line.

    Webbed Wonder does have it's own story line. It's Spidey and Howard looking for Aunt May.

    Devil Dino only gets events during the anniversary, so once a year.

    So far they seem to have run Webbed Wonder with about 5 month intervals I Think. The first run was in April, the second in September, and now February. So possibly a fourth run in July sometime?

    Can we see which color we´ll get before the missions starts or are we going to take potluck with RNG?

    While it is nice that they are giving out a 4* for less than T10, he is a special gimmick character that is not regularly in the tokens, was it really necessary to also treat the chance of getting his covers out of the Venom Bomb tokens as if he was also a new character too? For a character that isn't available for most of the year, surely you could have eased things up a bit and given a much higher chance than the pitiful 0.1% that his covers have in those tokens?

    If they are treating it like a new character, it should be the tokens from his pvp that have a higher rate.

    My point was that just increasing his availability slightly in the pve placements is an insufficient move for them to be making with a character that is so rarely available, when him or devil dino show up the devs should be encouraging people to keep these characters in their roster by giving them out at a high rate, they generally manage to do that with Dino but for some reason have decided against it with Howard.

    Maybe it's because Howard is actually usable.
    Mainly because of his Invisibility and Stun, I'd use Howard over these 4 Stars:
    - Carnage = MASSIVE self damage = terrible
    - Devil Dinosaur =joke character, others do what he does WAY better
    - Drax = Purple is brutal with ends the turn (and he himself can't even use it!), other powers hard to use correctly
    - Mr. Fantastic = Worst 4 star character in the game
    - Punisher - Max = HATE team stun
    - Ironheart = All around awful, rivaling Mr. Fan for worst 4 Star
    - Sam Wilson -Captain Falcon = Lone damage power too expensive
    - Spider-Gwen = Her yellow is the worst power in the entire game, lone damage power too expensive
    - Venom - Agent Venom = Self AP drain AND self damage = terrible
    - Wasp = Self AP drain = terrible, high requirements to activate a fairly weak Blue passive

    Players keep asking for "colorless"....this is not colorless. This is another chance for RNG to mess you up. If you are 3/3/5 if the color was set and you didn't need it, you wouldn't feel it necessary to go for it. Now you might go for it, and get more annoyed than You ever would have.

    Any chance of getting true "colorless" covers implemented? [Soon, asks my 1/5/0 GG with another purple coming up quickly?]

    Howard vs. PunMax was an awesome "puzzle" clash. Please run it again! You can add a second Clash node like you did before!

    Please don't be purple, please don't be purple, please don't be purple is what ill be murmuring for at least 3 days. Perhaps only for about 10 mins actually lets not get carried away

    At least the Howard cover in progression for Webbed Wonder is Blue. Agreed that Purple is clearly his "Common" cover.
    In my case, after Venom Bomb is over, mine will have 5 Purple, and will be 3 1 5. So any other Purples I'll get during the rest of the Howard related events will most likely be wasted.
    Hopefully I can manage to find a combination of 3 more Green & Blue covers from here on out (not counting the Webbed Wonder progression cover), or at the very least not another Purple.

    The Webbed Wonder vault should be spitting out Howard covers like the Anniversary vault did with Dino.

    They did when Howard was first released in April, but not during the rerun in August. Wouldn't expect one this time.

    My Webbed Wonder vault has a single Purple Howard cover...

    Yes, it's a standard PvE vault.

    It's quite apt that during Webbed Wonder they're proving yet again that they really are as tight as a duck's bum.
