    If you don't like Howard, feel free to skip his events. There are plenty of players who do enjoy him and appreciate the chance to earn more covers for him.

    Surprised its Howard today on Crash as I thought it was Winter Soldier. Had a go on the vault won a Blue which means im now fully covered in Howard. Which was nice. Needless to say busted purple and whittled him down over time with a few occasional kicks to the nethers here and there.

    Apparently you can't use Duck Duck Loose when Howard is already invisible. Was it always like that?

    No, I do Believe I was able to stack it during the last run of Fowl Play.

    Yeah, I was surprised by that too, but thought I was misremembering.

    Is there any way to earn the tokens for the Howard vault, or do we have to spend HP on it?

    You certainly may stack his purple power. That's the only way I could win this Crash with my 0/1/3 lvl 82 Howard. icon_e_wink.gif

    Wouldn't let me stack it either, was down to one purple tile just wilting away at puns heath 200 points per move.

    If he places 5 (or 4) invisibility tiles, I believe the power requires that 5 purple tiles are available to changed.
    So if there are only 4 basic purples on the board (ones that are not invisibility tiles yet), if Howard's power places 5, it must wait until 5 are 'available'.
    Anyway, back to the topic!

    That's definitely a possible explanation.

    I was able to stack it, but mine only places 3 and there were 3 available when I fired it the second time. I'm betting this is the correct explanation.

    It's a [devs aware] bug. Apparently. So that'll get fixed by Apr 1 2018, I guess. Good thing I managed to beat the crash anyways.

    Ugh a 7 day event featuring agent venom.

    Gross.

    We'll get two covers, but I don't even want to roster him. and we get less CP. icon_e_sad.gif

    So it looks like the placement rewards for Hulk are Medusa redflag.png and yellowflag.png , which means that the progression reward for the next event would be a Medusa purpleflag.png ?

    IRL nerfs and the nature of a 7 day event means I'm already throwing in the towel on anything better than T100 placement, but my 3/3/5 Medusa wouldn't mind a different cover coming up on progression! oh well, keep opening those LTs for me..... icon_rolleyes.gif
