Crash of the Titans Cycle 5: Howard the Duck

Black Duke

And here comes the duck! My Howard is a champion since last Duck Season so I´ve no doubt that he´ll beat this crash (I will respec him to 5/3/5 for more damage output). I´m curious if he faces the same under-covered Punisher like the last time.

Curious to see if the reward is a Legendary token or a Howard cover like last time.

Legendary token it is!

Was PunMAX no black covered last time too?

Looks like it. The special vault looks nice, hope I can get the green or blue cover from it... Otherwise I just have to wait for the next run of Webbed Wonder.

Black Duke

I had little trouble beating PunMAX with my level 273 Howard. Since the board was dry of any purple tiles, Frank was able to get me down to 6k health (even under-covered his blue-green-combo did reasonably damage). Finally I got enough purple AP to go invisible, stunned Punisher with my blue and he was downed three turns later.

I tried it with a level 70 (1/3/2) boosted Howard.

First go: got him down to 53 energy!
Second go: success.

Ledge got me a Riri. I may as well not have bothered.

smkspy

First try, level 131 1/2/4 Howard all color boosts.

Champ level peggy, would have preferred another Howard color instead, which rubs salt in the wound since I wasted 17k iso leveling up WS thinking his crash would be today.

granne

Tried twice, wiped twice.

My 0/1/2, level 90 Howard has been cursed by a couple of very green-heavy, blue/purple-starved boards.

Makes me glad we get 5 days to try. And that the vault has a single pull option.

TheWerebison

First try, 3/2/3 lvl 95 Howard. Purple poked him to death. He got 10 green AP near the end, but thankfully I had been saving up blue for exactly that reason.

HobieCat76

Took me 3 tries with my Level 94 1-2-1 Howard. Maybe it was just too early in the morning for me to strategize my moves better, but in my first two tries, I kept inadvertently feeding Punisher with green. (Example: I make a 4-match for purple that leads to a cascade. That cascade results in Punisher being set up for a green 5-match, which in his free turn right after makes another green match. Sigh.) I finally was able to keep green away from him in my third try (well, mostly, he still did get off one Merciless Charge on me), go invisible quickly, and whittle him down to zero.

EDIT: Added what level my Howard is at.

First go with lv 78 1/1/1 Howard, bosted +2 all and +2 b/p and mpq crashes as soon as I start. Well played mpq

alaeth

Took me four tries, and about 6k ISO to level him from 70 to 111 to give him a bit of survivability.

Stats:
Level 111 2/3/2
Boosted Purple/Blue +2 AP

Priority matches:
* Green (to deny them to Punisher, and power up your own)
* Purple (to go/stay invisible)
* Blue (stun)

Sluggo

I beat Howard's first Crash when he was 0/0/2 and level 80, so I didn't expect much trouble this time with him at 4/4/5 and level 111. Sure enough, collected purple, went invisible, and watched 4Pun's health melt away.

Reward: champ level, now 279.

DFiPL

First try, I got him down to 283 health with my 0/1/1, level 74 Duck.

2nd try, got shredded by a green-heavy, purple-dry board.

3rd time was the charm. Will open the token tonight with my other 4.

cubnad

1st try with no boosts for my 0/2/2 LVL 106 Howard. Finished the fight with 45 health so it was pretty close.

gave me taking her to 5/4/3.

Tatercat

First try with my lvl 111, 1/5/5 Howard. Got the purple early and was able to fire off two blue along the way. Oh I wish it was a Howard green cover instead of a LT, but I’ll take it (and hoard it).

shadowyoshi

Won this on 4th try with 0/3/0 lvl 106 Howard. Boost all 100%, b/p 50% and g/b 50%

Won on final turn as I had 12 HP remaining when it finished. This after a close call in a previous match where I had a cascade leave PunMax at 110 but also leave a match 4 on the board that finished me.

dswan3rd

1/1/1, LVL 78 - +50% b/p damage, +2 b/p, +2 all - it was death by 1,000 paper cuts but I got the win

LT was RiRi Blue...yay...or something...

bigsmooth

Second try with a 0/3/2 Lv 87 . Used +2 B/P and +50% G/B damage. On the first try the board was super light on purple and I got hit with a lot of match damage before I could go invisible.
I had no real issues on the second try since Howard can usually absorb one hit from Big Pun's green if he goes invisible soon enough.

My reward was a , making her 5/2/5.

rocks52

Bought a 10 pack from Howard's vault, gave me purple. Leveled him up to 94. Went in with +2 all/+2 bp/+100% all, went straight for purples to go invisible then denied green until he fell.

LT gave me bringing him to 4/2/1
