    Mostly they were special characters added at anniversary events.  Having them on your roster is like a trophy showing you were there.  None of them are strong characters, so you're not missing anything by not having them.  (Here come the Howard supporters to tell me I'm wrong.)

    Cant se the point of wasting a roster spot for a one covered limited characters when you aint get any benefits of having them. Especially when you cant get them in tokens or set them as bonus characters.

    The same point as variant covers in comics.

    Limited = "special" = $$$$$

    Then there should be a value of having them. Wich its not. If i could trade them or sell them then i get it.

    Howard is quite a bit of fun to use and I'm not even *quack* around. :D

    Yeah, they're not very good (Bag-man in particular is just terrible), but they're fun. Nothing like having a dinosaur on your side, or busting out some good ol' Quack-Fu to brighten up your day :)

    Tomorrow and Thursday I get a Devil Dino in my daily rewards. That will bring him up to level 282. I get to use him once every blue moon in that last node of The Hunt.  Yeah, Howard is decent, not great, and the others are terrible, but I still have them all on my roster. Why?  Reasons.

    There is value to them, personal value. Likewise, you can sell them once you get them, and for the 4 stars build them with cp if you chose.

    I remember selling off my 3 year  one anni rewards for devil dino. Needed the roster space for other characters at the time. That next game anniversery events I ended up with 9 dino covers. 

    I agree though, they should able to be listed as BHs. It's a needless restriction considering you can buy your way to max covering them.if you so choose.

    You're wrong about Howard! He was added on April Fool's Day!

    If you collect enough bag man covers, you will get some 3* spider-man covers as champion rewards.  Surely that's worth it?

    You can get legendary tokens from lots of places though.  It's the spider-man covers that set Bag-Man apart.

    Funny enough, I use to roll in bag man covers before rostering him. Then when I finally add him, they just stop dropping. Love that gameplay mechanic lol.

    because they're cool.
    anyone else have sticky tiles or snarky moves? 
    nobody can vogue like DevilDino. that's why she's so fierce
    HtD is an MCU 4* All-star! he's got great skills: tile remover,invisibility,stun. Go watch the movie(s) already.
    you want a real puzzle? add yelena to a team. I play her every day for the 1*DPD.

    For 20HP, you can raise a power level for any 3*, as long as you already have at least one of that colour. If you don't have any, or it's champed, tho, no, you can't "buy" those covers.

    1) CP, not HP.
    2) Bagman isn't a 3*, so he cannae do that!

    Right on both counts. Staying up until 2AM is not good for my brain. Thanks for catching those.

    I used to roll in them too, then I finally rostered him, champed him, and now for my effort..... Only 1 more cover, he's been sitting at 95 for months..........
