    It's definitely a new player only offer.  Here's the message I got when I tried the link:

    Thanks for participating in the Greenlit April Campaign special offer, but this offer is for new players only

    Is the cover random? Because the very thing a new player needs would be a Court Death to help kill off their team of 1*. They might think this game doesn't like them...
    That would actually be hilarious. Imagine the pain of health packs!

    They could equip one of those new nifty Supports to boost their 1* health levels, that'll help! Oh no...wait...

    Just imagine trying to do 6 clears of a PVE event where two of your team get downed every fight. Nightmare.

    My son wanted to give MPQ a try, so we tried this link and it worked. He got a green 3* Thanos. That also unlocked Supports and the Beginner Pack offer, so he's off to a good start. I have advised him not to level any onestar characters at the moment since Thanos alone should be able to match damage his way through most of the prologue.
    Getting the Beginner Pack offer already might be a tad early, but we weren't going to buy it anyway.
    I am actually curious about what kind of experience having a one cover 3* Thanos provides for new players. If you could share any insight, like how far your son was able to get in the Prologue with Thanos as his tank, that would be much appreciated!

    So far he has made it through the Juggernaut prologue missions without leveling any onestars. He has 2* Storm and Ms Marvel rostered with one cover each. So so far so good.
