    Duck Season returning confirmed?

    Howard the Duck confirmed as returning in Story and shortly after, Versus. Not technically Duck Season as there will not be an overarching Vault and there won't be a Howard DDQ.
    (*Disclaimer: At least, that is the plan as of today.)

    Thanks for the info. And thanks for bringing the duck back. Hopefully, he won't be gone as long in the future.

    Will Howard still only be available in special tokens/Vaults or will he be added to the general Heroic tokens as well?

    It's off-season, the buffed list will work for exactly one event, that being the last of the season.
    As always.

    One PvP (Category 5) and two PvEs (Simulator and Webbed Wonder) actually.

    Can you elaborate on the availability of actual Howard the Duck covers please? Will he be a placement reward for Webbed Wonder? Will it be a single cover in the WW vault? Maybe a progression cover? Thank you in advance (if possible)!

    Thank you for this information. I assume "comic packs" means there isn't a Vault for the Simulator, Howard seems to be treated as a new release. Is that right?

    Is Howard becoming a normal 4☆? Going into event rotation and LTs?

    that's more of what my question is. if they can just stick him into an in-season pvp, that totally goes against the impression they gave when he was released as a ddino-ish character.

    Elektra's second PvP was in-season, I don't see why Howard's can't be.

    Elektra was not (supposed to be) a devil dino type 'joke' character (actually she isn't, she has her situational moments). she was in tokens and rotations in pvp and pve. they sure gave the impression that he'd never be needed for anything substantial.

    Elecktra is 10x more of a joke character than Howard icon_e_wink.gif

    I'll ask the question I asked in the other thread as well:


    WHY MUST THE NEW/RARE CHARACTER EVENTS END THE SAME TIME AS OTHER EVENTS?!?

    Offset event endings please!

    I used to believe the Elektra anti-hype.

    Then I got a 5 Black cover one in PvP.

    IT SUCKED AND I LOST HARD.
