Bio

When Howard was whisked away from his detective agency in New York City to the battle realm, he didn't know what to expect. He certainly didn't expect to be shoved into some back warehouse, organizing the Collector's Crystals all day. Well, an insult like this won't just run off this duck's back. He's "borrowed" a spare ISO-Loader, made some upgrades, and attached an old friend; his famous Big Freaking Gun. It's time for Howard to introduce these so-called Champions to the ultimate fighting style of his home universe, Quack-Fu!

Hints

Strong Match-Ups 0 0
  • Wolverine, Wolverine (X-23), Deadpool
    • In addition to a class advantage, Howard can permanently reduce these Champions’ Regeneration Rate with his Special 1 or gain his own Regeneration effect with his Special 3.
  • Hulk, Captain America, Colossus
    • These Champions rely on raw damage to take down opponents and do not have access to Armor Break. Howard’s high Armor Rating protects him very well against this type of opponent.
  • Doctor Strange, Loki
    • These Champions have low Physical Resistance and Howard’s consistent Fury effects from Quack Fu allows his basic attacks to easily overpower these Champions.
Weak Match-Ups 0 0
  • Ronan
    • Ronan’s ability to convert Armor Up into Armor Breaks, combined with his increased Stun duration against buffed opponents allows him to quickly bring Howard down.
  • Iron Fist, Spider-Man (Symbiote)
    • These Champions can regularly apply Armor Break effects to bring down the ISO-Loader’s Armor effects and leave Howard with little in the way of defenses.

Abilities

Signature ability

Mash ALL the Buttons!
When brought below 60% and 30% Max Health
Howard frantically mashes buttons on the Loader console and has a X% chance to trigger a Self Repair or Thunderquack. Both effects last 7 seconds and are interrupted if Howard is Stunned. Self Repair Heals X Health.
Thunderquack deals X Energy Damage.

Abilities

Armor
Armor prevents some, but not all, damage to a Champion. Many Champions have Armor as a passive ability. Direct Damage ignores all Armor.
ISO loader
Passive: The ISO-Loader begins the fight with 8 stacks of Armor Up active, each increasing Armor Rating by X. Each time the Loader is struck, there's a 13% chance for a piece of Armor to fall off.
Special Attack 1: The ISO-Loader’s specialized metal punches out a portion of the opponent’s ISO-8, reducing Armor, Attack, Block Proficiency, Regeneration Rate, Physical Resistance, Crit Chance, and Crit Damage by 6% for the remainder of the fight.
Special Attack 2: The super-charged B.F.G. fires out a barrage of strange bullets to cause different effects. Each effect has a 30% chance to activate. Possible Effects: Heal Block, Power Drain, Poison, Armor Break, Power Lock, Shock, Weakness
Special Attack 3: The suit’s Catalyst Absorber fires off, granting Howard a temporary Buff for 9 seconds based on the opponent’s Class. While the Buff is active, Howard’s Critical Hits also gain a bonus effect.
Quack-Fu
Passive: For each stack of Quack Fu Fury, Howard's Critical Damage Rating is increased by X.
