Hi Everyone,

“Spider-Ham, aka Peter Porker, is a sweet, well-intentioned member of the Spider Family. He is always the first one to try and pay a compliment or crack a joke, but despite behaving like the ultimate ham, he takes his job as Spider-Man seriously and fights with his own special kind of cartoon fury.”

Check out the brand new Limited 4-Star Spider-Ham, and find out how you can recruit him onto your roster!

A reason to actually run Arkangel

3

Huh. A mid-week character intro. Weird.

4

I think the Shield Training should give out tokens for The Hunt store? And Prodigal Sun will give tokens for Spider-Ham and Friends?

That’s what usually happens, anyway.

5

America Chavez was also released on 12/24 last year

6

No “Holiday Ham” pvp event. Disappointed.

7

It is, but I’d definitely rather have “Spider Ham and Friends” token from the Shield Training, myself.

8

Any special reason why his pink/purple ability targets “Minions”?
Does that differ any way from all “Enemies”? Goons only or are they just being cute?

9

We’re going on holiday break starting the end of Friday, so we’re just trying to get as much info out there beforehand, otherwise we usually reveal new character info on Mondays

10

Minions are Goons, yes.

11

Why does the spider-ham and friend’s vault end days before Prodigal Sun, when that event gives tokens for the vault?

12

So is a minion anyone on the opposite team? Or specific to certain characters

13

I know there are plenty of chars especially effective against Goons, but is this the first char specifically targeting Minion/Goons only? Interesting concept, I guess…

14

He’s designed as a niche character. One of his powers only hits non-tile movers in PVE.

This is what happens, I guess, as approach 80 characters in a tier. More specialization.

I find When Pigs Fly interesting, as the tile still counts down when he’s stunned. Sorry, Archangel, it’s not that easy.

15

@Brigby Do you know who the 5* essentials are for the hunt and prodigal sun?

16

Assuming I get one more Ghost Rider cover (any color) in The Hunt progression, this will be my first SHIELD Training where I have all 3 chars at 209 or better! (Riri and Coulson are two of my 15 4* champs)

FINALLY!!! Albeit, the reward is a Limited niche-build cartoon pig that I will hardly ever use, but it’s a sign of progress!

17

Assuming minion means goon or equivalent non-player character, I hope this is the only character that ever refers to that variable. Otherwise the future of character design seems very bleak and not so fun.

18

It’s either 5/3/5 for non-minions or 3/5/5 for minions. This pig here introduced a couple of new abilities.

  1. His purple targets basic special tiles and countdown tiles, but countdown tiles are given the priority to be removed.

  2. His countdown tile still resolves even if he’s stunned.

  3. Targeting specifically “Minions”.

Isn’t Prodigal Sun the PvE with 7 days of Dark Avengers?

19

The Hunt - Archangel
Prodigal Sun - Star-Lord (Awesome Mix Volume 2)

If you want to see the full event details, you can check out the updated December 2018 Sneak Peek thread.

May be an early counter for future characters that spawn goons as an ability instead of characters like Coulson/Kingpin that just put out goon tiles.
