Introduction
Howard the Duck is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. Howard the Duck's role is Tech.

Is Howard the Duck good?
Howard plays the long game: Fury, Armor Break, Suppression and Heal Block chip away at the opponent's ability to survive, while his Dormant Armor grants him longevity through Armor Up. His MASH ability improves all of that just by mashing the button, which makes him forgiving to play, and his Signature adds Critical Resistance while cutting incoming debuff duration.
Mystic champions and anything that shrugs off debuffs both give him trouble. B tier for a durable, anti-heal Tech champion built for longer fights.
Strengths
- Fury, Armor Break, Suppression and Heal Block wear down survivability
- Dormant Armor grants Armor Up for longevity
- MASH button-mashing improves his core abilities
Weaknesses
- Mystic champions are a tough matchup
- Debuff-shrugging opponents blunt his kit
Profile
Howard the Duck is a male Duck.
Background
When Howard was whisked away from his detective agency in New York City to the battlerealm, 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!
