The Marvel-themed version of Puzzle Quest will soon be getting a new 5 star character that will be added to the game. That new character is Silver Surfer and while he is the first to make his appearance, he is also definitely not the last. D3 Go! has more 5 star heroes planned for future updates.
Silver Surfer will be available to be unlocked and added to player roasters starting September 10th. Unlocking Silver Surfer is done by getting him inside the new Legendary Packs that are also coming to the game. These new packs will contain no characters under 4 stars, as well as the all new series of 5 star characters, of which Silver Surfer is the first.
Interestingly enough, D3 Go! has provided a full FAQ regarding Silver Surfer, which we have included below.
How do you earn Silver Surfer and future 5-star characters?
– You can earn 5-star characters via the brand new Legendary Packs. These packs will contain only 4-star characters and better. The odds will consist of 90% 4-star characters and 10% 5-star characters (however, only 5% until we release the second 5-star character).How many 5-star characters will be coming to Marvel Puzzle Quest?
– We plan for three 5-star characters by November and even more after that.How strong will 5-star characters be in Marvel Puzzle Quest?
– 5-star characters will be good to go out of the gate. Meaning where 3 and 4 stars may need 8 – 10 covers before it’s ready to shine, the 5-star characters will be leading your rosters after just receiving one or two covers. Now that will be something that every roster can use!Will 5-star characters be available for purchase?
– 5-star characters can’t be purchased. They are set-up to be epic and rare and developing these characters will be a long term goal. Players will need to collect each of the covers, and they will need an actual cover to upgrade the abilities.Briefly tell us about Silver Surfer.
– Silver Surfer is a humanoid of the race of people hailing from Zenn-la. Norrin Radd took up the mantle of Herald of Galactus in order to save his planet and can utilize the Power Cosmic, an energy that few others have wielded, much less mastered. In Marvel Puzzle Quest, the Skyrider utilizes this power to deal huge concussive blasts, creating black hole-like tiles, self-healing, and charging tiles with energy for friends (and foes) to use.
When will Silver Surfer (and 5-star characters) be available?
– Silver Surfer (the first of the 5-star characters) will be available starting on September 10th.Extra Credit – All the ways you can earn Legendary Packs are in the following ways:

– And! We’re adding a new mission type to Deadpool’s Daily Quest. Every 5 days, there will be a very challenging face-off mission between one particular 4-star and one opponent. Beat that mission and you’ll get a Legendary Pack. The first mission of this type will appear on 9/15.
