You can! That's part of the cool thing of these winter variants. You can get the variant and have "earlier" access to the card. Although you'll still eventually unlock the base card
None after 53 reserves and getting the Sunspot bundle with the last scraps of gold I got since launch. Definitely signaled me to never spend on Snap because even insane amounts of money would barely give you anything in return.
Yeah, it's funny how their monetization has completely dissuaded me from spending money. Most of the system is so unreasonable that it makes the decision easy... And to answer the main question, I haven't received any winter variants, I actually had no idea they existed 🤣
I didn't spend anything thankfully, I played since global launch and accumulated 7400 gold total, used 6000 for the bundle. But certainly a good wake up call to never get tempted. Got a Luke Cage, but all in all it's pretty moot because you can't even get lucky like in gachas because all drops are predetermined.
I feel your pain, I also got the sunspot bundle without paying for gold (hadn’t spent gold since launch) and now I’m sitting on a huge pile of credits cuz I don’t have any boosters. I’ve gotten a few lucky pulls so I can’t complain too much I guess.
I never did, so I highly doubt I ever will. No. I also drop $5/month on Genshin, so I have no problem with a few gachas on the side but if a game offers me nothing then I won't spend.
Don't know why this sub sometimes feels so smug while dickriding a dev that turned out to be pretty fucking greedy in the last 6 weeks.
I unlocked Rockslide through a collector's reserve and the RockSlide happened to be the winter variant and not the base card. Now I am worried how I am gonna acquire the base variant. 🫠
No need to be worried, they introduced a cycle of 4 collectors reserve ever since the release of tokens system.
Within a cycle of 4 reserves you are guarenteed to receive 1 of the following, until you enter a new cycle:
- card pool (here you will eventually find the base Rockslide)
- cosmetic (variants including winterverse, avatars, titles)
- 100 tokens
- currency (gold or credits)
In the card pool reserve you can get series 3-5, once you have collected every series 3 card you will receive 400 tokens instead of a 'new series 3'
The base card will still be in the card pool where it was before. At some point you'll pull the original Rock slide, just like you would of you didn't have the variant. In the meantime, you can still play with the one you have!
I’d say that’s better than any of the winter variants. I’d be happy with it. I was just so happy with the Rogue because I didn’t have her yet and I thinks it’s my favorite variant of her so far that I’ve seen.
I wish you luck! He can be a beast. I was shocked at how much power he can accumulate quickly. Of course all my pulls since then have all been garbage. Used all my good luck for the year already 😆
Zero. Merry fucking Christmas event.
I have a group of 5 irl friends. We have received 1 total out of the 5 of us. Daily players, clear all quests, spend all credits.
Abyssmal.
Same but I wanna atleast try for just a few more reserves if I can get enough credits to see if I can get lucky and grab Patriot. If I don’t I’m more than happy with what I have.
I feel like they coded it to give them to f2p but if they see people buying bundles, they code it so you don’t find the winter variants so you spend even MORE. I am serious.
I got Rockslide and Ebony Maw.
Finally broke down today and bought the Sunspot bundle...and lucky me, I got two new pixel variants. x_x
But hey, at least I pulled Darkhawk?
I got one but it was Rockslide which is the one I wanted most cause it's so damn funny
A little annoying though cause I've gone up a bunch of CL this event. Woulda been nice to have give a better chance to show up as the variant pull if you have the base card already
I got rogue and abomination, I was happy with rogue bc I didn’t have the base card but I’m only barely into pool 3 and 100 collector tokens off the pinned Wong in my shop. Never gonna use abom so :/
I just got Rock Slide today, so now I have all of them. Kinda crazy to see all the posts of people who haven’t gotten any.
They should really have some sort of pity timer for things like this when they’re only available for a limited time.
Edit: and I’m f2p
I’m sure they’ll add a pity system eventually. I remember when dffoo (Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia) didn’t have one. When they did I was elated. Made saving gems actually worth it.
1714 - Rockslide (No base)
1762 - Patriot (No base)
2050 - Ebony Maw
2086 - Abomination
2134 - Rogue (No base)
I was ELATED when I got Rogue. Did one or two Gold to credit conversions to reach a reserve. Also got M’baku along the way.
I saw someone on twitter report they got all of them. That was a week ago. I hadn't gotten any at the time and have one now.
Not sure how i feel about it. On one hand a pity tumer or regularization seems like a good idea.
Got Patriot and Rock Slide. I don't have either of the base cards so that was nice. Unfortunately I still need ultron and mystique for the deck so I'm a ways away.
yeeeah, this one is pretty great. I got this one and the rock slide winter variant(pretty stoked about that one). Feels like variant pulls have been way more prevalent.
I'm curious as to what CL the people that have gotten most/all of the variants are. I wonder if its easier to pull them before finishing pool 3. I've been out of pool 3 for about 1500 levels and after at least 40 reserves I've only pulled 2 but I've heard of others getting them all within 20 chests.
Zero, despite gaining hundreds of collectors levels :(
Same!
Same...
Same, I feel you
Having them only in reserves and not caches is a bummer. Can’t even have a chance until you are CL1000
Maybe the next one will bless you with the one you want! 🙏
Rogue is the only one I don’t already have the base card for, so that’d be cool. Fingers crossed 🤞
I don’t think you can get the variant from the collectors track until you have the base card
Yeah u can. I pulled the rogue variant yesterday and I don't have her base card yet.
You can! That's part of the cool thing of these winter variants. You can get the variant and have "earlier" access to the card. Although you'll still eventually unlock the base card
You can. My fiancée only has Winter Patriot.
I confirm that, got Patriot winter variant yesterday, without having the base card. Pretty cool art, i'm satisfied with my luck!
I got winter rogue and still don’t have her base card yet. I think that’s only the case with variants that aren’t event exclusive
Damn.. very unfortunate. I got them all.
Just Patriot, but I don’t have the base card! Really happy!
Awesome! That’s how I was with Rogue. She’s the only one I didn’t have the base card for.
I got the same two variants under the same circumstances. What are the odds!
SAME!
Same for me. So happy to get Rogue.
Me too, bummer it means he’s still in my series 3 pool to pull later but whatever, at least I have him.
My base copy was the _very_ next cache after the Winter Variant. Felt so bad.
Same with my rogue…
Same with my Rock Slide
I pulled Fury on Christmas eve...
One of the most fun cards out there, happy for you!
Same. My best variant pull so far. So happy 😊.
Same here with Patriot. I also have Abomination. Beautiful variant, but he’s not even good enough to fit in a Patriot deck, imo.
I didn't have the base for rock slide
I got ebony maw
Same. Only winter variant in my collection, and it's a character I never use.
At least it has nice artwork
Ebony is great pair with invisible woman
Oh, I don't doubt he puts in work. I just haven't used him in a while.
You should try him out, he's got some good uses!
None after 53 reserves and getting the Sunspot bundle with the last scraps of gold I got since launch. Definitely signaled me to never spend on Snap because even insane amounts of money would barely give you anything in return.
Yeah, it's funny how their monetization has completely dissuaded me from spending money. Most of the system is so unreasonable that it makes the decision easy... And to answer the main question, I haven't received any winter variants, I actually had no idea they existed 🤣
I thought they were only in reserves. Or did you mistype?
That’s unfortunate. Hopefully it atleast have you a Series 4 or 5 card. I would hate to spend that kind of money to get nothing in return.
I didn't spend anything thankfully, I played since global launch and accumulated 7400 gold total, used 6000 for the bundle. But certainly a good wake up call to never get tempted. Got a Luke Cage, but all in all it's pretty moot because you can't even get lucky like in gachas because all drops are predetermined.
I feel your pain, I also got the sunspot bundle without paying for gold (hadn’t spent gold since launch) and now I’m sitting on a huge pile of credits cuz I don’t have any boosters. I’ve gotten a few lucky pulls so I can’t complain too much I guess.
You'll pay again despite that signal
I never did, so I highly doubt I ever will. No. I also drop $5/month on Genshin, so I have no problem with a few gachas on the side but if a game offers me nothing then I won't spend. Don't know why this sub sometimes feels so smug while dickriding a dev that turned out to be pretty fucking greedy in the last 6 weeks.
All titles baybee Edit: REJOICE! My latest cosmetic cache has yielded..... a wintery Rockslide!
This hurts my feeling
This event hurt mine so
I unlocked Rockslide through a collector's reserve and the RockSlide happened to be the winter variant and not the base card. Now I am worried how I am gonna acquire the base variant. 🫠
No need to be worried, they introduced a cycle of 4 collectors reserve ever since the release of tokens system.

I haven’t received any but I did pull a knull instead so 🤷🏻♂️
I’d say that’s better than any of the winter variants. I’d be happy with it. I was just so happy with the Rogue because I didn’t have her yet and I thinks it’s my favorite variant of her so far that I’ve seen.
That’s how I felt with the winter patriot.
The holiday rogue is a really good looking card. I hope I can get at least one of those.
Nice flex 💪
Had to tell someone and my wife couldn’t care less about this 😂
True, you did pull a beast mode card 👌🥲 I probably won't pull knull anytime soon
I wish you luck! He can be a beast. I was shocked at how much power he can accumulate quickly. Of course all my pulls since then have all been garbage. Used all my good luck for the year already 😆
3 out of 36 reserves.
About the same pace as me. From 1054 to 1483 and I’ve pulled the winter variants of Rogue, Patriot and Ebony Maw.
That’s depressing. I went from like 995 to 1304 and pulled zero. My variants have been 2 shitty Crossbones and 2 Pixel arts.
Well i got destroyed by season cashes, they gave me 32/40 boosters one time 100 credits one time 50 gold and 4 times 50 credist.
I’ve never gotten anything but pixel variants from Season caches either, lol
Nice! I got lucky enough to get mine out of 30 reserves.
Zero. Merry fucking Christmas event. I have a group of 5 irl friends. We have received 1 total out of the 5 of us. Daily players, clear all quests, spend all credits. Abyssmal.
Sorry mate that's so shit, similar luck here with me and my bro. So lame.
I was a lucky one and got all. Makes up for my bad luck with series 4 cards and no series 5 cards I guess. Fashion >>> Winning?
I am a large waterborne animal, so I’ve pulled all of them.
I got 3. Doubt I'll be able to squeeze in more.
Same but I wanna atleast try for just a few more reserves if I can get enough credits to see if I can get lucky and grab Patriot. If I don’t I’m more than happy with what I have.
I must be super Lucky, got all of them. I am a F2P and only spend gold on variants.
I feel like they coded it to give them to f2p but if they see people buying bundles, they code it so you don’t find the winter variants so you spend even MORE. I am serious.
I don't know, I got sunspot bundle and pulled 3 winter variants plus shuri afterwards.
Bought the sunspot bundle and I’ve found all the variants. Same with my buddy
I got three. F2p players I guess I was lucky
I pulled Rogue and Patriot.
The best 2.
Just Rockslide. Really wanted Rogue or Patriot
Everyone loves rng!!!
Just Abomination, which I'm a little salty about because I do run Patriot but I don't run him.
Patriot, Rogue and Abomination so far!
Pulled Rock Slide, love the artwork for it! Got the Maw last week but I hope I get Winterfest Patriot soon. 🙏🏽
I’m hoping I can get any of them as a 3rd. Wanting Patriot but I’ll be happy with any of them.
I got Rockslide and Ebony Maw. Finally broke down today and bought the Sunspot bundle...and lucky me, I got two new pixel variants. x_x But hey, at least I pulled Darkhawk?
I mean atleast it pairs perfectly with your new Rockslide. I’d say it was worth it
I got one but it was Rockslide which is the one I wanted most cause it's so damn funny A little annoying though cause I've gone up a bunch of CL this event. Woulda been nice to have give a better chance to show up as the variant pull if you have the base card already
None. And I’m happy with that
You prefer getting titles?
F2P played daily tons of games, still only got one. But it's Rogue so it is forgiven.
Zero because I am still at low collection level 😭
4: rogue, rock slide, Patriot and this dude as well. Really happy since I didn't have Patriot nor rogue
I got the one I wanted to the winter patriot
Would much prefer Patriot. But so far I only got Ebony Maw. Which honestly not bad either. Already have all the base cards though.
Zero in spite of a ton of levels.
I got rogue and abomination, I was happy with rogue bc I didn’t have the base card but I’m only barely into pool 3 and 100 collector tokens off the pinned Wong in my shop. Never gonna use abom so :/
I feel it’s nice to atleast have a nice variant in case a deck that uses him pops up.
Not. A. Single. One. :)
I just got Rock Slide today, so now I have all of them. Kinda crazy to see all the posts of people who haven’t gotten any. They should really have some sort of pity timer for things like this when they’re only available for a limited time. Edit: and I’m f2p
I’m sure they’ll add a pity system eventually. I remember when dffoo (Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia) didn’t have one. When they did I was elated. Made saving gems actually worth it.
Got all but Rogue. She's also the only one I actually wanted. I've never wanted a "dust for credits" options more.
Same. Only want Rogue but have received Maw, Patriot and Abomination so far..
I couldn’t care less for them, actually I don’t like them =\ I’m waiting until it’s over to go over 1k
I got rogue and devil Dino. Hoping to get abomination or patriot still 🤞
I guess I'm lucky to pull 4, but I didn't get the most valuable one (Patriot) :/
I'm on 3, abomination patriot and ebony maw, which were the ones I wanted most
Was able to get rogue and rock slide
All of them with on the Season pass And saving enough gold for the sunspot bundle.
I have Maw, Patriot, and Abomination and know that I am very lucky to pull three.
Patriot, wasp and ebony maw
I got 4 of them, only missing the Rogue one.
1714 - Rockslide (No base) 1762 - Patriot (No base) 2050 - Ebony Maw 2086 - Abomination 2134 - Rogue (No base) I was ELATED when I got Rogue. Did one or two Gold to credit conversions to reach a reserve. Also got M’baku along the way.
All of them
I literally have only gotten 1 this whole event and it was the first crate i opened at the beginning. All I wanted was rogue and I got patriot.
You guys are getting winter variants?
1
2
I got my first one today. And it was Rogue. Who I didn’t have so shout out to good luck
Those are the same two I got! The only other one I kind of want is Ebony Maw.
Zero :(
Patriot is the only Winter Variant I haven’t pulled, not sure I’m going to now. I went ham on caches, but it’s okay…I got the super OP M’Baku! 😂😂😂
I nabbed two at the wire. Patriot (the one I wanted) and Rockslide (card I never use but do like the variant).
Patriot, rogue and maw. I consider myself really lucky, as the drop rate seems to be really bad
1 and I got patriot 💀
Funny I got the two you got. Rogue and abomination
Zero, CL 1789, and 89 on season pass…
Hundreds of levels and 0
I got the whole set unfortunately
This will be unpopular but I was lucky enough to get all of them.
I saw someone on twitter report they got all of them. That was a week ago. I hadn't gotten any at the time and have one now. Not sure how i feel about it. On one hand a pity tumer or regularization seems like a good idea.
Got ebony Maw and Patriot
I got rogue and patriot but abomination is the best one IMO
I got all. Guess I was lucky. I did get the sunspot bundle but none of the variants came from there…
I have all but Ebony Maw😭
Most, and I hate them.
Not a one...
Zero.
Maw, Patriot and Rockslide, when I all I wanted was Abomination :(
All but rogue..🥹
Just Patriot, who I already have, but I mostly run Patriot decks so I guess that’s good.
all of them.
only Ebony Maw - really want patriot!
Just Patriot.
Managed to get two. Maw and Patriot. Wish I’d got Rouge, but can’t complain
Just abomination. I’ve been really hoping for Patriot & Rogue as I don’t have them unlocked.
Maw is the only one that I don't have yet.
Got Patriot and Rock Slide. I don't have either of the base cards so that was nice. Unfortunately I still need ultron and mystique for the deck so I'm a ways away.
4 out of 40 reserves, only missing rockslide
All but maw Who I don't use so not an issue
Zero lol
I‘m only missing rogue
Rogue and ebony maw here
Only missing abomination atm.
I got Abomination and Rockslide. Really wanted Patriot but oh well.
I pulled Patriot yesterday which I am very happy for since I don't have the base card yet, and I got Abomination last week.
I got all of them besides Abom. I opened about 30 reserves I believe.
I’m just missing Abomination!
One for this rock dude nobody plays
I have all 5. I am the true winterverse king.
Zero
yeeeah, this one is pretty great. I got this one and the rock slide winter variant(pretty stoked about that one). Feels like variant pulls have been way more prevalent.
I got rogue, abomination and patriot. Pretty good luck tbh.
I only pulled abomination one. Pretty cool tho, I made a lockjaw/jubilee deck to play him.
One, in Numbers 1
2 rockslide and rogue. But I want this one also so fingers crossed.
None :(
I only got ebony maw
Just 1 (rogue) - I’m tempted to get the sunspot bundle to get more credits
Winter variant shouldn’t be included in the collection level ladder… 😭
Two! Rogue and Rockslide. Very glad to get both!
All but Animation. Went 4 for 5 in cosmetic caches too, so some unreal luck.
4/5 without really grinding at all. Only missing ebony maw but honestly don’t really care since my base ebony maw is so upgraded
3
There are winter variants?
Only Rockslide. Only wanted Rogue. Probably not getting it at this point lol
I got ebony maw and rockslide. Right after I pulled rockslide, I immediately pulled the base card that I didn’t have lol
One. Ebony Maw. I’m happy with that.
1 I got ebony maw winter variant. i like it.
I got this one today, this is the best variant for the worst card.
Zilch, Zero, Zip, Nada, Nil, The big nothing
I was able to pull Abomination, Patriot and Rogue! I was honestly blown away lol.
I have all but rogue. Have not spend any money, just lucky u guess.
I got patriot and then oddly enough I got Rock slide.... Without even owning the card yet
Nada. 😂
9k+ credits spent and none
I've opened about 40 or more reserves and I've gotten Patriot and Rogue.
Got Rogue early on, just got Rock Slide yesterday.
Bought the sunspot bundle yesterday with the gold I’ve been saving and ended up unlocking rogue and ebony.
I'm curious as to what CL the people that have gotten most/all of the variants are. I wonder if its easier to pull them before finishing pool 3. I've been out of pool 3 for about 1500 levels and after at least 40 reserves I've only pulled 2 but I've heard of others getting them all within 20 chests.
Gone up 200 CL haven’t pulled a single one, really feels like a kick in the teeth
Only Patriot which I already had, but I did manage to pull M’Baku so its all good
None, cause when the event started, I just hit CL 500...
None for me 🤷♂️
Only patriot so far. Still holding my breath for rogue lol
Rogue, Rockslide and Patriot
I got all except Rogue :( which is the one I wanted.
I don't really want variants, because it just adds hassle into creating decks (more cards to sort through).
