The "My Little Symbiote" Event

Free To A Good Home: Your very own Symbioid to raise, train, and send into battle! Well, it’s not your own… technically.

A group of intelligent Symbioids have been found in the Battlerealm! Unlike their more feral and brutish brethren, these Symbioids have developed a unique Universal class, and will obey the Summoner! You are being entrusted with the responsibility to care for one of these Symbioids (temporarily), and to harness their strength to overtake a new, even more challenging level of Difficulty that will make an appearance in the Contest this month!

Introducing to you, your own Summoned Symbiote!

That’s right Summoner, for a limited time only, we’re giving you all your own Symbioid! On October 2nd at 10:00 am PST, you’ll receive an in-game message that contains a 1-Star Summoned Symbioid! He may not sound tough, but with some love and care, this Symbioid will give you the power to take on some of the hardest temporary content that The Battlerealm has ever seen!

Throughout the Month, you’ll be earning Klyntar Katalysts and Strands. You’ll find the Katalysts in the new Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer Event Quest, and you’ll find Strands in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer Event Quest, and the special Occult Lab Event Quests. More Details on both of these to come soon!

Regular ISO-8 and Catalysts have no effect on the Symbioids, but you can use the Klyntar Katalysts to significantly boost the power of your Summoned Symbioid, But that’s not all! Utilize the Strands you collect to purchase Symbiotic Enhancements! Symbiotic Enhancements are Boosts that can only be applied to the Summoned Symbioid, and will only work in the Event Quest!

Utilizing Katalysts and Symbiotic Enhancements as best you can, the Summoned Symbioid may just be what you need to take on a Difficulty Level higher than you are used to! Speaking of which...

Another Level of Challenge!

Once you and your guest have had some time to become accustomed to each other, you’ll be given the opportunity to take on a new, more challenging Difficulty Level of the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer Event Quest!

Introducing: Symbiote Difficulty! Symbiote Difficulty is a brand new Difficulty Level that will become available on October 17th! This difficulty level goes beyond what you’re used to in Master or Uncollected Difficulty level, but your new Symbiote friend may be up to the task if you’ve taken the time to fully invest in Klyntar Katalysts and Strands!

Heed our warning, Summoners! This is not going to be Easy. Many will try, and many will fail!

Do not get attached to the Symbioid!

While you might find yourself getting attached to your guest, the Symbioid is not yours to keep! Due to their unique physiology, the Symbioid cannot stay within the Battlerealm forever! When the event ends, you’ll be able to sell your Summoned Symbioid and receive a keepsake Title in return! If you choose to hold out, the Symbioid is likely to wander off one day, never to be seen again!

Quest Difficulties this Month

More information to come soon, but this month will feature an “Epic Difficulty” in place of the Uncollected Difficulty, and will be open to players Level 40 and above. You do not have to be Uncollected to take part in this Difficulty Level. This is only for this month. Master Difficulty will also not require a Key to enter.

Klyntar Katalysts and your Symbioid

Your Summoned Symbioid can get quite Powerful through the use of Klyntar Katalysts! Unlike most 1 Star Champions, the Summoned Symbioid has the ability to go up to Rank 5. You’ll want to get them to as high a Rank as you can Manage, and might want to use them to take on Content that you’re not usually comfortable with.

100% Exploration of Epic Difficulty will give you enough Katalysts to bring the Summoned Symbioid to Rank 5. At Rank 5, the Summoned Symbioid has roughly 30% higher Stats than a 6-Star Champion, at Rank 2 Level 35! And that’s not even counting the Symbiotic Enhancements...

Symbiotic Enhancements

As we mentioned above, Symbiotic Enhancements are Boosts that can only be applied to the Summoned Symbiod, and only have an effect in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer Event Quest. These Enhancements are quite powerful, so use them when you’re in a tight spot, or when taking on content more difficult than you’re used to!

Beware of Alliance Wars!

The Summoned Symbioid does not like Alliance Wars, and Alliance Wars do not like him! Throughout the length of the My Little Symbiote Event, Alliance Wars will feature a Global Buff that will deter Summoners from bringing their Symbioid in as either an Attacker, or Defender. The Summoned Symbioid only like Quests!

Get ready to welcome this adorable little critter into your home next month!

EDIT: The Costs for the Symbiotic Enhancements was incorrect. We've corrected the prices listed above to reflect costs in game.

Master Difficulty Unlock Changes

Speaking of Master Difficulty, that’s something else we are changing - you will no longer need the ‘key’ to unlock this difficulty. You want to jump right in? Go right ahead! This has long been requested by Summoners, and we’re excited to bring this change to the Battlerealm!. We hope you’ll enjoy this new change, and we promise this is the last time it switches back!

And here Kabam Miike says in this thread that, quote:

Hey All,

I'm seeing a little confusion about the Difficulties, so I want to make it super clear that the Change from "Uncollected" to "Epic", and the Difficulty being unlocked right away is for this month only! Next Month's event quest will go back to normal.

And you wonder how there is confusion? Need to clear that out

@Kabam Miike

So.. erm... as people have already mentioned here it's not possible to take the Symbiote to rank 5 because we can only hold a maximum of 5 Katalysts in our inventory. We need to be able to hold 15.

Please tell the team to fix this!

How do you apply enhancements to the symbioid?

Austin555555

What is the final rating of the symbiod? Quite curious

Fhfjghhggggjfhfjg

What happens if we take the symbiod in aq?

Väggar

Someone correct me if I've been misinformed, but in order for there to be a Rank Five S.S. it requires Fifteen K. Catalysts, Right? In a Level 60 profile the Inventory for its stash that it can hold at one time is Five. Is there something I'm missing? Does anyone here have a Rank Five S.S.? Thank you for reading. Hopefully there's an answer soon.

Austin555555

Is it possible to have the symbiod as your top? Or is it programmed not to show up on a summoners profile?

Gotta hand it to you Kabam, this is pretty original. A few questions though: Are the enhancments permanent, of just temporary like boosts? And if they're permanent, are we able to get them all? Can more than one be applied at once?

They are temporary, like Boosts. You'll be able to get quite a few, and can use multiple at once!

temporary for one fight? 3 minutes? 10 minutes?... Please more info

I would also like to know this.

Really enjoying this month's EQ especially with the Symbiote. Well thought out, and I like how each player can customize the Symbiote to fit their unique fighting style. And BONUS, it only costs the summoner the specific rewards won from the EQ and monthly mini fights to rank up and enhance. Awesome Work @Kabam Miike

Werewrym

@Kabam Miike any word on why the crit rate shows "0" in the abilities tab? I'm guessing that that should actually be some sort of value.

How long do they last for @Kabam Miike ? There is no time listed in the store like other boosts.

They said you could use him, but there is supposed to be a global node that makes him ineffective.

You can place your Summoned Symbioid in Alliance War, but it isn't necessarily the best thing to do if you want your Symbiote to have a good time. There is a Sonic Vibrations Global Buff in AW that will increase the damage the Summoned Symbioid takes, so they aren't a big fan of Alliance Wars.
