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.

@Kabam Miike I haven’t seen this subject mentioned in the thread :

What will happen to the extra Klyntar Katalysts (for those who have extra after ranking 5 their Symbioid)? Will we get a conversion to gold, shards or regular catalyst fragments?

Thank you!

Why did yall only put in 14 cats after you're on r4 on the beginner to master difficulties? Is that so no one can r5 him unless they do an epic pass through for 1 more catalyst? Cause I dunno if this is a over sight or what but it seems like some bs

Scale back his sig lvl....i swear you guys never test anything before release and you wonder why we are pissed all the time

Use a poison immune. 😂 I used 4* Iceman and he did great.

It’s in the monthly quest thing. Just go to the right after epic difficulty

After having gone through the new event, I thought I would try to provide my personal opinion on the event. When it was first announced, I was pretty excited. Getting a new champ that we build up over the course of the month and then take on a new level of difficulty was creative. As an end game player, I was excited for a new challenge, especially based on the announcement that suggested it would be very difficult. I appreciate the thought and time time that the developers went into to create this event, the new difficulty, and the buffs. There is little doubt that it took a lot of time to pull this off.

That said, once the rewards were announced, it was clear that this was not the more difficult content that end game players are looking for. With a maxed out sym and the boosts, this difficulty was easier than Epic or even Master level difficultly. Essentially, it is throwing a bone for some free rewards that only take time. People may counter with an argument that if you wanted it to be more difficult, then just don't use the sym or the boosts. That argument fails given the rewards for finishing the new level. In other words, why would I spend more time trying to clear the level with my basic champs if the rewards don't match the difficulty. Instead, I ran through as fast as I could just to get the rewards.

To be clear, I have no problem with these types of events that allow players that are still building up in the game getting thrown a bone with these types of events. This event was more of a thinking game (i.e., which boosts to use to counter specific nodes) rather than difficult content. I personally do not think this event scratches the itch that certain players have for more difficult content. I would LOVE this event without the sym and without the boosts, with better rewards. I want my champs to get wrecked, I want to use items and units, and I want the rewards to match. Even if its not on a monthly basis, there needs to be more challenging solo content from time to time. Add uncollected level to celebrity challenges (should have happened a long time ago) or create these types of events every three months without a way to walk through them.

Again, this is just a personal opinion and people are free to disagree. It is coming solely from the vantage point of a player who has completed all solo content and would like to see something more challenging from time to time. In no way am I discounting the time and effort that the devs put into this event. Again, I think it was clever and I loved playing around with my sym (and essentially some free bonus rewards).

Agreed, while super fun to blitz through in two hours it did not provide the "super extream extra hard" difficulty that was advertised. I knew that the reason that the Epic difficulty was so easy this month was because it was open to everyone but I had hoped that the new difficulty would actually pose a challenge. Unfortunately, in addition to the Sym and the boosats Kabam also added a 200% attack boost, which basically made it a joke outside of like 5 fights.

the only thing i didn't like about it, was the Colossus it gave me out of the feature crystal.....

You can try with your own champs as I did to get your challenge

If I finished the simbiote event next week when the featured crystal will change, which one I will get? The actual one or the next one featured crystal?

You can find the answer in many other posts.

It is very disappointing that after 100% biginner, normal, heroic and master that you end up with one point short to rank your little symbolic up.

Why does Recoup not work against Abomination’s poison???

Because poison reduces healing. Use undying, cut deep and total carnage and hope he dies before you get damaged too much. Or use tenacious, unknown enemy. Those work too.

Ahtopahto

So do we get for 100% all dificulties the same award as symbiotic difficulty rewards us?

Piviot

Post above huh those are the Symbiote rewards, nothing else

Wth is your question

You don’t need to complete any other lvl(unless it needs to be unlocked)
