A SWARM OF SYMBIOTES
Symbiotes have begun to appear all around The Battlerealm at random. As if that wasn’t enough, Guillotine has requested your help to save a once powerful ally from a pursuing force. Where are all of the Symbiotes coming from, and how are they getting around so fast? Team up with Guillotine and put an end to the rampage!
The chaos caused by the onslaught of Symbiotes has had some… interesting effects.
Firstly, the Master Key has been destroyed. Yes, you read that right, the Master Key has been destroyed, and the Master Difficulty has been unlocked for the foreseeable future.
Secondly, Uncollected difficulty has been replaced with EPIC for this month, allowing a challenge for anyone Level 40 and up.
Finally, a new SYMBIOTE difficulty has appeared, which will require the help of a friendly Symbioid in order to complete, starting on October 17th. It was mentioned before, but it’s worth repeating: this difficulty is beyond what you’ve seen in Master and Uncollected, and it will require the help of a properly invested Symbioid to complete.
TALL, DARK, AND HANDSOME
Two Symbiote creatures have slithered their way into The Battlerealm!
Venom the Duck is the first result of what happens when the Symbiotes run amok and start bonding with a wide array of Champions. While Howard may seem like an odd choice, this Symbiote chose him for his cunning intellect and is using that in conjunction with the Symbiote’s natural bloodlust and penchant for violence. Throughout combat, Venom the Duck will be able to activate buffs of different categories, store them for later use, and call them back when he needs them.
The Symbiote Supreme is a powerful Symbiomancer who can control Symbiotes through his mysterious magic. What he hopes to gain from taking control of Symbiotes throughout The Battlerealm remains to be seen, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the inhabitants. He is able to gain and switch between the blessings of Eldar Gods and a Demon to increase his offensive and defensive capabilities, and to Nullify the buffs on opponents.

Q&A
How long does this quest run for?
This quest will be starting on the 3rd of October at 10:00AM PDT and will run until November 7th at 10:00AM PST. Those attempting Legends runs will have until October 17th to 100% explore both Heroic and Master difficulties.
How do I get the Legends title associated with Master Difficulty?
The Legends title and rewards will be given to the 100 players who 100% explore HEROIC AND MASTER difficulties in this Event Quest the fastest. Just like recent Event Quests, this quest will take advantage of the Time Attack system we’ve put in place for our Monthly Quest Legends Program. This means that the players that completely explore Heroic and Master difficulty the fastest within the first 2 weeks of the event being live will win the title.

In addition to this distinction, these first 100 will receive the following rewards:

with comic con around the corner you should be trying to get people on your side when they come to your booth. not ready to ask why are the rewards ****
I would reread. Basically 15k 5* shards, 2,500 6* shards, and 1/2 a T2A. Seems pretty decent to me. But we will have to see the difficulty level to obtain them.
Or is the 2500 5* shards a typo
Please be a typo
(Symbiote difficulty)
Oops. Read this without my glasses. I would’ve thought it was 6* shards since they’re giving us a 5* crystal.
What 6 star shards? No t5b, no 6 star shards. The 6000 extra T2A shards and the Colossus you'll get from the featured crystal certainly don't make up for it
Epic difficulty is enough to take your sym to r5
It should be:
1x 5-Star Featured Hero Crystal
2500x 6-Star Shards
18000x Tier 5 Generic Catalyst Shard
20x 5-Star Sig Stone Crystal
1x T2 Alpha Catalyst
1x Monstrous Master Title
Also, there should be t5b fragments... it’s freakin harder than epic! Like what in the actual heck?
I agree
Hops
Thank you for the feedback on the rewards for this event. I can confirm that what is listed here is correct.
When we designed the Event, we did so as an addition to the regular Monthly quests, like the other side events we do every month, and not an actual extension/progression of the Monthly Event itself. While the content itself is technically more difficult, we're also giving everybody the Key that is required to be able to beat it (the Summoned Symbioid).
This is Bonus content in addition to the regular Monthly Event quest. If we ever do introduce a higher difficulty, the rewards will be better suited to be a progression of the actual Event Quests.
