Summoned Symbiote

How do I get a higher regen than vts synbiote synergy

Comments

read the synergies… one of the other symbiotes gives Steve permanent regen. So I don’t know if the health situation is worth panicking over.

I’m only two rooms in and the damage is terrible. Fights way too long. Maybe it gets better with more hacks but right now it doesn’t feel great.

agreed whoever designed this has evil intentions to hurt the player base.

I think this an event that on paper is really fun. In practice after a few fights in it feels way over-tuned.

EgyptOverseer

Defenders with attack values higher than your total health pool. What could go wrong?

Wozzle007

Ok with the pre-fight abilities, it’s actually pretty good on my second attempt.

Thing is pre fight abilities are locked to 3 times per ability across the 30 rooms

But they're still long boring fights. This is just zone 1:

This is objectively bad content. Even if it gets fun by zone 20, it's bad from the start. Terribly unenjoyable.

How do you get the persistent charges to activate the pre-fights?

Some of the fights reward them via nodes.

Only the first fight is "bad" because you can activate the prefights right after.

Mr7Marcker

Hate this symbionte incursions so bad.
cannt pass zone1 lol, i really dont like loooong fights where one mistake is over.

Again feels like something that was NOT tested properly, long and tedious fights are not fun, and if you think so I invite you to watch paint dry and report back about the experience.

TotemCorruption

Ok Zone 3 and we're starting to cook with the prefights.

But still it was a headache figuring out what this was.

This kind of "new" design is cool for Necro and EoP type of content, which I loved, but for a weekly incursions event with very mid rewards?

It's like Kabam doesn't appreciate that most of its playerbase doesn't want to reinvent the wheel every week. They just want easy predictable content with good rewards for a quick dopamine hit.

Leave the creativity to everest content which justifies the bandwidth necessary to figure out what's going on.

Is it really creative and reinventing the wheel when Steve's been around since like 2016

DMH525

do his pre fight abilities persist through all zones or just one? Thank you!

Zone 5 boss

Completely understand why some are so quick to judge and call it bad and tedious content with boring long fights considering all the bad decisions made by Kabam the past three months or so, but once you're fully ramped with the pre fights and everything, this is actually pretty fun and not hard at all. Fights go by pretty quickly once you're fully ramped, and you're basically immortal on most fights, so hard disagree on anyone calling rewards mid considering the effort required, even Peixemacaco can probably do all 30 zones without using a single revive.

They persist for the rest of your Incursion run not just one zone

Squidopus

Some of y’all have not messed with the Summoned Symbiote back when there were quests with his Pre-fights enabled and it shows. 21 Persistent Charges in the first room is plenty enough to get the ball rolling into madness with some of the hacks (notably the Leech Hack that gives you Prowess if you want to end fights quickly).

Case in point:

100k+ Attack Rating and a Critical Medium from Masacre, who already has high base Attack and Crit stats, isn’t even breaking 15k damage.

I then proceeded to kill him in about 30 seconds despite wasting time letting myself get hit to prove a point.

A little bit more than just the first fight, but yes.

Now I'm in zone 6, and firing off all the prefights (and remembering that they stack and are permanent) makes a big difference. Why zone 1 needs to be a chore to unlock the rest makes no sense, but it is not as bad as it initially seemed.

ItsClobberinTime

I just ate an sp3 and not only did I heal back up to 50% I still finished the fight in under a minute lol

Any event where Steve was in has always been about ramping him up, I don't get where all these complaints are coming from when this is how it's been since 2016. Summoned Symbiote events were always praised by the community this just feels like people complaining for the sake of complaining.

wait the prefights are perm

Yoi can only activate each one 3 times right?

Baron427

be nice if they put an "are you sure" type of message after hitting the conclude incursion button, I misclicked it and have to start over now =\

BowTieJohn

I'm confused I've tried this twice now and can't turn on a pre-flight for the first match. Is this working as intended. Who has everyone had as their first fight in incursions. Can't remember was my first, but on this second attempt the match was against Corvus Glave. With the health, their strength and no pre-fights available this first fight is a beast. Hoping I'll eventually get past my first fight.

Any good combos of champions to go with the Summoned Symbiote?

Pre-fight activates after first fight

Just got past first fight. I am using the Summoner Symbiote, Carnage, and Venom.

My enabled Boss Hacks are so far:

Boss Hack: Debuff Enhancement (Poison/Bleed)

Enabled Common Hacks so far:

Health Boost - 1

I fought an Argon. Just thought I'd share for others who may be looking for suggestions.

i dont get how they mention u can activate each prefight 3 times only but the prefights somehow last the entire incursion run? why would i activate it again then

Died on second fight against Agent Venom. Can we say these fights need some tuning?

You just need the right team set-up. The best team synergies are scream and venom the duck. The first boss perk you should pick is block proficiency. This makes it so you don't die to dumb block damage from knull or agent venom.

Once you get that perk you need to start maxing out your prefights. Leach and Adapt are the best ones. Make sure to get the hack that gives you a 15% prowess every time you steal power from the opponent. Once you have that unlocked all you have to do is spam medium medium into special attacks and dash back to steal the opponents power.
