Symbiote incursion

Why is the symbiote incursion so difficult either you run into nodes that make it impossible or you have fights that are impossible really kabam

It’s about time for a long break from this game.

1st fight was actually pretty easy, despite the # giving me reservations. The 2nd was so annoying, I was done, and the only other person left in my Alliance barely wanted to try. Another event geared toward big Alliances who want to play endgame content with nothing for casuals. 🙄

You can really tell who has never played with Steve before by all these posts

I didn't get rewards for completing zone 30 what gives

To be fair, it's been a couple years since the last Steve event.

first few fights/rooms are tough. After that it’s pretty easy if you choose the right hacks and preflight.

Only twice in any incursion (regular or special event) have I found a fight to be literally impossible, and that was during a carry where you degen 3% per second on a boss.

If you're struggling or need help, ask for advice, but don't complain and say it's impossible. It's not even close - especially since it hasn't even been live for 24 hours.

Use Steve's pre fight ability. They last the entire run, don't hold back on activating them. By the time you get to level 5 it's pretty easy

I can't enter symbiote sector, I have Steve and his 3* synergy champs but the symbiote sector still shows up red, am I doing something wrong am I missing something?

It showed red to me as well, but I clicked Enter Solo and it let me in, so don't worry about that

MCOC forums in a nutshell:

Easy content = “Boring!”

Hard content = “Impossible!”

Kabam can’t win 🤣

I think it was my easiest incursions run. Super fun and satisfying. Are you taking advantage of all of Steve's benefits?

I had a good run once I figured out what synergies and order of hacks and evolutions I wanted. But I got lucky, no Sauron. Otherwise it's one of the easier incursion events, not progression based, anyone can do it as long as they know how to parry, combo into a special, stun, and move backwards.

Are you entering the Symbiote sector?

I made the same mistake, you'll know the difference.

The rating and health for Symbiote sector opponents are much higher than sector 1, at least they were for me

On my last two runs, I got to zone 8 and had a Guardian auto blocking all my specials and then on my last run, in zone 10, I came up against an Absorbing Man which literally rendered my symbiote, his pre-fights and hacks pretty much useless. Very frustrating!

They used to have both. Easy (or easier) for casuals, and harder for those who wanted challenges, usually with decent rewards. Now you’re stuck with what they think is your level, or worse, 1 mode for everyone. I tried again with everyone’s suggestions, but by the time I got to Zone 6, I was so frustrated I tapped out.

Good for those having fun… but there’s a reason everyone else I know has perma-quit, except for 1 person who left and came back for Banquet, then is quitting after because they feel all the changes just made everything worse. ☹️

It’s very ways although annoyingly long . Here is what you need to to :

You need the Symbiote , Venom the Duck and Scream

Venom the Duck for regen synergy . That why you can easily heal yourself all the time . Scream is also great for that block bonus

From the hacks you can get True Sense to help you dead with evade and auto lock champs , immunity to bleed poison and so on , immunity to reverse controls and permanent grit to deal with unstoppable champs

Then you need the pre rights from the Symbiote . The most important one is leech since it gives you an enormous power control . It can get to the point where you won’t even allow the defenders to launch sp1

Of course there are many other paths as well but this one is pretty easy

RevHeresy

I am bad at this game and did the 30 rooms with zero revives. Got lucky and never hit Sauron. I did heal a few times to prevent death.

I had absorbing man as well. With Steve’s preflight, he never was able to use a single special to reform. Which means once the initial rock state is deactivated, just bleed him to death. It’s slow to start with but a very easy fight.

Joker1976

it wasn’t very difficult at all.

Took me a couple runs to get used to Steve’s mechanics again.

But when i got the feel again i cleared it and just used 2 revs on a poor path choice.

I just used all my pre fights as soon as they became available and once that little symbiote is ramped up,..it’s almost difficult to die.

SidnyStorm

Fully ramped up Steve is almost indestructible. At some point Hovard’s regen synergy will heal faster than you get damage.

What’s the thing with Sauron? I’ve met him couple of times, nothing unusual…

Sauron (and Cable, and Elsa Bloodstone) inflict degen on you if you bleed them. You're stuck racing against the clock to get them down before you're degen'ed INTO OBLIVION (shout out to Dave)

Mint9aer0

I'm doing 5 zones per day currently on zone 15. How many nodes do they want to put on these fights? Its ridiculous

there’s a guide in the second paragraph of this. Hope it helps

Mjmst79

Because they are selling the solution in their store in the form of revives and potions. So the answer to your question is - greed.

Feuerschwer

Sauron doesn’t degen you when bleeding, but he is poison immune, massively reduces bleed damage, and is immune to power steal, so against him your bleeds do very little, you can’t switch them into poisons with your heavy, and you can’t power steal to spam specials and/or build prowess with that hack, so he ends up being really tanky against Steve.

Definitely with the wrong nodes he can be a nightmare to deal with.

Guardian shouldn’t be too bad if you can nullify his armor buff, because he can’t autoblock without it. If you get him early and don’t have that prefight up he could be a slog though.
