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.

Nobody wants to read through all that junk man, come on guys. A good portion of your players are busy people you've got 25 unique boosts to wrap our brains around.

Reading can be hard

So we can use him in Alliance Quests right??

You will be able to take him into Alliance Quests if you choose, but then you're locking him out of the Event Quest, which is the only place where the Boosts work, and where he can really shine!

Any hint as to what the symbiod event quest rewards are will they be better then uncollected

TL;DR: You get a Summoned Symbioid, use him in the Event Quest. Collect Katalysts to make him stronger, and collect Strands to spend on Symbiotic Enhancements which are boosts that only he can use in the Event Quest. New difficulty coming later this month for the Event quest, so get him as strong as you can and take it on!

Hey there Miike i see u mentioned uncollected changing to epic this month only what are the rewards for that difficulty

No change in the Rewards! It's just a change of name because it is not only locked to Uncollected Summoners this time.

MavRCK_

This is a really cool idea! Thanks!

What about the symbiote difficulty?
Also do you guys take back our pet after the event is over?

I couldn't even keep a Giga Pet alive

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?

Reward information will come with the Event Quest Announcement. And unfortunately, the Symbioid will wander away after the event, so make sure you "sell" him to get your Title!

FallingKingdoms

Can we use the symbiote in solo content such as story? If so I’d like to test him out against some fun opponents!

To be clear: we are losing one month of uncollected in exchange for one month of epic difficulty?

Do I have this right, if so, will the epic difficulty have at least equivalent rewards to uncollected?

Yep they have the same rewards as prev month only named differently
But we have a bonus difficulty named Symbiod(harder than ex uncollected actual epic, for this month at least)

Danger_Ross14

Sounds fun. And I guess if I want a souvenir I will have to take a screen shot? Would be cool if you just take all of his abilities away at the end of the month and let us keep them just for the collection. I have always wanted a symbiod

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

GivMeABeer

Are the symbiotes any specific class?

Can u give us the stats of a maxed out symbiod
And also will we be able to use normal champs in the symbiod event quest

Apple_user2

How high is the symbiodes PI

IanMoone

I take it we can use symbiote in any difficulty of the quest before 10/17?

VikingGunn85

A lot of confusion about this, I believe most people are not excited about investing in a temporary champion. We took time to develop our rosters, bad pulls lucky pulls. We made hard thought decisions on ranking some champions. This one's going to go away after you put the time in.
Will there be energy require or will my little buddy keep running through the special event?

Raganator

I assume a beefed up Symbiod will not affect a players prestige (or that Kabam has accounted for that potential mishap)?

IanMoone

This symbiote reminds me of 1* spidey in Act 4 where i was like "Awww that's cute a 1* spidey* then this happened.

Glad this isnt happening to us lol

Now you get to be on the other side of that situation!

IsItthough

Oh this sounds cool, like a nice little beta test for gears. Let's see, work and push all the events to get a special resource that allows you to add things to your character and boost them up to take on harder difficulties. Only when you have added enough stuff to him will you truly be able to take on this crazy special event. Yep pretty much sounds like the ground work for gears coming soon.

Davis66

Sounds like fun with all the Android lag on the game I'll be able to play about two events in the month so we can't wait
