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.

I did read it. I just wanted to make sure cause the info conflicted with the one here

Besides a title, I hope you plan to include some of the materials a summoner would get if they ever had the option to sell a r2 6* when we part ways with the sym (assuming you reach max rank). That will make the loss less painful. Some t5B shards, t2a shards, etc.

A lot to take on on this month, seems cool and new though.

I saw you mention Occult Lab event, is this just a re-spin of modok's lab again or something different?

Its basically a renamed modok lab

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

Lol yeah I remember that guy. Hardest 1* fight ever.

Where is this???

I believe 1* spidey is in Act 4 with DDN as the boss bottom left side of the map

This definitely sounds interesting, at max rank it’s probably going to be completely overpowered but it’ll be cool to play as a symbioid. Is there only a title for selling it after the event ends or will there be a different title if you choose not to? I assume it’s just the one from reading it, unless it’s similar to how rocket’s button worked.

Speaking of which...

I still have this stupid button. Wish I could have received the rewards from keeping it...

@Spurgeo14 can you still press it?

Can't do anything with it. I quit the game for awhile during that event then came back later. Couldn't do anything about it, unfortunately.

Dank_555

Could I ask when we have to sell our symboids before they disappear

LeNoirFaineant

@Dank_555 they haven't said but I'm sure it will be clear.

TheSquish671

What will be the symbioid's fighting and special attack animations? Completely new or same as the current symbioids?

Love the idea! Are there any gold costs to rank up our little symbiods?

They said it costs 1 gold per rank.

Kenny292

I doubt this is how they'll be, but I think it'd be pretty cool of the summoned symbioid grew in size as you rank it up, from like the size of Rocket to like the height of Sentinel with the bulk of Venom or something.

mrawesome001

I am excited about it

Crooked_Sprook1

How many strands are we gonna get for each difficulty? Like how many enhancements can we get if we explore master or heroic?

Noname54

What will be rewards for completion ?

Pradeep0050_

Is that symbiote howard the duck is our little symbiote.

I’ve seen 3 people ask this with no reply but will it cost us gold to rank up?

I think the idea is great but the quests can be completed with our regular champs so I do hope that it does not require gold to rank up when at the end all we get is a title.

It costs 1 Gold per Rank.

But what is the Level Up cost and what else do you need? I really hope its on a Quest Completion basis, so you do Normal to get to R3 and Hard for R4... JUST DONT REQUIRE 100% EXPLORATION!!!!

Props to you. This is a crazy cool concept and a rad way to get lower players involved in larger content. I’m excited for the month to come and I have high hopes for the symbioid and the quest!

I have a suspicion that this came out of the Content Creators Program rather than Kabam...imo its pretty risky. Our positive reactions to the announcement are a given, but the content itself may be underwhelming.

And one day... some time from now, see how the Symbioid isn't walking or playing like it should, his long mostly wet and vivid tongue is now tired and dry, he gets tired easily.....

I go put up a support ticket and they just tell me to put it to sleep, and I just can't.... eyes watering, memories flowing..,..

What if hes lonely?

You are still not getting it.
Uncollected = Epic. Same thing, only the name changes.

What is being described as a more challenger difficulty that Uncollected/Epic is another difficulty called "Symbiote" Difficulty

Easy
Normal
Hard
Epic (=Uncollected)
Symbiote
