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.

Challenge accepted.

Oh Snap

NOOOOOOOOPEEEEE

Question if someone ranks him up will it count for Level Up/SA events? Or because its gonna take an item instead will it count for Item use?

@Kabam Miike What about the energy requirements for new Symbiote difficulty for the EQ? Is it the same amount of paths & energy per step? Or is it much shorter since it's being released 2 wks later?

You beat me to it! I was just looking for this gif to share.

My Symbiote is definitely going to be named Squishy!

So, question about that
Any chance we can name our symbiotes in-game?

That's something we looked at, but is simply not possible for us to do in game at this time

I was already going to put the name of Chuck Norris or John Wick

Hey All,

I have the information you guys have asked for regarding the Rank Up Katalyst costs for the Summoned Symbioid:

Rank 2: 1
Rank 3: 3
Rank 4: 5
Rank 5: 15

That's a total of 24. Exploring Epic will give you even more than you need to bring your little buddy up to Rank 5!

Hello, good night! I have two questions for you to answer.
First: the dungeons, will come back? Because of the duration of the rewards in the shop
Second: will you ever fix the problem that the music re-start when the fight is loading? I really miss that the music continues until the fight start, like was before, that really make me focus in the fight.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, saludos desde argentina!!

What will exactly be needed to rank up these symbioids?
Just the Klyntar Catalysts or gold and stuff?

This sounds awesome. Looking forward to see the rewards. Will symbiote difficulty be a permanent new difficulty added to monthly event quests?

Glad to hear you're looking forward to it! At this time, we only have plans to have Symbiote Difficulty for this month.

Hi Mike, please help me man. I still have 62 Mystic cores sat in my item box. I was only refunded the cores I had used against MD. I want refund of the cores please. I have contacted support and they are not being very helpful. I contacted them pre the 11th September about this. All the discussion posts on this subject are closed so has to jump on this one

It was said really clearly, you only need Klyntar Catalyst and 1 gold for rank up!

So what you should be telling people who are not uncollected and struggle with Master mode is to complete Heroic first to get it to rank 3 which will then help them go through the first couple of chapters of Master which should mean they can get it to rank 4 depending on how you breakdown the Katalysts in each chapter, which will then help them complete Master. Then its a matter of getting 4 Katalyst either from first chapter or two of Epic or going back to complete beginner and normal which gives you 3 so you only need 1 Katalyst from epic.

If you only get the Katalyst when you 100% a difficulty then that makes no sense in how it would help people to clear content they struggle with.

Weirdly worded, but exactly my concern.
I think I can do the master difficulty (if the difficulty isn't emma frost level) but epic is way out of my reach..

How much will it cost to Level Up?

If we rank our Symbioid up past our strongest champ's PI, will he show up as the duel opponent for other players? Since we can't use him in PvP it would be cool to be able to fight them this way.

Will Masteries apply to our Symbioid or do we need to use Enhancements? Even if Symbioids have no Synergies will they still be influenced by other Champions' non-Unique Synergies like Romance, etc.?

Since there will presumably be no Signature Ability, what, if anything, will make up for it?

Moreover:
Will this pet come in a box in the mail or will he wander across our screens in the middle of a fight and make us lose because we are so busy admiring it's adorableness? Will we get "Who Saved Who ?" Titles? Will this be like Nintendogs where we get to watch Alliance members' Symbioids play with our own? Do these things like lasers or squeaky toys more? Are they child-friendly? Able to be left alone in the house? Will they screw wiith us and Kick allies form our alliances like a cat or a Border Collie would? Will they eat us out of the Alliance because it takes Alliance resources to raise them? Will we get a pedigree? What is the life expectancy and are thye prone to health problems in old age? Visits to the vet? Can we breed them? Were they obtained legally and humanely? Are they endangered? Do we need a license to own? Do they make noises unknown to this planet/plane of existence/dimension/universe? Can we set them on the bullies at school? Most of all, CAN WE WEAR THEM?

Dr. Strangevenom says:
"You don't think I'd ask all this unless it was pretty damned important do you, @Kabam Miike?"

What was the edit? It cant have been serious since I got no notification or anything

HULK_BREAK

They give us 23 of 24 Rank Up Katalyst on purpose so you can't use him at rank5 to complete epic level

He'd be quite strong at R4 too I assume..
