Announcing: Occult Labs

The Symbiote Supreme has commandeered M.O.D.O.K.’s old Laboratory and he has been transmuting the experiments into more difficult rituals using his sinister magic!

Test your luck and try your best fighters against a number of completely random Opponents, all with their own randomized Buffs! Beware, Symbiote Supreme, intrigued to push you further this time, has set it so the amount of random Buffs can also vary! Will you luck out on a usually tricky Opponent with only a single random Buff, or will the seemingly easy Opponent have the power of 6 random Buffs on their side? Remember to utilize the Randomizer to re-roll the buffs on the Opponent if you are not confident with the results; although, do keep in mind that the Randomizer will not re-roll the amount of fights on a single fight.

If you need a refresher on how M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab worked in the past, take a look at our forum post from the first time they ran, but read on to find out the differences!

The Lab will remain open for rituals between October 3rd at 10 AM PDT until November 7th at 9 AM PST.

Occult Lab will Feature a Few Changes in this Round:

Duration/Frequency
- 24 hours cycles instead of 12
- 2 entry limit per day, not restricted by difficulty

Auto Fight is back in the Labs, and you can use it if you so wish.

Regardless of difficulty, each fight will have a chance to have between 1 to 6 randomized buffs.

As with last time, ALL the Champions will be randomized on every node. This list has been updated to include Champions that have been released since the last M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab.

Were the Random Buffs altered by the Symbiote Supreme’s magic?

Yes actually. The list of Buffs have been slimmed down significantly, and includes a few that were not in the last Lab. He has also removed the HP and Attack Boost Pools and replaced them with a single global buff per difficulty, so the challenge faced will be solely with the other buffs on the fight! These global buffs are as follows:

Easy Global Buff - Iso-Infused (+25% Attack and Health)

Medium Global Buff - Iso-Infused (+50% Attack and Health)

Hard Global Buff - Champion Boost (+100% Attack and Health)

Expert Global Buff - Champion Boost (+200% Attack and Health)

Epic Global Buff - Champion Boost (+200% Attack and Health)

General Buff Pool

Consists of a more refined list of buffs from last time. This list is largely made up of buffs that you would see in a monthly quest, except for:

- Buffs that only work on one specific Character and Class specific Buffs (such as War Machine’s “Second Line” Buff or “Mystic Wrath”)
- Additional HP or Attack Buffs outside of the global boosts mentioned above.

Here’s Where You Can Get More Precious Randomizers:

- 8x in a welcome message on October 3rd, when Occult Lab goes live.
- 8x per day in the Game Store for 2500 Gold each.
- A quest chest with 1 or 2 that can be claimed with every successful completion of an Occult Lab (4x per 24 hours, maximum)

No energy cost but LIMITED ENTRY!

It still costs 0 energy per step to traverse the Occult Lab, however, you will only be able to enter the Lab a total of 2 times every 24 hours.

IF YOU ENTER A QUEST AND QUIT OUT, YOU WILL LOSE ALL WITHHELD ITEMS AND YOUR ENTRY WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. This means if you enter, decide you want to play another mode, and quit, you’ll lose that entry. If you run out of entries you will have to wait until your entries reset to enter again.

REWARDS - Symbiote Supreme’s Generosity

Below is a list of what you can expect as a rewards for each completion of Occult Lab. Keep in mind that since this is 1 path, completion will also equal exploration. Also keep in mind this is per instance, meaning rewards can be earned a maximum of 2 times a day for the duration of the event.

I really think those rewards totals are what's in the crystal that u could get, don't think it's u get all that, may be wrong but that's how I read it.

Yes it’s an RNG crystal. You can obtain one of those rewards.

cutlus12

I personally don’t like this kind of events just because they give you rewards in crystals which base is on rng. So if you don’t get good rewards after beating the epic difficulty they can say sorry it’s purely rng. We need base rewards challenges.

Negritis

do we know how many fights in a Lab?

Since there are a few people asking, I'll clarify:

You can enter the labs twice in a 24 hour period. If you are seeking a challenge, you can attempt the Epic Difficulty twice. Not quite at that level? You can try a difficulty you're comfortable with, and use the second entry to try the next difficulty up.

Sure we can do the same quest twice but do we get the all of the rewards both times?

I think that would be a logical assumption.

It would be logical but given the way these rollouts generally go I'll be checking the forums for people not getting the 2nd set of full rewards initially before I run any twice.

Also I'm still not clear 2 entries per day right so not 2 entries per difficulty. So there's what 5 or 6 difficulties so u can only choose to enter 2 In a day or the same difficulty twice, is that right.

Yes, 2 entries per day, meaning you can do the same difficulty twice, or you can do 2 difficulties once.

To answer another question I've seen floating around, you get the rewards for what you do, so if you do the difficulty twice, you get the rewards twice.

Negritis wrote: »

Each Lab has five mini-boss fights, and one boss fight; so six in total.

appreciate the response

Werewrym

What would really be nice was if our champs in other quests didn't lock them out of this mode. I imagine we are going to want our toughest fighters to take out champs with 1-6 random buffs on them.

Jaxtor

What are the drop rates for the Tier 5 lab crystal? Any reason you aren't sharing them right now?

SamuryanZ

I feel like the fifth difficulty should reward six star shards. It only makes sense that as the difficulty goes up so should the rewards

@Kabam Miike so does this mean that we get 2x the rewards daily or only once? As it says we can enter twice per day. If I have completed the Lab in the first try, do I get the rewards the 2nd time?

Logical assumptions and kabam don't go together. This is a game where electro shocks himself, ghost Rider Burns himself, ice man is too cold for himself, and metal isn't really metal at all.

Yes, there should be logical assumptions concerning a man that manipulates metal at will, one that projects electricity, and one born of Hellfire after making a deal with Satan. Lol. It's game balancing.

Good luck, Summoner. You’ll need it...

When will there be an opportunity to obtain Awakening Gems without grinding Arena?

And what does "Auto Fight will remain ON" mean???

Yeah, it makes it sound like you CAN'T turn it off, but it can't mean that. Haha If it does, no one is getting those top rewards.

@Kabam Miike

"Auto Fight will remain ON"

Please explain what this means. Will we have no manual control during fights??

NOOOOOOOOPEEEEE

So last time Modoks lab was happening there was no autofight available. This team it will be. Which is why they said it will remain on.

Auto fight will not be forced... What they meant by that was that you will have the option to auto fight if you so desire.

That is correct! There was a time where there was no auto fight in the labs, so even if you were matched against an easy fight you know you could auto, you weren't allowed to. All I meant by this is that you can use auto fight if you so wish. I'll update the message to make that clearer.

with only 2 entries per day (certainly used in the highest levels) Auto fight are useless

Right, because they never recycle events, so this would NEVER be helpful in the future...

I just took my first pass at the Epic difficultly. Lots of fun...but be prepared for the complaining!

Erikfive_0

@Kabam Miike to clarify the check mark won’t prohibit me from receiving the rewards the second time through correct?

tusharNair

Want to know the same... Can we use 2 entries for epic itself and get double rewards...... @Kabam Miike

BuddyGuyFriend

waaaaaay way too hard, even for this veteran, for the small rewards. won't spend a unit or gold at all for this. Have no problem letting this month roll on by. The difficulty is insane for no reason.
