The symbioid is 30% stronger than a 6* rank 2, so it basically beats every other champ, especially with enhancements. Interestingly, they have made it such that you need 1 more Klyntar catalyst to reach rank 5, than what is given for exploring beginner to master. This means that a factor for distinguishing mid or late game players comes in where the catalysts are given. If they are given throughout the event quest, clearing one quest on epic difficulty might be manageable for most, leading to MOST mid tier players being able to reach rank 5 on the symbioid. I suspect this is the case, which is why they have tuned down the rewards for the symbioid difficulty. Imagine if someone with just 4/40s can get the rank 5 symbioid and hence clear symbiote difficulty, there becomes a problem with controlling progression. Giving too many late game rewards (people asking for 6* shards and t5bc) means that mid tier players have access to tons of late game rewards, which becomes weird when a mid tier player is able to get a 6* that quickly. I appreciate that Kabam has already made epic difficulty available for all players, so that mid tier players can have some end game rewards, but perhaps further increasing rewards in symbiote difficulty will tip the scales too much. Lately, Kabam seems to be giving more skill based challenges like the danger room, allowing mid tier players to catch up with end game players, and the symbiote difficulty seems like another of such an event. Thankfully, the occult labs will still allow end game players to progress faster with better rewards, so overall the rewards cater to both mid and end game players.

I don't know why, but as a mid-tier player, this was beautiful to read. lol
