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 didn't see this information in the original post and I don't know if it's come up in the comments, but how is the Symbiote's signature ability unlocked and upgraded?

It isn't. It says if you read in his signature's description that he doesn't play well with others, so one is good enough. So no dupe for our summoner symbiotes. Not too mention the fact that you can't dupe 1* champs.

Oops, I forgot to look in the most obvious place. Thanks.

Mitchell35

Can we get power levels for other ranks of the symbiod? Will squishy at r4 be able to do epic? Because I know my limits and can probably do master 100% no help but I’m wondering about epic.....

Russtafari

Why didn't i get one? I've been playing for over 2 yrs, i see alliance mates got it but i didn't. Also, I've noticed that for the alliance help events i can click help 100 times and maybe I'll get credit for once.

It looks like you haven't updated to the latest version yet. You'll need to be on Version 20.1 to receive your Symbioid friend

TheSquish671

Are the symbioids supposed to be usable in uncanny danger rooms?
Weren't they supposed to be used only in occult labs and the EQ? @Kabam Miike

Faolanx

Why can’t we keep the Symbioid? Will we be able to use him in future events?

@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.

You should be able to sell it for 1 Gold. I pressed and thenm sold.

I think you sell it for a title of some sort.

The Title is automatic assuming you logged in to the game during the event. Button-Pusher is if you pushed it before the end, but if you didn't push you got more than a Title.

ok thx

Piviot

And crossbones if you swipe left and hold block you use to get five furies? It gave me one

Oops wrong thread

RagamugginGunner

are the boosts in the Enhancements store permanent or do they expire after an hour or something?

Mags

So everything I've read about these little guys says they'll be able to be used for harder content we may not be used to playing.. I can't seem to find anything saying the actual symbiotes will only be eligible for use in the special event.. The only thing I could find said that the boosts were only eligible for use in the quests. Can a mod clarify where the new guests can be used, and where they can't?

I wanted to run my little creature at RoL to get a look at his output. Wanted to do it after every rank up to compare - but he's being blocked. Same for seriouo story quests.

Strange that he can be used for uncanny quests though, if there is a restriction in place.

Mags

Correction, the only restriction I've seen mentioned was a global penalty or debuff if brought to AW/AQ.
So, again, can a mod clarify what the restrictions are?
Or maybe another summoner can point me to a post that already spelled this out?
*Not the one about the boost restrictions either, ive read it multiple times and it definitely doesn't say the symbiotes are restricted.

Romo790

Loving the concept of this. The only thing missing from this is us being able to actually name him in game

LeNoirFaineant

@Mags they did announce that you can't use him in permanent content like Story, LOL, ROL, etc.

Mags

@LeNoirFaineant I appreciate the response, but where was this? I cannot find it anywhere.

Only the Event Quest and the Occult Labs! That means that it cannot enter any "permanent content', including any of the Store Quests, ROL, RTL, or LOL.

Looking forward to the event launch today. Really original concept for the event and I have to give kudos to Kabam where its due. The Occult labs not costing energy and having great rewards is a refreshing change and this event sounds fun and new, this is shaping up to be a great month to play.

I'm in agreement. Really looking forward to this months events. Only thing I'm not looking forward to is when dungeons come back and we have to balance playing labs, dungeons, EQ, AQ, and AW.

There is no reason to not allow him in the Uncanny quests:

1: They are not gonna be around much longer
2: There is no reason to use him until he is stronger and until the Event Quest is on there is no way to rank him up.

He's not your typical 1* champ though...

@Kabam Miike

If we are attempting a legends run will we be able to use the symbiote?

I am sure they will likely make it 3 days per dungeon as i found it refreshing and doing it at your own pace

Why do dungeon at all when they are not leaving anytime soon?

LowercaseCube42

Apparently the symbioid is boosted by masteries, or atleast his pi is

Werewrym

Anyone have a r4 symbiote from once through epic that they can post pictures of?

Denta89

We can have Max 5 klyntar in inventory, so we cant bring him to r5

Can you post a picture of his abilities? I want to know what his crit rate goes to when the opponent has a debuff.
