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.

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

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

It works, I played and got the rewards from epic twice!

Exactly. Pretty pointless that they added it now. Typical Kabam...

Auto fight turned on twice for no reason for me and screwed up my second run. Rather they take that back out if it's buggy.

Nickname207

Can someone post a picture of how high enemies PI in Epic/master?
I heard the difficulty is off but still dont want to waste a pass yet.

Master fights are 19-20K PI, boss was 32K PI

Epic fights are 30-35K PI including boss.

EPIC was HARD, and for me, i'll likely only do 1 per day of that.

Ordalca

This shouldn’t be happening on the first run, right?

EDIT: Ok, not a serious issue. The bug is purely visual and the rewards are in my inventory.

Also FYI mods, the old re-roll bug is back. If you roll to change nodes, then go to another part of the game and come back to the lab, the original nodes return 🤦‍♂️

I can’t for the life of me understand why these dice thing exist. Just erase them and do something new to replace the dice. Kinda stupid annoying when it runs out and have to wait another day for more dice

RagamugginGunner

These are super bugged. If you leave the fight section it undos any re-roll. Absolute garbage. Got WS with power start 1 AND power start 2. Re-rolled, went to get some more pots and entered the fight just to see him start the fight with s SP3. Thanks for wasting my time and resources Kabam.

Crine60

Are you guys going to fix the re-roll bug this time or let the whole event go by bugged again?

Carnage313

So correct me if I’m wrong. As usual if your champs are in another mode we can’t use said champs on labs. If so this is completely ridiculous. I do understand back in the day when this was implemented. But cmon. That game has changed a lot since then. Look how many modes are going now that we have to take on. AQ AW event quests and labs. It’s not like everyone has a vast pool of spectacular champs that can be evenly spread out especially when exceptional champs are so rare even in he basic of crystals and even in those we get more of the scrub champs over and rover again above anyone else so when we do get good champs we invest in those champs and then like now are limited. This is just my thoughts because personally and also feelings felt from a lot of players within alliance and other media. You have taken the fun out of the game long time ago. I’m sure this will get flagged and 95% chance to be thrown in kabaam jail but cmon. #makemcocgreatagain

Badrose

Same bugs, same BS rewards, as always you need super luck in order to get something.

Crine60

Why do my purchased randomizers expire in 2 days? Didn't they last for 7 days last time? 2 days is ridiculous.

Snurris

As most have noticed there is no drop rates on the possible rewards from crystals earned in occult labs. Why is that?
Thought that drop rates should be on all crystals in the game for transperacy.
For example, how high are the chances to obtain 7200 T4cc fragments from a tier 3 lab crystal?

Drop rates are only required for crystals which can be bought for money. Just like they don't show drop rates with aq map crystals

Snurris

@TwmR thanks a lot. I have obviously gotten it wrong.

Noatek

Jesus, the hard difficulty is way to hard. I have 2 r5 4 star characters and I'm still struggling. One less event I get to play this month

Spurgeon14

They should at leave have base rewards like 5* shards and then a crystal on top of that. Or just have all base rewards. I don't like this RNG stuff

MrMaat

i will say here exactly what i said in another thread.

my only problem is not the difficulty or the rewards.

it is too hard for me when i get bad nodes. i know i got murdered in it. my problem is that by challenging myself and trying it i get locked out of completing master.
so i am better off not challenging myself and doing the easier difficulty. and atleast getting rewards.

its like you get punished if you try and fail.
i was always taught to always try and if you fail to try again.
but this doesnt make me wanna do that. this makes me wanna not try again and just take the rewards i know i can get.

i love the harder gameplay and the fat the game is progressing. i just really wish i was able to try it without missing out on the rewards i know i can get.

and also just to add the rewards are fine if you are good enough to complete the quest easily. yes they are notr worth using revives to get. but if you need to use revives then you are not ready for it.

I can see the point here. If you try and fail, perhaps you shouldn't lose a attempt so that you can still run a lower level twice. But, if you back out of a difficulty, you shouldn't be able to go back in and try that one again. Then people would just keep backing out until they got good nodes to deal with.

BlackFreQuency

i'm already done with Occult Labs.. whats the point ? getting stressed out for no reason.. it's too hard looks like a gamble

weavile

at least with node that have multiple level like buffet or cornered can we keep only 1 version around like the strongest (15% health) or the weakest. It's boring that each dungeon node have 3 version and seriously diluting the node pool. Even with reroll you likely face same old buffet, cornered, traquility

What’s the difference? Whether you try and fail and have to back out or just back out, you are still quitting the same way. How would you differentiate?

from kabams point maybe hard to tell yes....
but the way i see it is simple....

2 entries.....
if you win a room you lose an entry.....
if you lose a room you can still re enter a room but only a lower difficulty one....

ie.
lose in epic - can enter again but only in expert or lower.
lose in heroic - can enter again but only in normal or beginner.

this way you still have a maximum of 2 entries. but you are not afraid to push your limits and challenge yourself to improve your gameplay

Spurgeon14

I was able to complete Epic level, but the rewards for the time spent was not worth it. Master level is a lot easier and rewards are pretty good in my opinion. So I'm just going to do Master instead of Epic.

Headroller

Can we get the chart with percentages for each tiered lab crystal items? They have been made available in the past so I’m hoping there is one available to us players again.

Thanks!

Crine60

Can we get a reply about the bugged re-roll issue from last time still being present and also why purchased randomizers only last 2 days in stash now?
