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.

Not feeling this at all. We have to 100 percent the event quest to raise the sybiote enough to even use him/it and then what? Do we get bonus prizes for using him? The entire thing seems ill planned and concieved...what am into do with him after i have already 100 percented my level? What incintive is there to use him in a lower tier or higher tier when we have better champs?

Rap

With all the items we need to grind to aquire what value does this event add? Feels like just more stuff to grind for...as if we didn't already have enough...all for a champ that is unneeded and we don't get to keep? So...ummmm...am i missing something?

Buttehrs

Yall are missing the point. They said the symbiote is to help finish the symbiote difficulty on the 17th....not necessarily the stuff available right now

Brainimpacter

do the enhancement for symbioid stay on him permanent or do they expire like normal buffs?
If temporary it would be nice if it was stated in the store with the length of time they last

Mysterion

@Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Miike can i use my little symbioid to do a legends run?

skullduggery72

There is no klyntar kat for 100% beginner, so we cannot max the symbiote to rank 5 as we are 1 kat short after doing beginner through to master 100% !!!is this a visual error? Seems odd if not, you say the symbiote will help do epic but you can only rank 4 him (5k pi) from the other levels which means he will be no good to use in epic

Will the symbiote be able to do something like LOL too? Or only the event quest?

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.

Here it is.

works great can’t wait for mid October for Symbiote difficulty

Noblevictory

The symbiote idea is great but I would like it to expand to be able to use for story quest and road to labyrinth and realm of legends with the upgrades. For mediocre players like myself have a lot of trouble completing those tasks and events.

Why is it so difficult to get a mod to give us more detail on the boosts? How long do they last? Is it based on cost? There’s no info in game to tell us. Please let us know.

FactorQ

Does the symbiote affect summoner prestige @Kabam Miike ? It's starting to show up on summoner profiles at rank 5 and that might impact AQ

They already gave more details. They last between 10-15 minutes

Turns out I did receive the message but there is nothing there to tap where it says tap below.

Disregard my previous posts. My Symbiote is there. I thougt its PI would be way lower.

Dzon4488

@Kabam Miike How many boosts specific for the My Little Symbiote can we use in the same time? Not counting regular 10% health and/or attack boost, 20% health and/or attack boost...

It's a 1*. It won't affect your prestige.

Thanks a lot man! I don’t know how I missed it. Been scouring the forums for this info.

WolfGirlCZ

Too late lol I'm already attached to the Simbiond, it's fun to have it as friend who help me with fighting and I'm still pretty good at this game even though I'm a girl who is really bad in fighting games lol

Symbiote difficulty will have the same length / format as other difficulties?

We posted the info over in the announcement for the event quest, but here it is for anyone who may have missed it:

The Symbiote difficulty will have the same per tile energy as Epic (or Uncollected in other months), but each map will have less paths than the Epic version.
Chapter 1
Quest 1 - 2 Paths
Quest 2 - 2 Paths

Chapter 2
Quest 1 - 3 Paths
Quest 2 - 3 Paths

Chapter 1
Quest 1 - 4 Paths
Quest 2 - 5 Paths

So it's the same number of paths as the beginner mode?

I'm using mine in AQ. Very useful.

This is an amazing step in the right direction Kabam. Very smart move

I have mine at rank 4 now and hes amazing.
I know we end up losing him at end of event and get a title for selling him but...
Would you guys consider him a semi permanent champion that may appear during certain future events? Maybe every 3 months? Just asking
