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.

Are the boost permanent, time-based, or single use?

LeNoirFaineant

@Ploop_Plaap they last for like 10-20 minutes depending on the boost.

For the title that we will have to sell to our symbiote, will it be unique? Or will it be different depending on the rank of the symbiote?

azhie06

Please kabam don't take away my symboite I already I love with him it's my first strong champ

TaimurKhan

I see people are getting attached to their Symbiote. I have a suggestion for kabam, it will be a great gesture by kabam if they can let players keep their Symbiotes. What kabam can do is they can limit rank up on Symbiotes as per players' ranks. Symbiote isn't a game changer in any way. So, if kabam gives them to players, its not gonna change their rosters overnight.

BlindChickenBoy

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit just 1 question please. In order to collect the rewards for the Sybiote difficulty releasing on the 17th. Do we have to 100% all the other eq difficulties (beginner, normal, heroic, master and epic) or ONLY 100% the symbiote difficulty?

November Song😭😭😭

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Does the SA only unlock at R5?

Blissfulfool

Am a little confused, please let me know if I have missed something, just got my symbiote to r4 (4.9 pi). My general understanding he's supposed to be able to help me with the next level of difficulty, baring in mind I just did master without him. I don't see how he's gonna help me with epic difficulty, I checked the rewards and it doesn't look like I can r5 him until I have completed epic, what am I missing? Please help

He's supposed to help you with symbiote difficulty. You can't r5 him even if you explore beginner to master, you'll be 1 katalyst short i believe.

The symbiote only boost will definitely help you do epic even at R4.

@Kabam Miike how come there is no 6* shards for symbiote difficulty? Also no t5 basic shards

There’s a global node in AQ and AW that gives the Sym 200% more damage, so don’t get hit.

Only in AW. Ther is the node Not in AQ

@Kabam Miike
When I saw arriving this little symbioid, I thought : « Waoh Kabam give us a collector champion, to all people playing this month »
I didn’t read the message.
I discovered after it was like a 5*r4 when maxed.
« Very nice gesture from Kabam !!! »
By lowering event quests, I thought that a lot of players could rank up this collector.

Then I learned this champion will be tool back...
It’s like an adult get back a christmas gift from children : not positive.

Collector champions is a good idea.
I still think the symbioid is a collector and should remain in players’ roster. Even lowered a bit or without boosts.

Would kabam change its plan regarding the symbioid ?

Because he is more useful than Kabam said, and Kabam is (no offense, @KabamMiike) naive to think that everybody would unquestioningly accept their word that he is not suited to AQ or AW...

I would even be okay with him as a dippy 1* with a max PI like any other. Not like it matters at that level. At least do so if there is a Summoned Brood in the future

Maverick75

Two years ago I suggested to introduce the symbioid as a new champion with random powers from existing champions. The idea wasn’t a success.
I try to suggest once again 🙂
The symbioid could change of color depending on the champion’s class he is copying
Well I think there is a lot of ideas with this character

The symbiote is annoying. Unless you've got an all star line up of 5*+ high ranked champions, its very difficult to complete epic difficulty without using units. The rank 4 symbiote doesn't help enough to clear epic. It's frustrating because everything in this game favors the hardcore long term players and it takes years to go from 5 4* rank 5 heroes to 5 5* rank 5 heroes.

If you 100% beginner, normal, heroic, and master you still will be 1 klyntar katalyst short of getting rank 5. Ironically getting him to rank 5 would be the one thing that'd allow me to complete epic...

So the ones who get to rank 5 are mostly the guys that don't need him, what's even the point of having him?

He will help in the symbiote difficulty. And you should be able to do epic with a team of 4/55s or even 4* 5/50s. If you need an r2 6* to do it then you're probably not ready for it.

Actually an R4 sym will take you through epic. I just did it, it’s just a matter of using the right enhancements. The cheapest is using hardened coating and just blocking until an opening becomes avaialble. For the bosses, add a couple more. You can even throw in total carnage/vicious assault for path clearing to make it even easier. I only have one 5/50 and I was able to do one run through epic to R5 my sym.

I have only 4* r5 champs (well I have corvus 5* at r3 but hes not the greatest for Questing) and I was able to get through epic with my team and used the symbiote. The only fight I used an enhancement on was the golden symbiote boss. No units spent. Now that I have the symbiote to R5 hes definitely helping me clear Epic 100%. Its costing me a few units for 100% clear but the initial pass didnt require any units.
If you would need him to be R5 to complete epic then I would say your not ready for that diffuculty. My understanding was that getting him to R5 was to help with the Symbiote difficulty that starts on the 17th.

Neck_up

Maybe I missed the question, but why are the klyntar cats 1 shy of max ranking the symbiote unless you do epic. Defeats the purpose of opening uncollected to epic for the month mho

Blaker78

i think the idea is that you have to complete at least the single pass of epic to fully max the symbiote. He was intended for us in the Symbiote difficulty that hasnt opened yet. He obviously wasnt meant to be maxed out so that you could get through Epic.

Brradbury

Are we not able to take symboid into act 5? I thought it said he is for questing purposes and useful in more difficult quests
