Announcing Event Quest: Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer

A SWARM OF SYMBIOTES

Symbiotes have begun to appear all around The Battlerealm at random. As if that wasn’t enough, Guillotine has requested your help to save a once powerful ally from a pursuing force. Where are all of the Symbiotes coming from, and how are they getting around so fast? Team up with Guillotine and put an end to the rampage!

The chaos caused by the onslaught of Symbiotes has had some… interesting effects.
Firstly, the Master Key has been destroyed. Yes, you read that right, the Master Key has been destroyed, and the Master Difficulty has been unlocked for the foreseeable future.
Secondly, Uncollected difficulty has been replaced with EPIC for this month, allowing a challenge for anyone Level 40 and up.
Finally, a new SYMBIOTE difficulty has appeared, which will require the help of a friendly Symbioid in order to complete, starting on October 17th. It was mentioned before, but it’s worth repeating: this difficulty is beyond what you’ve seen in Master and Uncollected, and it will require the help of a properly invested Symbioid to complete.

TALL, DARK, AND HANDSOME

Two Symbiote creatures have slithered their way into The Battlerealm!

Venom the Duck is the first result of what happens when the Symbiotes run amok and start bonding with a wide array of Champions. While Howard may seem like an odd choice, this Symbiote chose him for his cunning intellect and is using that in conjunction with the Symbiote’s natural bloodlust and penchant for violence. Throughout combat, Venom the Duck will be able to activate buffs of different categories, store them for later use, and call them back when he needs them.

The Symbiote Supreme is a powerful Symbiomancer who can control Symbiotes through his mysterious magic. What he hopes to gain from taking control of Symbiotes throughout The Battlerealm remains to be seen, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the inhabitants. He is able to gain and switch between the blessings of Eldar Gods and a Demon to increase his offensive and defensive capabilities, and to Nullify the buffs on opponents.

Q&A
How long does this quest run for?
This quest will be starting on the 3rd of October at 10:00AM PDT and will run until November 7th at 10:00AM PST. Those attempting Legends runs will have until October 17th to 100% explore both Heroic and Master difficulties.

How do I get the Legends title associated with Master Difficulty?
The Legends title and rewards will be given to the 100 players who 100% explore HEROIC AND MASTER difficulties in this Event Quest the fastest. Just like recent Event Quests, this quest will take advantage of the Time Attack system we’ve put in place for our Monthly Quest Legends Program. This means that the players that completely explore Heroic and Master difficulty the fastest within the first 2 weeks of the event being live will win the title. More information on that can be found here:https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/27/time-attack-legends-program

In addition to this distinction, these first 100 will receive the following rewards:
#1-5 - 3x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal
#6-100 - 1x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal

@Kabam Miike If I Dont do Symbiote difficulty until after the feature 5* crystal changes, will I get that new one instead or will it still award us the older feature crystal?

@Brainimpacter Its the current one and will not change when the new one comes out.

Guys can anyone explains this

Explain what? Those are the rewards for the Symbiote quest.

MrOnizuka

To those that are not uncollected, do not lose hopes in completing epic and full explorations..

My account is only 4months old and i only have 5/50 void and AA, its definitely do-able..
I just R5-ed my lil symbiote and he’s making exploration of epic easier. Play with cautious and patience. Understand each nodes and time it accordingly.

Best of LUCK guys&girls!

Hmm, Symbiote difficulty is live, I won’t be starting/streaming it until Friday but seeing some of the streamers live right now, plus a cursory glance at the levels, the rewards seem to be off compared to the original post. There are 4* shards for the individual levels that weren’t mentioned, and t4b frags as well in the completion/exploration rewards, but then fewer t2a frags as originally announced? Any of the mods, can you confirm?

There are only 15750

Wondering this myself. Here's a SS of the original announcement:

Wasn't the symbiotie difficulty "Monstrous Master" suppose to be a rare (blue) title or was it always an uncommon (bronze) tittle?
Edit: Found where I seen it as a rare (blue) tittle. It was in a Trucos post for the rewards summary for the whole event.

Hey All,

Sorry, forgot to update you guys. There was a mistake in the rewards on the announcement post. The original post overstated the T2A Catalyst Fragments, but also understated the 5-Star Shards, and was missing the T4B Fragments. We're really sorry about having the wrong information listed, and for the confusion that it caused.

Good to hear rewards not included in this thread's OP compensate the lesser amount of T2AC shards

A great company would say that we made a mistake and let us keep the "extra stuff" and then send out the remaining balance of 2ta that everyone was expecting.

Come on miike, throw us a bone here. You messed up, just give us what you said we’d get.

The difference is negligible to me it’s principal at this point

Fixxx

I knew there'd be a mess-up at some point...

Symbiote difficulty itself is fantastic, the enhancements combined with Underestimate made the sym unrivaled an MVP. If only what we were promised rewards-wise was delivered though... it would've been perfect

Kenshio

this 1 star symbiod and boosts and new difficulty was really fun to play
well done kabam

It would be nice to have someone read mod posts before they go live. Would cut out half to the confusion and mistrust around here.

Or at least have someone blast an in-game message to disseminate any update. Not every one goes to the forum

Apologies if already asked - my symbiod is fully ranked and I have 24 klyntar katalysts sitting in my inventory. Seems like would make sense to be able to convert those to klyntar strands or will these just sit in my inventory with no value? @Kabam Miike

Rockon

maybe we can get those extra klyntar katalysts we cant use into other catalysts?

This buff works, but does not work if anything stacks. It states debuffS, yet Abomination drained every bit of health from my Symbiod after 1 stack

Poison has always slowed down healing. You were better off using Tenacious against him

Abominations description clearly states that poison decreases healing by 30%

@Fixxx the text doesn’t say that. It says heals for 110% for damage over time buffs. It worked for the boss Void who has biohazard on symbiote difficulty.

Poison has always worked that way, regardless

Hey guys am i missing something... i see the strands for Master stated as 270 but i see only 120 in the rewards tab in game. Is this some mistake or have kabam reduced the number of strands received
