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.

Went through that for a freaking Winter Soldier I already had duped twice, what a waste

Thanks for the Epic version for Event Quest. I could 100% explore with the help of sumbiote and get quite plenty of 6* shards for the very first time.

About to make a run at the Epic difficulty, but based on what I'm reading it doesn't seem like the Symbiote difficulty is worth it. Am I wrong in that assumption? Lots of basic 5*'s nobody seems to want.

It's a pretty easy way to get a t4cc and a 5* featured. Epic is tougher compared to symbiote

Good to know, might skip Epic and just finish out Symbiote. Thanks!

Hi Summoners!

October was a really fun month for The Contest and we are so glad that you enjoyed your time with your Symbioids! We loved them as well and are sad to see them go...

We’ve appreciated all the feedback and we’ve shared it all with the team.

Month over month, our Live Events group comes up with some really amazing events for our Summoners. Each October in the past 3 years, the team has run mode-specific boosts. This year they wanted to do something different by giving you a blank slate that you could use to customize. October was also Symbiote focused so My Little Symbiote was the result.

Through the execution of this blank slate approach, we realized it needed a few more tools to be able to reliably execute it over the long term. The My Little Symbiote event was developed with this in mind as short-term, fun content. To make the Symbioid a permanent addition, there would have been many other considerations and development resources which couldn’t be fit into the timeframe for this event.

We’ve heard that you’ve loved your little guys, and while the team makes no promises, it’s not out of the question that something similar could be run in the future.

As noted at the beginning, we’ll be removing the little guys from everyone’s roster after the My Little Symbiote event is over. Soon after the event ends, we’ll give you the opportunity to sell the Symbiote before it’s removed forever, so make sure to do so.

Please let us know your feedback about what improvements we could make, should a similar event come back again.

“At the beginning”? Does that mean when the new event quest starts?

U know I didn't realize the huge favor kabam did by giving us the 1* symbioid cause with him I could play epic and sym difficulty, of course he still takes damage and then I get to use my normal champs and since neither my regular champs and myself are good enough to play those difficulty, mainly because I can't play perfect every fight which is what this game makes u do to progress, I should really just thank kabam for allowing me to spend a ton of units (and possibly cash) buying revive and potions, wow thank u kabam ur to generous and thoughtful, as seen with the Halloween calender this month.

With a little bit of patience collecting strands from the labs and doing the easier difficulties of the EQ so as to rank your symbiote you could’ve completed the epic and symbiote difficulty with minimal potions and revives and units, as a lot of us did. In the 8 months I’ve been playing this is BY FAR the most fun I’ve had, and satisfied with the rewards, doing a monthly and I’m going to miss it. Don’t be mad at Kabam because you’re not that good...

KelvinKage

Not always a fan of your decision making but you all knocked this one out of the park. Credit where it’s due. Great Job Kabam.

Maybe you guys could release a champion with the exact same moves and specials as the symbiote in one of the months, because that's one of the main reasons i like him. Very smooth animations, easy to intercept when using him

NikoBravo

So what’s the going sale price for my Symbiote?

Piviot

I don’t know how to hashtag ppl but if you not gonna do anymore event quests(which involve the symbiot) is it safe to sell (do we get title now)

rogueKlyntar

When does he leave? I am on the road with no good net access. I dont wanna miss the title.I wouldprefer to know ahead of time and not be dissapointed.

A dinky little Hospitable Host title, complete with dippy alliteration and no cred value.

As far as getting a good champ, it's all RNG. But, with the boosts and your symbiote it is really easy.

SharkyD

what will you get for selling your symbiote on the 7th of november?

@SharkyD you get a title. That's it. There is a Helpful Unbiased Poll on the subject here:

Snurris

What has happened @Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra the strands are not any longer available in the store. Why remove the strands before the event ends? Can’t find anywhere that the strands are going away earlier. Now I’m short 60 strands for exploring symbiote. And tonight I can only earn 20. So all the hard work and units for nothing. 😢

SharkyD

thanks for the info

@Kabam Miike hey, will the symbiote remain in our account as low 1* or will it disapear like you posted? Please tell us clear!

Symbiod neutered ....

You have the opportunity to sell your Symbiote but if you don't do so it will eventually disappear from your roster.

Thank you for the answer!

Can we get a title if we don’t sell maybe? Something like “I’m not a monster”? But seriously, why no title for not selling, like gotg and mephisto events.
