Fight Randomized Opponents and Buffs in Sinister Labs!

Summoners!

Mister Sinister is continuing his work with genetic modification, and has begun performing experiments on the Champions of the Contest in an attempt to enhance their abilities and further his research!

Log in daily to take on the Sinister Labs Event Quest, and receive items from the Sinister Labs Event Login Calendar including Randomizers and brand new “Sense Boosts” to enhance your own Champions' Abilities (only usable in the Sinister Labs),

Special Solo Objectives are also available this month, and will target the use of Mutant Champions in unique and challenging ways to earn additional Sense Boosts, Randomizers and Gold!

What are Sinister Labs?

Sinister Labs are short quests that consist of 2 paths, each with 6 fights on them. Sounds straightforward? Not exactly… Mr Sinister’s Experimentation has left these encounters unpredictable!

All Fights in these quests will feature a number of Randomized Buffs! Some of these Buffs are more potent on certain Champions, and some may even benefit the Summoner, but don’t be fooled into thinking you can start the fight without reading what you’ll be up against!

Really don’t like the Buffs you’re encountering? You can use a Randomizer to reset them, but that doesn’t guarantee that all of them will be different, or any easier!

This quest uses Entry Limits, meaning Summoners can only enter a 10 times each day across all Difficulties. There are 4 difficulties that can be done daily, each with 2 paths. There is no point in doing any difficulty of the Quest more than twice. You will only receive Completion and Exploration rewards once.

Heighten your Senses!

For the first time ever, we’re adding a new dimension to Lab quests, Senses! Senses are mode specific Boosts that can only be used in Sinister Labs. You can only activate these Boosts from the Quest Map Screen. There are 6 Boosts that Summoners may activate:

Sense: Tactile - When inflicted with any Shock, Coldsnap, Poison or Bleed effect, your Champion builds immunity to the effect over 9 seconds. This time is reduced to 3 seconds while playing as a Mutant.

Sense: Auditory - Incoming Special Attacks have a 20% chance to trigger an Evasion Passive, granting a 100% chance to Evade all incoming attacks for the duration of the Special Attack. The chance to trigger this Passive is increased to 50% while playing as a Mutant.

Sense: Olfactory - All attacks have a 20% chance to deal True Damage, ignoring all of the Opponent's Armor. This chance increases to 50% while playing as a Mutant.

Sense: Visual - While playing as a Mutant, attacks cannot Miss.

Sense: Gustatory - When the Opponent is inflicted with a damaging Debuff, your Champion gains a Regeneration Buff, granting 5% of their missing health over 4 seconds.

Sense: Rage - When playing as a Mutant, while at or below 20% max health, gain a Fury Passive granting 300% increased Base Attack.

Rewards:

Starting Soon!

Sinister Labs will be available on August 7th at 10am PDT, and runs until September 4th! You must update to the newest version of the game before being able to participate.

I just rerolled bad nodes until I could beat them. Went itemless first two runs and used none of the boosts. It does feel like a lot of effort for very few rewards.

GroundedWisdom

Question. With the Node that adds Unstoppable Passive every 10 seconds, is the Timer supposed to run while the Buff is active?

Yep. You've got a severely limited time to do any damage.

Yes. It's literally every 10 seconds and includes the time the unstoppable is active.

GroundedWisdom

Ok. Thanks.

Complete miss on this one Kabam. Too long, too difficult (I mean for the rewards not in itself, even if you consider the whole month), takes too much time. Only good thing is the zero energy cost. The rest, meh...

GroundedWisdom

So I haven't used all the Boosts yet. Hard to say if my feelings will change. Right now, I can see myself bowing out of these without regret. They feel like overkill. That's just my feelings. To each their own.

Crine60

Can anyone report if the bug where exiting after using randomizers resets the buff has been fixed or is still l present since Kabam mods refuse to respond to repeated questions about this?

Spurgeon14

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be after reading the comments in here. It is a lot of fights, but that's the only downside in my opinion. I used the dice a few times to remove some nodes, but I was able to complete without using boosts or revives.

Nojokejaym

I went through epic labs pretty quick tbh

GroundedWisdom

I do feel the need to point out that there's a vast difference between Epic last month and Epic this month. I've maintained for a long time that there should be reasonable consistency with the level you're doing. Some people think there's no need at all, and I respect that's their opinion. However, when you go from 10-11k Champs to 30k+ with random Nodes within the span of a month, that's very confusing for people who know what they can do. People need a reasonable gauge for Difficulty Levels. That's my schpeil.

The whole thing resets after exiting. Opponents, buffs everything. This is a good way to reroll a whole lane but will use up an entry. I did my first path no items or boosts but 2nd path was a mess with multiple opponents with buffs I'd need to reroll, so I exited for a redo.

TheTalents

I agree completely. All other levels seem to be pretty consistent outside of Epic.

Yup totally doable, but I brought in 3 5/65 and couple synergy champs. That's more Cavalier than Uncollected and freezes a lot out of what are very middling rewards to start with.

GroundedWisdom

To be fair, I understand where the dilemma comes from, and they're looking at adding newer Levels for more advanced Players. You have a vast range between UC and Cavalier so it's hard to make something that targets everyone. I just felt inclined to reiterate my point from before.

The bug I was referring to happened after exiting the lab and re-entering (like to buy more items or refill from overflow stash), not quiting and starting over.

They should have added a higher difficulty that included the map 7 and 6:2 nodes I’m sorry uncollected players shouldn’t be expected to be able to deal with this ****

Nojokejaym

I used no boost or items for epic but I did reroll and back out

Kobster84

I used no boost or items for epic but I did reroll and back out

It’s just rng I did 2 runs and got it super easy decided to go in again as I don’t really care for the rewards from other difficulties and bloody hell some of the node combinations only have like 1 or two counters in the entire game

SantaGulk

I can clear Epic without an item or even reroll. However, I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable since I don't want to do it at all because of the miserable amount of reward but I have to pick up those. I start to think why I'm still playing if I'm not enjoying. Interesting

Well I 100% it so I’m good for now until I see something that is impossible to beat I’m chillin

There are some pretty much impossible fights that you will have to reroll for
Such as a green goblin with starburst reflect glancing and clapback

Yup, you're right, completely different thing. I remember this one now, and I did leave for more randomizers, but I hadn't re-rolled any buffs at that point.

Hosemania

Why are there 2 paths to complete this. Bad enough to do this one time but to have to do it twice for minimal rewards is not very smart.

Because people complained about 1 every 12 hours

Yes, I'm pretty sure. I just don't like it.

The stupid thing is that the Epic level looks impossible for your standard Uncollected player, but that's also the only difficulty that has the rewards that we need to GET good enough to beat it. Namely, the all-too-elusive T5BC that is the missing ingredient preventing many of us from maxing out our 5-stars. It's yet another rich get richer situation they've set up here. You cannot beat a line of 30,000 PI champs without 5/65s, yet if we only play the lower levels, we can never get the T5BC needed to rank 5 a 5-star champ.

LeNoirFaineant

Previous versions had RNG rewards. A lot of people complained about that, although I got a lot of t5 basic drops so it was good for me. I guess Kabam decided to fix it by giving everyone the same **** rewards lol. If you do epic every day the rewards will add up but I think it will take more time than the rewards are worth. Double the exploration rewards and add some sig stones or make it 1/2 as long.
