Lifecycle, Groot and Roster Wipeout :-\

Hey, i was trying to do the story content post cav, and i came across this node called lifecycle. I was doing just well, until Groot the magnificent wiped my entire roster (i think me relying on parry was a problem).
Is there an easy counter that can put an end to the lifecycle node for good? It becomes difficult to act within the limited max 3 second window when the ai holds block and your heavy gets intercepted...

Another option is to use DOT. Sometimes that little extra will knock them out if you can't get your last combo in.
Otherwise, use lots of specials (for knockdowns) or Doom with his heavies.
I guess, I'll just take the long way.
It is a pretty terrible node to get used to and when it's on Groot specifically, it can be even more tricky since he shrugs debuffs much quicker (makes DoTs less reliable).
In theory, Longshot might work
@mgj0630 that's my roster for reference
2) knock down as often as possible. If you're having trouble with stun window just spam specials to build up to 3 seconds. That's 6 specials if you just can't sneak a heavy in.
3) for goodness sakes use a striker. That's good for long enough of a stun to heavy and sp3 at the end.
4) Make sure the lifecycle icon deactivates before hitting sp3.
You're going to want to figure it out if you have any designs on thronebreaker since this fun guy awaits you:
@SidDDragon are hood and bwcv of no use at all tho? Bcoz then i have to r2-r3 my Chavez and that will take a lot of resources ...plus her playstyle is difficult for me to get adjusted to. But I'll definitely bring her up if that's the way.
@klobberintyme the spirit bar of a striker's take quite some time to fill....and i use them mid fight to gain an advantage, i guess I'll save that for the end instead. Thanks a lot for all of that!
@World Eater unfortunately i have void only as a 3 star.....and i can't cheese these champs with 3 stars, like Lagacy, Swedeah or Seatin :-\
Torch will melt him.
Besides him, some other good options would be any of the buff immune champs like S2099, Titania, or even Red Guardian.
Overseer would also be good.
But more specifically, it depends on the nodes, cause by himself, Sym Supreme is a pretty easy defender to fight. If your asking in relation to a specific piece of content where you're facing him, post a pic of the nodes he has, and you'll get a better answer.
And don't use any champ who is heavily dependent on DoT damage
A few characters who can easily inflict Passive DoT effects, which can be helpful on Lifecycle:
