Dumbest way to die in Symbiote Difficulty

So I'm nearing the end of my plow through of Symbiote difficulty, and I still have over a thousand strands. So I decide rather than sit on them, I'll just buy *everything* and use it all to blast through the last map. Which goes amazingly well for the most part, until I get to Symbiote Supreme. And then blam, dead. Huh, that's odd. I revive the Sym and go again. SS uses his SP3 on me again, and I survive again, I start attacking and then poof, I'm dead again. Okay, I must be doing something wrong here. I close the app and restart just in case its something funky, and then revive and go again. Looks good, I start attacking and dead again. Now I'm really [removed by moderation], and I decide something must be wrong, and maybe there's a funny interaction between all those symbiote buffs I'm using. Let's see, cauterize is fine, cracking blow is okay, I can't see anything wrong with running Frenzy, or In for the Kill, or Purge. Power Start 1 seems okay, I don't see the harm in running Momentum...
Yeah, don't run Momentum against Symbiote Supreme.

Also, when you use Undying to tank the L3s of Vision or SS... and they just dodge back and block until the Indestructible ends, and THEN they use their special.
Yep that happened to me once too.
Momentum is problematic but Frenzy gives Precision after an L1 as well. The only enhancements I had against SS were Cauterize, Undying, and Frenzy, and after activating an L1 my symbioid died
Least you might finish unlike me lol
What is needed for Electro?
The obvious symbiote buff to use here is Unknown Enemy, which if memory serves gives defensive ability accuracy reduction. You could also use Cleanse which allows you to drain his power by holding block (i.e. no need to worry about avoiding his SP1 anymore). If want the quick kill and have the strands, go for Cut Deep, Total Carnage, Power Start 1, Frenzy, and Undying. You'll start the fight with one bar of power and also be completely immune to damage for the first five seconds. Parry and use SP1, then attack for however long he's still alive. He might not live long enough for you to make it to the end of your first combo.
I just used indestructible and got like 5-6 bleeds on him. I think I lost 15% health in the end but that was it. Used indestructible for most fights. I think that's what I used to take out Abomination also.
He was using buff heavy champs (the Sym was only R2) and I kept hearing him yell "PILFERED, What the hell is that???" as well as some words a 12 yr old really shouldn't utter, I think he gets that from his mother because I sure as **** don't swear.
I couldn't work out what was happening but I heard it a dozen times before he mumbled 'im going outside...."
Not really registering the connection I took Angela, SW, Crossbones, X23 and Sparky and my evade game is strong.
Now I know what the **** he was talking about.
That doesn't work, it's passive degen, not degen debuff. Recoup boost would work on cable's degen, but not dorm's
I believe it didn't work with abom and sw poisons as well. also it doesn't say "active dot debuff", does it? (it doesn't, I just checked) it's passive, but it's still dot debuff. simple as that. it doesn't correspond description, just like gulk doesn't get face me active from life transfer node even while getting passive dot, or like it's said nowhere in the game that ultron's armor up activates some aar even though I've seen something like that on forum, or magik sp2 power steal mechanics never describer in game in details.
Started fight, didn't bother to track spore stacks, just attacked.
Recoup didn't help.
I died.
I didn't realize how wrong I was and I obviously had to use one revive.
