I’ve been working my way through Act 6.2.1, and I wanted to highlight a few champions that have really helped me counter the Lifecycle node. As you know, Sentinel is one of my favorites, and he’s fantastic for this chapter. So here’s a few fights to show you just how valuable Sentinel is against the Lifecycle node. This particular path has a stun immune node, so you need to rely on heal block to have an easy end to the fight. In addition to the heal block on the SP1, Sentinel has a few other tricks that can help you on this path.
