"You Dark Ages people… no fun, with your rigid rules of good and evil. Look at all these heroes, they know the game… they fight each other with abandon, changing sides on a whim. Such violence and betrayal…"
—Mephisto[src]

Mephisto is a Mystic Champion. Being a Mystic Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Cosmic Champions, but is weak to Science Champions.

Bio[]

Mephisto is an extra-dimensional demon whose main goal is to break the will and enslave the souls of noble Champions; though he cannot take their souls himself, his treachery and deception is often enough to convince his victims to give them up willingly. Mephisto is continually seeking to add more spirits to his realm, using them to his advantage whenever he sees fit. As a demon who has collected numerous souls, Mephisto is practically immortal and his fiery power is eternal.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Alliance Wars Defense
    • Mephisto is designed to be the ultimate Alliance Wars Defender, both because of his Regeneration ability based on Souls and his Aura of Incineration. Pairing him up with Dormammu will provide both Champions a very good boost against Energy Damage over time effects like Magik’s Limbo. Be careful about feeding Mephisto’s Persistent Soul Charges!
  • Hyperion
    • Soul Imprisonment activates for free at the start of each fight. This means Hyperion won’t be able to activate his Power Gain buffs, possibly for the entire fight if you use Mephisto’s Special 1.
  • Black Widow
    • Against an awakened Mephisto, Black Widow will not be able to use her passive ability accuracy as Mephisto is immune to it.

Weaknesses[]

  • Quake
    • Concussion Debuffs will be really useful against Mephisto, they will reduce the activation accuracy of both his Regeneration and Aura of Incineration, plus there’s a class advantage against Mystics.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Courage & Greater Strength & Recovery
    • Increasing Mephisto’s overall attack will enhance his Aura of Incineration damage output and Recovery will enhance his Regeneration based on Souls.
  • Liquid Courage 
    • Liquid Courage will enhance his attack by a max of 30% and not deal any Poison damage to Mephisto since he is immune to Poison.
