He is sort of immune. He does get incinerated, but instead of taking damage, he gains power. However, he still gets his block proficiency reduced and he isn't immune to nova flames.
He immune to incinerate damage and to incinerate debuffs.
Unfortunately he's not immune to 'Nova flames', which are completely different and in no way burn you to death.
By contrast: 1 - Rulk is immune to Incinerate debuffs; but only builds up resistance to localised Incinerate effects (like Mephisto's aura) with Heat charges after being Awakened.
2 - Vulture absorbs Incinerate debuffs, but takes normal damage from localised Incinerate effects; he can't resist the damage, but does gain Power from them if Awakened.
That isn’t a nova flame though that’s a pure incinerate, nova flames are a purple passive
It also does not show him taking damagfe from it. I think the OP is talking about getting the debuffs, which he will. Mephisto is till ba bad counter though because of nova flame.
Also check the fact that all mystic champ attacks get “counted” as energy damage, which raises torch’s temperature. Definitely a good mystic killer... he surprised me too when I took Mephisto in and died in seconds 🤣

Unless I'm misunderstanding that, he should be "immune" as he shouldn't take any damage.
