So I just used my Mephisto vs a Dr. Voodoo . and noticed Dr. Voodoo got his regen at the start of the fight .
Isn't Mephisto supposed to stop this?
I found this thread:

but there wasn't any followup by Kabam on it ..
Just wondering how this is all supposed to work ?

And no, no nodes affecting this ...
(it's the Dr. Voodoo in first map on Epic side quest .. East gate ... Toxic nodes, and such .. but nothing affecting AAR on either side)
I can send a screenshot/quick video if you want
It's like a mini force of will node inbuilt in his kit.
Symbiote Supreme even nullifies all of Venom's buffs at the start of the fight and gains power from MD, unless again he's on a node that could modify your nullifying abilities.
I was stupid enough to use Venom against pilfer node once, back in the day (probably in V1 or V2) and even that nullified all of my buffs and gave my opponent a bunch of power. A big *bruh* moment lol.
Champs like Longshot, Archangel, Old Man Logan and Doctor Voodoo have abilities that can enable this, and are therefore (probably) working as intended.
Red Skull is supposed to have significantly (but unquantified) raised Ability Accuracy, but always starts with zero armour. He should usually start with at least some of his five stacks.
Awakened Thor is supposed to very slowly develop increased ability accuracy for his Fury effect; but it triggers 100% of the time even if you parry-stun him in the first second of the fight.
Conversely, as you have said, Venom shouldn't proc any of his buffs at the start because he doesn't have increased Ability Accuracy; but he does.
Interestingly, since I made that thread, they seem to have partly fixed it (although nothing is noted in the Changelog): Soul Imprisonment does now seem to stop him generating new buffs after the beginning of the fight, including it now stops the Klyntar buff from refreshing.
It's either Mephisto or SymSupreme with bugged interaction.
If you fix one, other will fail.
hopefully they find a better way of handling it .. but thanks for explaining existing stuff for me . makes more sense now
