Next Defensive Rankup - Ebony Maw, Mephisto, or Mangog?

Polygon

Mephisto has the least counters amongst mystics that are currently losing their value on defense in BGs due to how stacked the science roster is, as without incinerate immunity he stalls the fight quite a bit

Maw has more counters than the other 2, but he’s almost like Nick Fury in the sense that a lot of champs can take him, but he’s still a dangerous champ if the opponent makes a mistake. If the fury or precision is nullified, or if the opponent mistimes the sp2 dex or takes it to the block they can lose a lot of health. At r2, maws healthpool would be higher allowing for more of a window for error, and his degen would also be higher at R2. Mine is duped at s20, so additional degens from falter.

R2 Mangog unduped

I took mango eggnog straight to r2 after picking him from my necro selector, and he's been an absolute unit. Phenomenal defender and not too shabby on offense if you run cides.

I'm biased cause I've been hunting him since release but its hard not to love this guy😁

R5 Mephisto s200

I feel like Mephisto is a lot harder to counter than Maw honestly. Maw can get whooped by Silk Cassie Titania OG Hulk and other science champs whereas Mephisto, well he can get whooped too but it's not as easy and fast because all these science champs will still take a ton of incinerate damage if they don't keep their distance throughout the fight which stalls a lot. So, for that reason I'm gonna say Mephisto

I think Mephisto takes the top 6* Mystic defender title because of this. That incinerate aura just comes so clutch against an ever so increasing class of 7* champs

It really does, I own a r2 7* Silk and sig 200 Mephisto still stalls so much it's very annoying, and the great thing is there aren't many counters even today, years after his release. Maw on the other hand, 20-30 second fight with Silk no matter what rank he is, and there are waaay more counters than just Silk.
