Best Mystic BG Defender?

in General Discussion
So I did one of these yday but it wasn’t really a fair one since Mephisto just dominated all the votes. Curious if he still holds out on top in this next group.

Please note, Sasquatch here is only assuming a 6 star and does not count the 7 star.

    Mephisto's good in general if duped,
    Mojo: I don't use him much as a Defender
    Maw's biggest weakness will be a HT
    Sassy is a tank in general
    But my personal fave for this season is Mangog

    If your opponent is bad at remarry

    I always try not to marry my opponent, especially if they're a mystic. I can't imagine seeing Mojo or Mephisto all day. Let alone remarrying one.
    That's a funny typo I did 🤣

    I actually forgot about Mephisto’s power gain, so that makes sunspot iffy against him? Leaving his counters to be mainly just torch and kitty? And valkyrie I assume?

    Void works for him with his incinerate immunity, but not Red Hulk since he absorbs the heat but is receives damage still. Vulture is immune to incinerate I think he gains power from burn damage, and if you time it right thermal feedback on a burning Mephisto deals great damage

    Mojo
    Mojo is so annoying to fight. He's usually just a ban for me. Mephisto can be counted as long as there is an incinerate immune champ

    He's not incinerate immune, but Warlock will shut down his Regen and power gain. He'll spend most of the fight power draining him so you don't have to worry about sp2s triggering aura either.

    Colossus destroys Mephisto. Incinerate aura feeds him armor ups, which in turn gives him insane damage.

    Maw is brutal in this regen meta

    Warlock can handle all the mystics. If you use him well they will always be below a bar of power.
  • PolygonPolygon Member Posts: 5,179 ★★★★★
    While it may be true that theres a lot of incinerate immune champs listed above (colossus, void, vulture) etc, the focus of this thread is for BGs and a lot of those champs id say arent as viable or fast (with some exceptions based on the specific meta nodes).

    But nodes aside ,the main counters (that dont inflict incinerate themselves) for mephisto seems to be less than for the other champs listed here.

    Like you could just use AA or a powerful science champ like spot, scorpion, 7 star hulk or overseer, maybe even a Qs for sasquatch or mojo, and probably for maw as well , with just reparrying. But these science champs would get delayed significantly by having to wait out a high sig Mephisto’s regen

    Wong is a legit pain in butt this meta. Cassie has been banned a lot. Don't sleep on Mordo either even though he's not in too many decks.

    Have to be very careful with Colossus, as the expiring armour buffs can feed mystic dispersion at a bonkers rate.

    What makes her good for him? I took Cassie out of my deck as she feels too slow

    Sasquatch is armor break immune, but i can see him being good for some like chavez that aren’t tanky. Might r4 my warlock, anyone else use him for offense regularly (outside of the current meta)?

    Isn't mephisto a joke against Kitty? One straight sp-2 and toast.
