Mephisto

Everyone in Hell hates Saulot’s annoying pet dog: Mephisto. He’s a lazy heavy beast who walks around the place barking, biting everyone, and drooling liquid fire. However, as much as they hate this silly dog, no one stands up to him, because he’s terribly tough and dangerous!

Overview
Mephisto‘s role is mainly to be a Fire Tank. Mephisto has a huge life stat (equal to Dunn Ra) and can use Mega Taunt like other monsters such as Clipeum and Koralle Brutallis. He has 2 AoE Torture moves, Burn and Ignite on one move, and Nightmares on the other, along with 50% Stamina Removal. Mephisto has other decent skills such as Charon’s Pet (which applies Curse and Blind to one enemy, meaning that the enemy’s accuracy is reduced by 50% + removes life and stamina) and Through the Circles (which removes 100% of a single enemy’s stamina). There's a newfound combo between Mephisto and Warmaster Remntar that makes Mephisto literally invincible and is made even more powerful with monsters that use positive effects protection.

Pros:
 * Good trait
 * One of the rare Fire tanks
 * Good stats, especially Life
 * Amazing special: AoE Ignite + AoE Curse + AoE 50% Life Removal
 * Cool design
 * AoE Burn and Ignite + Self Extra Turn
 * AoE Nightmares + AoE 50% Stamina Removal
 * Single Curse + Blind
 * AoE Stamina Leak
 * Self Mega Taunt + Legendaryphobic Shield
 * Single 100% Stamina Removal
 * Low stamina costs

Cons:
 * Some moves have high cooldowns
 * Mediocre speed
 * Struggles against monsters Immune to Torture, since Torture effects are almost all he inflicts at enemies
 * Weak to PER

Mephisto is one of the meta Tanks, and meta tanks tend to use Mega Taunt. The ”You Shall Not Pass” move applies Mega Taunt + Legendaryphobic to itself, meaning that all enemy attacks, including area attacks, will be targeted at only Mephisto and blocks all types of elemental damage except for special skills. Hellfire Bite, one of the moves that doesn’t deal damage, will apply Burn + Ignite to all enemies while gaining an Extra Turn (Once Mephisto gets an extra turn from Hellfire Bite, you can use Mephisto's You Shall Not Pass skill). Sit and Intimidate deals no damage, but will apply Nightmares to all enemies along with a 50% Stamina Removal. Charon's Pet gives Curse and Blind to one enemy, and Hades Fetch deals a nice amount of Fire dmg to all enemies while applying stamina leak to all enemies. Through the Circles will remove 100% of stamina from one enemy.

Recommended Allies
Since Mephisto has a status caster, which is to apply Mega Taunt to itself at the beginning of the battle, it is highly recommended to use a fast control monster with Mephisto. Sunblast is one good example of this. Sunblast can use Possession and CDA (two powerful deny effects) while the opponent is stuck fighting Mephisto. Another example could be Patient Cyber. Cyber is a fast denier who uses Total Blind and CDA to deny, and can also use Nanovirus to blocks positive effects. A third and final example could be Kihaku. Kihaku has a speed that’s a little below 3,500, but Kihaku has multiple Freeze and Possession moves, meaning if a monster is immune to freeze, they’ll be possessed, and if a monster is immune to possession, then they’ll be frozen. Warmaster Remntar is an excellent ally for Mephisto because Mephisto's Legendaryphobic shield combined with Remntar's Special immunity make Mephisto an invincible target, and at the beginning, he will have skill mirror so any special attack would have no effect and be sent back. Combine this combo with any monster that applies positive effects protection such as Neobuki and it's almost a guaranteed win.
