MysticD tier

Is Mephisto good?
Mephisto is built to be a strong Alliance Wars defender through Soul-based regeneration and his Aura of Incineration, and he pairs well with 
Dormammu against Energy damage-over-time effects. A free Soul Imprisonment at the start of every fight denies 
Hyperion's Power Gain buffs for the whole fight when he opens with Special 1, and he's immune to passive Ability Accuracy reduction, which shuts down 
Black Widow, 
Crossbones and 
Falcon's Signature tricks entirely.
Concussion debuffs like 
Quake's lower his Regeneration and Aura activation chance (and Quake has Class Advantage on top), 
Blade's Danger Sense does the same, and 
Anti-Venom's Incinerate Immunity combined with Petrify and Spectre negates his Regeneration and Auras outright. D tier for a strong defensive specialist that a handful of champions counter completely.
Pairs well with: Dormammu.

Background
Mephisto is an extra-dimensional demon whose main goal is to break the will and enslave the souls of noble Champions; though he cannot take their souls himself, his treachery and deception is often enough to convince his victims to give them up willingly.
Mephisto is continually seeking to add more spirits to his realm, using them to his advantage whenever he sees fit.
As a demon who has collected numerous souls, Mephisto is practically immortal and his fiery power is eternal.
