Mephisto

By:
Last Updated:

Many claim that Mephisto is the most intelligent of the Prime Evils. It is said that Mephisto was most adept at pitting his brothers against each other. Diablo and Baal chafed at his manipulations, but more often than not they complied. Deckard Cain speculated that this was because Mephisto provided them with ample opportunities to pursue their ambitions. Perhaps because of this, Mephisto is seen by some to be a unifier and great tactician.

It was Mephisto's greatest ambition to pit entire societies against each other, to turn brother against brother, to seed discord and distrust wherever he could. Mephisto viewed hatred as a tool, though one to be wielded with precision.

Mephisto is an 'anti-mage' that suppresses the potency of nearby enemy heroes. His role isn't to deal damage as much as it is to sap the ability of enemy spellcasters to deal theirs. Mephisto has a very small health pool and must empower it by designating enemies as his Nemesis. By marking an enemy as his Nemesis Mephisto is able to feed off of their hatred, rendering them harmless to him for a short time.

Think of Mephisto as a 'suppression turret' who attempts to neuter his enemies long enough for his team to take them out.

Combat Trait

Seething Hatred

Enemy heroes within Mephisto's vision radius have their ability power reduced by 5%

Primary Abilities

Loathe

Channel a medium range beam of pure hatred that damages enemies it hits every second. 4 second cooldown after channel is canceled.

Every time Loathe damages an enemy hero it increases the effect of Seething Hatred on that target by an additional 5%. This bonus is lost after 2 seconds of not being refreshed.

Nemesis

Designate the target enemy hero as your Nemesis, marking them and dealing low damage to them every second. While you have a target marked with Nemesis your current and maximum health is increased by 50%. Lasts 10 seconds. 12 second cooldown.

Enemy heroes marked with Nemesis deal 100% less damage to Mephisto. This decays at the rate of 10% per second.

Abhor

Push back all enemies in a small circle around you. They cannot reenter this circle for the duration of Abhor. Lasts 2 seconds. 14 second cooldown.

Heroic Abilities

Durance of Hate

After a short delay imprison an enemy hero at the target location for 3 seconds. 50 second cooldown.

An enemy hero that is imprisoned is in stasis, but also emits a small aura that reduces the ability power of their nearby allies by 50%.

Council Of Zakarum

Summon a circle with three corrupted Zakarum Priests at a target location. Lasts 1 minute or until the Zakarum Priests are killed. 100 second cooldown.

While the Council Of Zakarum is active it functions as a Hall Of Storms for Mephisto. He is able to hearth to and respawn at that location. While within the radius of Council of Zakarum he heals at the same rate of the Hall Of Storms.

Mephisto toggles his hearth/rez location between the Council or the Hall by pressing R while Council Of Zakarum is active.
