Mephistopheles

[JP]
Mephistopheles as a Caster Servant is a support that focuses in disabling and delaying enemies. He has an NP gauge drain skill and a buff block, and is able to stack curse debuffs to some reasonable extent. This lets him cover a niche as a budget debilitator among the low rarity Servants.

[NA]
Mephistopheles’ performance is severely lacking with his 3rd skill unavailable, so his performance ingame is severely unappealing at this stage.

• NP gauge drain with high chance.
• 3 Time Buff block.
• Decent Curse Stacking.

• Needs upgrade for full potential.
• Low NP damage.
• No survival function.

Mephistopheles is a support that is made for delaying enemies and disabling enemies. One would usually put him in a party with another sustain/healer support, so as to be able to keep him in the field for multiple uses of his skills. Arts teams in general do well with him, as it enables him to spam his NP and stack curse debuffs.

Mephisto’s NP is weak due to his class’s innate multiplier. Despite having an interlude, it only deals 14k at NP5 on neutral enemies. Its secondary effect is casting Curse on an enemy, dealing 500-2500 damage for each turn over 3 turns. While the effect is decent at best, Mephisto deck does allow some decent spammability, which can opens potential in stacking it, along with his 3rd skill.

Witchcraft A / Cooldown: 7-5
Chance to reduce enemy’s NP gauge by 1

A good skill in delaying enemy NPs. It maxes out at 80% chance, but the actual chance for it to hit is 88%, due to Mephisto having an additional 8% increase in debuff rate from his Territory Creation passive.

Innocent Monster B / Cooldown: 7-5
Gain critical stars for each turn (3 turns)
Reduce own defense (3 turns) (Demerit)

This skill doesn’t really help Mephisto’s role, but it’s a decent utility skill to aid your parties. It gives 9 stars per turn at max, which is rather handy. However, it also comes with an 18% reduction in def, so it’s not the most ideal skill as well.

Jester’s Burst of Laughter A+ / Cooldown: 8-6 [Strengthening Upgrade]
Block enemy’s buffs (3 times)
Inflict Curse (5 turns)

A great skill that disables enemies’ buffs for 3 times. It also inflicts curse for 5 turns, which totals to 5000HP damage. It may not be much, but considering how it has only a 1 turn downtime, the enemy would virtually be cursed, which is useful in increasing DPT, as one can also stack it with Mephisto’s NP.

Skill Priority: 3/1/2

Available from the start
Chance to reduce one enemy's NP gauge by 1.

Mephisto comes with a QAAAB deck, which lets him perform his role without depending too much on specific teammates. It lets him fit flexibly with most allies, and allows him to use his NP rather often.
