    Years back I made a prediction that Hellcat would be Hela's feeder based solely on the idea that the name had the word "Hell" in it.

    I was wrong then but now's my time to shine!

    Hellcat. Because I know nothing of comics Mephisto and she has "Hell" in her name

    I mean devil dinosaur has devil in his name so i guess i'll guess him then

    Finally a character who really punishes healers. I’m glad I horded my CP. I really like this guy’s kit.

    Also, I’m gonna make a guess that morbius will feed Mephisto.

    The most obvious ones are characters who already feed themselves - Ghost Rider and Doctor Doom (Mephisto had the soul of Doom's mom.) Almost all other Supernatural characters already have good thematic feedees, the only ones who don't are Blade and Morbius. I'd say either of those are possible.

    Interestingly enough, though, Mephisto is connected to a lot of characters. I went through his Wiki. He's had Mockingbird's soul for a while, turned Coulson into a villain, made a deal with Peter Parker ("One More Day," augh!), worked with Thanos, dealt with an alternate Punisher, and many, many others. They're not starved for choices...

    My first thought was pairing her with 3* Kamala Khan. His cheap powers would trigger her team heal all the time & give an outlet for green. Her purple could match some of his hellfire tiles, too. Maybe Riri for the 3rd & use the cheap green to stun instead?

    Oh good, a cp store with Dr. Strange in it. I was getting worried when we hadn't had one in a couple months.

    I realize you're being sarcastic but there's one going on right now.

    I find this very disappointing - at this point there are a ton of supernatural people they could have put in his stead.

    5 star strange all day, every day.

    I'd like to try him with Kaine and Nova. Kaine for the random massive bursts of permanent damage, and Nova for the random bursts of healing.

    Having said that...I wonder if he could get supercharged by She-Hulk with gamma rays...

    My guess for feeder would be Purple Man.

    Maybe the new 4* Ghost Rider that they're going to release in a couple of weeks.

    Maybe we will get a 4* Blackheart! For what it’s worth I also read that healing power as any character getting healed.

    I see him working well with anyone dealing permanent damage (i.e magik/kaine?), his enemy burst heal will be mitigated by that and if you have someone dealing out a lot of heals his black is gonna scale very quickly

    The enemy burst heal is meant to power up his black ability if you're not facing a healer. If you bring someone who does permanent damage, the enemy won't burst heal, and you won't power up his black.

    Wong could give him strikes and the supernatural % boost.

    Does reviving count as healing? Or does the character ability specifically have to say "burst of health" or "heals health"

    His feeder has to be Blade right?

    I really hope so. My dupe just got to 300.

    I would not expect a revive to count as a heal, I associate healing with any time the character’s bar goes green. The question in my mind is whether damage avoiding characters whose bar turns green when hit as if they were receiving an equal amount of damage to what is received will be affected.

    Does it count dodging as healing since the health bar lights up? If it does I imagine it's unintentional but depends on how it's coded & would increase his value a little.

    My question is when in the healing process does this trigger? Is it the outgoing amount of the heal, or only the amount the healed character receives? Basically, does his black count overhealing?

    It would only be a small amount, but there are a few supports that increase healing received as well. Do those get added to his black as well?

    It will I think because mephisto reduces the max health and then burst heals.... ?

    I'd assume it's for the amount received if it's a true heal ; but that's not as obvious for burst heal since it technically lets you "overheal" (you see the full amount even if you heal for less).

    I'd also guess anything that pops a green number counts as a heal, whether its ironmay boost, some rez, a support healing (pizza dog for exemple). And while May parker 5* life flashes when she dodges, it makes no green numbers so it shouldn't do anything.

    PS : Crystal or 3a5 kamala partner? Since the heal reduction affects both allies and enemies, feed it yourself too

    He looks ok. I'm not as high on him as other in the thread, but he will fill a specific niche nicely.
    Not someone to build around, but another tool on the belt to attack specific problems.

    His blue basically gives you 4500 damage each turn, and potentially more on match.
    Really though, you want to let him cook (no pun intended) for a few turns to spread his fire so it doesn't fizzle out too fast.

    Also, it looks like hellfire is another unique tile type. I wonder if they will be locked to those who create them or open to both teams.

    I think he would be great with Crystal and Kain. He would also murder opposing Crystals, but she doesn't show up a lot any more.

    535 build since you don't get anymore turns for the stun.
