Mephisto is a Ranged Assassin hero from the Diablo universe. He has impressive AoE damage. Thanks to his Lord Of Hatred Trait, he can significantly reduce the cooldowns on his Basic Abilities. In addition, his chain Abilities make his combos dangerous for the enemy team. However, each Hero has its own weaknesses, and Mephisto has this vulnerability to burst damage. His Shade of Mephisto skill, if used incorrectly or unwisely, is very easy to turn against himself, making him a very easy target for a killer.

Useful Strategies and Tips
Skull Missile Despite the fact that it is quite difficult for them to hit enemy heroes, this skill is great for wave clearing.
Lightning Nova. It takes a bit of practice to effectively deal damage with this skill. Indeed, despite the large radius, only the thin ring on its border deals damage. Therefore, proper positioning and mobility will turn it into a dangerous skill.
Shade of Mephisto temporarily moves Mephisto, and after a short period of time returns to the starting point. You should carefully choose the time to use this skill because if the enemies can get too close to this starting point, it will be difficult to get away from them after returning to their original position.
Consume Souls, this Heroic Ability not only deals damage that allows you to finish off enemies anywhere but also slowing and revealing them. This is a great end-game skill when it is very important to know where the enemy team is. However, due to the long casting time, many heroes will be able to use various skills in order to prevent the received damage, for example, Stasis or shield.
Durance of Hate is good for teamfights if the enemy team is very close to each other. The spreading effect can catch them off guard, however, Consume Souls is much more reliable.
Lord Of Hatred. With high cooldowns on Basic Abilities, this Trait dramatically reduces their cooldowns. Talents such as Shard of Hate, Spite, and Hysteria allow Mephisto to spam his skills in teamfights, which gives him stable damage output.
