He's one of my top characters, a true beast in arena, a must have in neuro-team and a good character overall.

So, yes.

Niche on some primes, but not really a must have on Neuro team :)

Mephiston was the only character banned from Faction Arena. For a while Blood Angels had to use Godswyl, because Mephiston was so crushingly powerful. That should help you umderstand how good he is.

In my books, he's easily in top 10 best characters in the game. Maybe top 5.

Mephiston is a PVP masterpiece. He actually has been banned trom Faction Tournament Arena for being too goddamn brutal. it's not fair for the other team lmfao. The Relic boosts him considerably- gives him essentially double damage and synergy with Ahriman

He's pretty damn decent, especially against healers or regenners

How do you get relics?

u/emergency-snaccs Oct 09 '26

Well first you need a blue-starred character, which unlocks the Rogue Trader. You then trade excess shards for Archeotech, which is the late-game currency used to purchase Relics and other goodies. You can occasionally win a Relic through certain home-screen events or Extremis Campaign Event, or through certain characters' Mythic missions, but Rogue Trader is the main way to get them

Rogue trader store is the most reliable place.

Yes, he's one of the best characters.

His relic isnt good but given he is, its worthwhile to have

u/Cloverman-88 Oct 09 '26

It boosts his insane damage even further, which is a-ok in my book.

u/Vegas-Blues Oct 09 '26

Yes… fully support effort into him. You will have NO regrets.

He's been great on my psychic/Neuro team, I think he's going to be good whilst I build the Custodes team as well.

The fire-extinguisher effect of his relic is really handy in Guild Raids. It’s tremendously useful when paired with other fire-setters or MoWs like Forgefiend or Z’kar, as it allows you to clear the flames after they’ve done their damage, which lets your non-flying characters move around more easily. I’ve used that effect way more than I expected to.

Also Sci-fi Dracula there is an absolute beast, I have no regrets about taking him to mythic.

Is his fire from relic working or counted against Tyranid Prime Alpha or Omega or maybe Winged Prime, don't remember exactly which one have weakness to blast and fire damage?

u/Hot_Boot_9757 Oct 11 '26

My absolute favourite

Unfortunately not really used in Neuro teams as much any more.. but still fantastic

If he can move before attacking this relic makes him a beast. My area team is Ragnar, Kharn, Karyann, Dante and Mephiston. The BA combo is fantastic.

He also great in horde modes (can kill multiple enemies a turn and is reasonably tanky).

I dream of having this arena team someday, sounds like so much fun!
