Best lane mates
These partners work well with this hero. Percentages show recorded match win rates for each pairing, not lane wins.
- 01DynamoKit pairDynamo’s control gives Infernus time to land the bullets that build Afterburn. Infernus can follow Singularity with Concussive Combustion if he starts its countdown early enough to reach the held enemies.51.6%
- 02SevenPower pairAlso an opponentSeven can send Lightning Ball through contested ground and use Static Charge to threaten a delayed stun. Focus the marked enemy when safe, while staying ready for them to move away from the ball.53.6%
- 03HazeSleep Dagger gives the pair time to prepare an attack. Coordinate your damage because the target wakes shortly after being damaged, then help Haze keep bullets on the same enemy.50.6%
- 04McGinnisPower pairAlso an opponentTurrets add damage around the area McGinnis defends, and Spectral Wall can restrict enemy routes. Fight where the setup supports you while keeping a route around the wall for your own retreat.53.4%
- 05KelvinPower pairKelvin’s beam slows enemies and reduces their fire rate, making a shared target easier to pressure. Stay where his healing can help without grouping so tightly that one disable catches both players.52.9%
Worst lane opponents
These opponents present different threats in lane. Percentages show this hero’s recorded match win rate against each opponent, not lane wins.
- 01VictorHard counterVictor can sustain a close fight while Infernus builds Afterburn. Apply damage from outside Aura of Suffering when possible and leave before the aura’s damage builds too far.44.1%
- 02GravesHard counterGraves’s summons can distract Infernus from applying Afterburn to her. Clear the ones threatening your route, then shoot Graves from outside Grasping Hands.44.3%
- 03LashHard counterLash can reach Infernus from above and displace him with Death Slam. Keep space for Flame Dash after the control ends; Grapple itself does not pull Infernus or remove Afterburn.46.3%
- 04SevenSoft counterAlso a strong mateGo around Lightning Ball and separate from a teammate marked by Static Charge before its stun. Use solid cover against Storm Cloud, or interrupt Seven from safety while he is vulnerable to control.45.5%
- 05McGinnisSoft counterAlso a strong mateClear turrets covering the route you need. If Spectral Wall blocks that route, break it with melee when safe or go around. Avoid trading shots while several turrets can hit you.47%
