Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Keep shooting exchanges short so Infernus cannot build Afterburn freely. Leave Flame Dash’s burning trail and break his firing line to limit further hits that refresh the burn. Land Barrage hits from a position that lets you get away; each hero hit increases your damage. Save Flying Cloak for the way back to your team.

Mid game · Walkers

Move out of Concussive Combustion’s explosion radius when it starts. Stunning Infernus will not stop the countdown, so keep moving out of range.

Late game · Patron

Spread out and keep a route away from Concussive Combustion. Use protection from stuns before the explosion if you must remain close. Avoid standing in Flame Dash’s trail or letting Infernus refresh Afterburn while you try to finish an objective. Pressure Infernus with Barrage before getting close, then keep Flying Cloak available for a safe exit after your close-range damage.
