DOCTRINE
49% win rate as Viscous · 25,992 matches
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. Slow the enemy with Splatter. Save The Cube for yourself or your partner before heavy damage hits.
Move out of Concussive Combustion’s explosion radius when it starts. Stunning Infernus will not stop the countdown, so keep moving out of range.
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. Use Puddle Punch or Goo Ball to separate Infernus from the teammate he is threatening, choosing a route that does not carry you into the enemy team.
