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 repeated Screwjab Dagger hits on one enemy to increase its damage and slow.

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. Apply Lethal Venom to Infernus, then land a direct Petrifying Bola hit to hold him. Venom can damage him while petrified; save ordinary gun and Screwjab Dagger damage until the protection ends.
