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. Hit the enemy with Alchemical Flask before applying Binding Word so the slow makes leaving its area harder. Keep Willpower available for your own protection and movement.

Mid game · Walkers

After Concussive Combustion pops, pin Infernus with Binding Word, then only channel Last Stand on him or the enemies following up from a safe range outside the fire.

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. Slow Infernus with Alchemical Flask, then use Binding Word while they cannot easily leave its area.
