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. Charge Power Slash beside cover. Follow with Flying Slash when your partner can help, saving stamina for the way out.
Move out of Concussive Combustion’s blast before it detonates; Flying Slash does not cancel the explosion. Afterward, use Flying Slash on Infernus only when your teammates can support the arrival. Activate Shadow Transformation before a disable prevents the cast if you need its protection for the sustained fight.
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 Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Infernus. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
