Overview

This build was created by RinaVX. To find it in game, search for "Mobalytics - Leech Tank Infernus by RinaVX"

Infernus is a well rounded character with a lot of options to help move and deal damage due to his passive and wide AoE stun. His hit and run tactics of applying burns will quickly melt opponents, and once we add some tank items and lifesteal he will never die during intense teamfights and take over the game!

Early Game

  • We will want to get Basic Magazine first and Restorative Shot to help maintain our presence in lane.

  • Our goal is to apply our passive on our opponent to burn them out of the lane and take priority.

    • Once we apply our passive it is important to refresh our passive by flame dashing over them or shooting them again. Headshots apply our passive faster so it's important to do that.

  • Ammo Scavenger is now really strong, due to recent buffs and since it works on jungle camps, we will greatly benefit from its increased Spirit and Magazine Size.

  • This is why we just follow up our first buy with effective tanky items to help stay in lane.

Buy all $500s before the next category (Extra Regen first if the lane is brutal). Ignore or sell Regen if you're doing well.

Mid Game

  • Buy Duration Extender first to both extend the uptime of your passive and Flame Dash.

  • Next buy Toxic Bullets as it has perfect synergy with our dot playstyle and allows us to kill the heavy camps and scale up.

  • Since most of Infernus’s damage comes from his passive and Toxic Bullets, we just continue to buy cost effective defensive and utility items like Suppressor.

Late Game

  • Leech is the best item we can get as it gives us both spirit and a massive amount of lifesteal to maximize our sustain. This synergizes with your Healing Booster for a whopping 54% spirit lifesteal and 44% bullet lifesteal!

  • Remember to sell your $500 items to make room for the bigger items at this stage.

Situational Items + Luxury Items

  • Soul Shredder, Boundless Spirit, and Ricochet have great synergy but are luxury items, we can buy them alot later to fill our slots later if we have the resources.

  • As always , Debuff Reducer/Debuff Remover to help deal with dots or cc’s. (Pocket' Ult, Seven’s Stun, Bebop' Bomb, Vindicta's Tether/Crow).
