Infernus is one of the easier heroes to play in the game, and honestly, it does pack a lot of power, especially if you reach those late-game moments. Why so? Well, his power comes from Afterburn at first, and then when he gets to a lot of Spirit Lifesteal, basically he transforms into a tank. His Flame Dash is what makes him strong in late game, and combined with the Afterburn, he’s basically invincible as he heals himself like an animal.
