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.
Enough talking, let’s see the build below:
