Infernus Build and Counters in Deadlock

Infernus item build

Items grouped by when they are usually bought, with the share of games where the hero buys them and the win rate with the item.

Infernus ability order

Infernus laning phase

Lanes are 2 on 2. The number is the soul lead of the Infernus duo at 15 minutes against this opponent, below it the lead expected from the strength of both heroes. Only lanes clearly off the expected value are shown, across all ranks.

Infernus counters and synergies

The percentage is the win rate of Infernus against the enemy or together with the teammate. The lists show pairs where it is above or below what the strength of both heroes predicts, so a teammate of a weak hero can show less than 50%. Pairs with at least 100 matches are counted. The average win rate of Infernus is 48.0%, compare the percentages in the lists with it.

Infernus story

Like most teenagers; Infernus was wild, rebellious, and impetuous. Unlike most teenagers, Infernus was a creature from another plane and had a supernatural mastery over fire. Needless to say: his youth was filled with no small amount of arson, murder, and evidence disposal. But that was then. Now an adult, Infernus has mellowed out considerably. He's happy working at a bar with good live music, and talking to interesting people. That being said when someone at the bar gets belligerent or violent, he's not afraid to dust off the skills he once honed.
