HOW 2 PLAY

Assuming you already know how to play normal infernus, the goal of exploderman builds (in general) is to transform infernus from a late-game carry, to someone who has more impact early-mid. this build heavily relies on the T3 catalyst rush (which is insane lmao). the T3 catalyst gives you 40% damage amp on everything, which is one of the highest damage amp abilities in the game. combine this with the T2 flame dash, you get yourself a billion damage early-game. you don't even need to actually proc afterburn before you dash, it still does shit tons of damage regardless. i also added some firerate items + QSR because i personally like them. in a perfect scenario, the combo to kill someone from full health is: apply your afterburn and catalyst (order doesn't matter), than press ult while dashing into them. before your ult explodes, charge up an un-parryable heavy melee so that you punch them AND gain a little burst of movement incase they might barely make it out. then, you can coldfront / mystic shot. you can keep spamming mystic shots and catalyst's for infinity damage. feel free to make your own edits to this build. there are also some preference items like toxic and duration if you need them. i generally just run with healbane as i usually have all my actives taken up.

dash conservation

the heavy melee ult is very nice in lane, but please DO NOT use your flame dash boost all the time. i know it's instinct to go as fast as possible by holding down W, but it's probably more value to go slower so that you can conserve your duration for when they get back up from your ult. feel free to hold down W though if they're running away like pussies. If they're already stunned, slow, if they are running away, fast! simple
