'''Infernus''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is an [[Ixia]]n with a powerful control of flame that he uses to enhance his speed and ignite his enemies. Combining his '''[[Infernus#Flame Dash|Flame Dash]]''' with the ability to spew a '''[[Infernus#Napalm|Napalm catalyst]]''', Infernus can chase down and ignite his foes with a deadly '''[[Infernus#Afterburn|Afterburn]]'''. Any targets left standing will be subject to his explosive '''[[Infernus#Concussive Combustion|Concussive Combustion]]''', knocking them out and leaving them vulnerable to further immolation.

As a second-generation immigrant from Ixia, Infernus had a troubled and intense youth while he was raised in New York. Despite a rash of organized crime as a teenager, he found himself tending a bar in his adulthood and learning to calm his intense emotions. With quality music and interesting people to talk to, Infernus rarely has a need these days to call up his dangerous supernatural abilities.

{{AbilitySection

|notes=
* Does 50% damage to objectives.
* Enemies who step off the trail will continue to receive damage for '''{{DataProp|Flame Dash|AuraLingerDuration}}s''' due to lingering mechanic.
** The duration cannot be shortened with [[Debuff Resist]] ({{ItemIcon|Debuff Reducer}} etc).
** This can be dispelled e.g. via {{ItemIcon|Dispel Magic}}.
* The player can hold "Move forward" (<code>W</code>) to move faster or "Move Left" / "Move Right" (<code>A</code> / <code>D</code>) to strafe while dashing. Moving back, dashing, sliding or jumping is disabled during the cast.
* The player is not silenced and can cast other abilities (e.g. {{AbilityIcon|Napalm}}) or items (e.g. {{ItemIcon|Warp Stone}}) without breaking Flame Dash.
** Activating {{ItemIcon|Majestic Leap}}, {{ItemIcon|Ethereal Shift}} or {{ItemIcon|Refresher}} interrupts Flame Dash.

* Duration is refreshed by 0.5s for body shots and 1s for headshots.
* Afterburn's [[Build-Up]] is affected by distance falloff. For example: if you are at a distance where you would do 50% damage due to distance falloff, a body shot will build up half as much afterburn as normal. Refreshing the ongoing burn, however, is '''not''' affected by distance falloff.
* A light [[melee]] has {{DataProp|Afterburn|AutoIntrinsicModifiers.1.LightMeleeBuildUp}}% Afterburn build-up. A heavy [[melee]] has {{DataProp|Afterburn|AutoIntrinsicModifiers.1.HeavyMeleeBuildUp}}% build-up.
* Afterburn ticks every half-second, for half its DPS each tick.
* [[Debuff Resist]] interactions:
** Does not affect the build-up in any way.
** Does reduce the initial base duration and the maximum duration.

| notes =
* A burning ring surrounds Infernus during the delay part of cast. It shows ability's range and is visible to both allies and enemies.
** It does not require line of sight on Infernus to be seen.
** Being invisible (e.g. {{ItemIcon|Shadow Weave}}) hides the ring from enemies. Being revealed (by stepping too close or being damaged) reveals the ring too.
