Your game plan as Lash

A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.

How to beat Infernus

A pyromaniac who wins by keeping everyone burning for just a bit too long.

• 01Short trades. Afterburn punishes long ones.
• 02Concussive Combustion can’t be interrupted — walk out of it.
• 03Buy anti-heal and Spirit Resist; most of his damage is spirit.

1. 01Infernus wins the farm by ~29 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Infernus deals most damage with abilities. Trade right after they’ve used their main spell, and consider early Spirit Shielding.
3. 03Your own sustain (Flog) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.

• Lash averages 1.10 kills per death against Infernus.
• Lash finishes 552 souls behind Infernus on average — play for teamfights and scaling rather than lane kills.

• Track Concussive Combustion (190s cooldown). The window right after Infernus uses it is your best time to fight.
