   7. 7

   2. 2

      Leech

      Built from Spirit Lifesteal

      This build was initially a Flame Dash focused build so I had included Infuser. But now that this a hybrid build, Leech is a better option.

   3. 3

      Crippling Headshot

      Landing headshots is very easy with Infernus's weapon. You will almost cripple your opponents once you land a HS.

      Infuser

      Built from Spirit Lifesteal

      Infuser > Flame Dash. Get Leech if you don't like Active items. You get this before other damage items because you will be diving straight on enemies with your Ult. So you need huge survivability.

   9. 9

      Burst Fire

      Built from Rapid Rounds

      You shoot like a maniac after hitting a single shot on your opponent. Makes proccing Afterburn a childs play. Stacks with Spiritual Overflow.
