You did the right thing. Both is great troops for PvP and Guild Wars. But Infernus adds an additional fun to PvP, and also there is many teams with him. ---

Iā€™m trying to find the most efficient team with him, and the one I posted is the best Iā€™ve got. Iā€™ve tried some Infernal King but they counter act each other too much, I think. ---

I love Infernus! I like to put Famine on defense but Infernus on offense, and offense is much more enjoyable for me. šŸ™‚ ---

Donā€™t have him traited yet, though, so I havenā€™t even thought about teams yet. I like yours, though! Looks very solid! Maybe try Ragnagord in there? ---

Good, because Famine is a jerk on defense and Iā€™m glad I donā€™t have another one to deal with, damn mana stealing fudge face. ---

I found Gorgotha to be more useful than Ragnigord. I played about 20 matches with each, but it could just be luck. I did like Krystenax in there, but have yet to try Shadow-Hunter, Iā€™ll give him a go next I think. ---

Imo, infernus is the most powerful troop in the game. You could put him in with almost any other troops and he can get the win. He can turn a match around with one cast when thereā€™s a storm and often enen when not. Iā€™ve had him for awhile but only recently started using him outside of gw. I was using a dragon team as my main pvp attack for months now, but iā€™ve found that (aside from giving souls) anything tds does, infernus can do better. So i replaced tds on my main pvp team with him and i lose less (not that i lost a lot) and it goes faster. I use krys/krys/inf/sylv. I donā€™t get the synergy bonus like i did but itā€™s still more effective. Rock troll/dark troll/inf/elem is a really fun team i learned of. Flame troll can be a sub if you want an all purple build. Tds/elem/inf/umberwolf (needs all traits) is another that was suggested to me that i have a good time using. I coukd go on. I crafted famine awhile back, and i mostly just use him on defense and for gw. You definitely made a wise choice, he makes life much easier and more fun. ---

Anyone who crafts infernus and doesnā€™t like him is not using him right! šŸ˜ ---

Infernus is going to be nerfed in the upcoming patch in Februaryā€¦ and you will not be getting diamonds via refundā€¦ Only souls and traitstonesā€¦ Bye bye 4,000 diamonds. ---

Source on this? I donā€™t recall any definite plans to change Infernus, only a warning that devs were keeping an eye on the mana gained from explosions. ---

This ^^^^ Even before his slight buff he was good. Theyā€™re watching him but havenā€™t committed to nerfing him. Heā€™s capable of destroying a full team on his own, heā€™s a little op but in the age of average/crap mythics heā€™s the shining light in the darkness. ---
