Summary & Playstyle

Human Torch is an explosive duelist specializing in area denial and high burst damage. His flames allow him to control zones, punish grouped enemies, and quickly overwhelm fragile targets. He thrives when he can maintain safe distance and continuously pressure choke points with fire-based zoning. Players should look to position aggressively on flanks where he can spread chaos without immediate retaliation. His AoE potential is strongest in clustered fights, making him deadly around objectives. Human Torch pairs best with vanguards who can hold enemies in place long enough for him to unleash his abilities. His counters are those who can survive his burst or close the gap quickly. Mobile duelists and vanguards with high durability force him to reposition, while ranged strategists with vision control can deny his flanking attempts. With the right setup, however, Human Torch can dominate fights with overwhelming damage.
