Duelist

Flier

Human Torch functions as a flier Duelist built around aerial pressure, flame fields, and area denial. His value comes from controlling space with Blazing Blast, connecting fire zones with Pyro-Prison, and overwhelming teams during Supernova. He fits poke and control comps that want vertical pressure, objective burn, and anti-ground zoning.

Strengths

True free-flight gives strong vertical angle control
Excellent objective and choke denial through flame fields and Pyro-Prison
Can pressure grouped enemies without needing direct line-up headshots
Supernova creates huge burn zones and forces teams to scatter or retreat
Flaming Meteor gives burst repositioning, AoE damage, field detonation, and bonus health
Strong into grounded brawl teams that must cross predictable lanes
Pairs well with shields, portals, damage boosts, and crowd-control ultimates
Can punish low-mobility supports and tanks from difficult vertical angles

Weaknesses

Low health makes hitscan and sniper pressure extremely dangerous
Weak when forced into open air without cover or support sightlines
Projectile spread and falloff reduce long-range pick consistency
Flame field value depends on enemy pathing and map geometry
Pyro-Prison requires setup and can be avoided if fields are poorly placed
Season 7.5 Plasma Body is more predictable and charge-based, making bad movement timing easier to punish
Struggles into strong hitscan, anti-air, hard poke, and disciplined spread formations
Ultimate can be outhealed, escaped, or denied if used without setup
