it's a normal Castle, a truly normal one. Playing as it is, of course, a bit more challenging than playing as the others, but still:
Cerberuses and Ifrit Sultans are the main advantage in terms of units; the rest of the units are quite mediocre. Upgrading a Golem to a Magog is debatable (of course, when defending the Castle, upgraded units are better, but in open-field battles, the basic ones are better because they don't harm your own units). Pit Lords with Demonology are questionable – you still have to sacrifice a stack to raise demons, and you need to find enough fodder for that. Demons with Imps are just cannon fodder. Devils are decent guys...
There aren't any super outstanding heroes; they're all mediocre and well-rounded (the main stats of the heroes are balanced and don't stand out; there aren't any clearly defined mages or warriors; they're all good at everything in moderation).
I think a good tactic would be to capture another Castle or some dwellings and only use Cerberuses, Ifrits, and Devils in your home Castle, and build good units (preferably archers) in the others.
In battle, the tactics are again diverse; there really aren't any clear templates or standards. You need to have a good head on your shoulders and be skilled to play as Inferno, especially online against other players.
Still, most online players think in a standard and template-like way, especially if they specialize in a particular Castle: on this day, they do this, on the next day, they do that; they take this hero first, then that one; they need this special ability, that skill, and so on. But there's none of that here; everything is very flexible. There aren't any heroes that provide a quick start and a good breakthrough, and the Castle itself isn't suitable for fast-paced games or rushes. It also looks sad on small dueling maps. There are players who take Inferno and crush everyone; their gameplay is what you should watch, but they don't seem to be writing anything in this thread or want to share their secrets...
Overall, Inferno requires an approach and skill that I unfortunately don't have, so I'm just expressing my opinion without claiming anything...
