I agree with Darthmuffin, and have also been using radiation + viral on my infested Torid build. The Radiation blocks not only the Healer aura, but seems to prevent the Toxic Ancient aoe and Volatile Runners from dealing damage to you when they esplode (if they were irradiated before their esplodey death). I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain most (if not all) aoe-type effects are cancelled/reversed/friendly-fire-is-now-ON! when they are irradiated/confused, which means the MOA's are probably also affected.

The Viral is great for the higher levels because it will halve the hp of all units, meaning your friends (you brought friends, right?) have to fire less bullets to kill them. I put more Viral than Radiation because Viral does slightly more damage to the Ancients (0% penalty compared to 75% penalty from radiation).

Firestorm, 79% status, 4902 Radiation, 10212.5 Viral.
