Mars relies on Spear of Mars to skewer a hero into a tree, building or cliff for a stun, then Arena of Blood to wall the fight in. Bulwark blocks physical attacks from the front and sides and Break disables it, so attacking from behind or breaking him removes his durability. Dauntless adds regeneration when he is outnumbered, which healing reduction answers.
Counter items
