Mars Counters (7.41)
Who counters Mars in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Mars is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Mars is an arena-control initiator whose Spear of Mars pins heroes to terrain and Arena of Blood walls off a fight to isolate the enemy carry. He's strong into immobile heroes the Spear can pin: Timbersaw (52.0%), Gyrocopter (51.6%) and Nature's Prophet (51.6%) get speared and bursted. Mars is hard-countered by carries who out-damage him inside his own Arena: Spectre (37.5% — one of the lowest matchups in the game) Haunts and Dispersions him to death, while Lifestealer (39.0%), Wraith King (39.7%) and Riki (39.9%) shrug off his control and crush him. Draft tip: Mars walls off squishy back lines, but never pick him into Spectre or a hard-carry that wins the 1v1 inside Arena.
