After a long break, DOTA 2 is all set to get another hero to add to large pool of heroes to choose from. Mars, son of Zeus, is all set to enter the eternal struggle between the Dire and the Radiant in a new update to the game.
Mars is a powerful melee carry who is designed to initiate fights, and should the battle go against them, disable the enemies as needed. With a large health pool, Mars is all set to fortify the lanes against creep waves and enemy heroes trying to push for the tower.
Mars’ ability pool adds to his magnificence. The Spear of Mars is a powerful ranged ability that triggers multiple enemies in a row. Any enemy hero who is pushed back by it against a rock, cliff or tree is stuck to it and stunned. God’s Rebuke allows Mars to push back enemies in a firefight and get enough room to escape, or simply damage multiple enemies in an area. When upgraded with True Sight, the assault does bonus damage to enemy heroes, making Mars lethal in combat. Bulwark is a defensive ability allowing Mars to block a portion of damage inflicted on him when struck from the front or sides (be careful of a strike to the back, though!) What really makes Mars special is his ultimate ability, which allows him to trap enemy heroes in an Arena of Blood (more likely undead warriors). No enemy hero inside the Arena of Blood can escape, while enemies outside the Arena cannot damage Mars.
The new update is also set to feature a remodel to Drow Ranger, the sneaky assassin lurking through the dark lanes, sometimes deep in enemy territory. Perhaps the light from Mars’ arrival was too bright after all.
