Dota 2 Guide: 6 Heroes that synergize with Mars

Dota 2 got its 117th hero, Mars a couple of days ago. Mars is a melee strength hero, who provides a lot of utility support and his ultimate, Arena of Blood, is really useful to trap enemies while your carries deal damage. Mars is quite akin to other Strength frontline heroes such as Bristleback and Tidehunter.

In Dota 2 lore, Mars is from the same Heavenly realm as Zeus and Zeus has many lines when he meets Mars in the Battlefield, whether as an ally or as a foe. There are also some easter eggs and voice lines with other heroes, including the second latest hero Grimestroke.

But Mars also has really good synergy with many other heroes, some a little better than the others. Let's take a look at the Dota 2 guide suggesting 6 heroes that synergize the best with a Mars in their team.

#6. Phoenix

The biggest problem with Phoenix is that it can be hard to aim the Icarus Dive, Sun Ray and Super Nova as enemies can easily avoid these abilities. Mars can stun heroes (even though that can be hard to aim) with Q ability Spear of Mars and lock in enemies with Arena of Blood, unable to make them escape from the long stun and damage from Supernova.

It is also easier to juke enemies with Fire Spirits and a combo of all other Phoenix's moves to deal the maximum amount of damage to heroes.

#5. Disruptor

Disruptor can bring back fleeing enemies from Arena of Blood's AOE range back to the Arena with his ability Glimpse. Disruptor's ultimate, Static Storm, can combo with both his own ability Kinetic Field and Mars' Arena of Blood. Disruptor can also use Glimpse to bring back an enemy next to a tree/tower/hero so that Mars can use Spears of Mars to stun them accordingly.

#4. Juggernaut

Dota 2 hero Juggernaut shares strong synergies with the likes of heroes such as Venomancer, Shadow Shaman and many others. Juggernaut is still a strong carry and with Mars in the game, he has gotten a new synergy. Arena of Blood can give Juggernaut a shorter range to use Omnislash and Blade Fury.

Mars can flank from behind and knock an enemy into Juggernaut with God's Rebuke. Since God's Rebuke has True Strike, it helps to deal additional damage which Juggernaut will find easier to finish off the enemy.

#3. Monkey King

Monkey King is a great carry on his own. With his sneaky abilities and critical strikes, he can approach enemies without them seeing it coming. Mars' Arena of Blood makes the Primal Spring leap and Wukong's Command much easier. Mars can also push an enemy into Wukong's Command circle with God's Rebuke.

Mars can protect Monkey King and the tree he is perched on with Bulwark. God's Rebuke and Monkey King's passive Jingu Mastery can deal deadly damage to a hero.

#2. Sven

Sven is a deadly carry when he is farmed, with Daedalus, Echo Sabre and other powerful items. Mars is incredible with Sven. Arena of Blood can ensure enemies are trapped and Sven can use God's Strength to swing down heavy damage on enemies. When Arena of Blood's duration is over, Sven can use his stun to continue the damage.

God's Rebuke can knock an enemy into Sven's AOE. Bulwark can protect Sven so he has ample time to recover and jump in. Spear of Mars if landed correctly can be deadly since Sven can follow up with a stun. Sven's Warcry also helps Mars gain more damage.

#1. Kunkka

Kunkka is easily the best hero that synergizes well with Mars. X Marks The Spot can bring a target right back to where they were and Mars can unleash Arena of Blood or time a Spear of Mars. If Arena of Blood is active, it is a lot easier to aim Ghostship and Torrent because the area where the enemies are held are much more limited.
