God's Rebuke - The hero hits enemies in front of him with a shield, pushing them back and inflicting critical damage on their attacks. The ability deals increased damage to heroes, and it cannot be missed.
- God's Rebuke's effects are instantly applied across the entire area with no delay.
- The area is a sector of a circle with a radius of 500 and an angle of 140 °.
- The area of effect of God's Rebuke is related to the direction Mars is facing, not the target point.
- God's Rebuke first knocks back, then slows, then makes an instant attack.
- Slow and knockback are applied at the same time, so the slow will last 1.7 seconds.
Bulwark - The hero blocks some of the physical damage from attacks inflicted on the front and sides with his shield. The ability can be turned on by prohibiting the hero from attacking and forcing him to look in a certain direction. At the same time, he moves more slowly and redirects 70% of the projectiles of attacks on allies to himself.

- When active, Mars is disarmed, slowed down, and only looks in one direction.

Ability boost
In order to stand on the lane, we mainly need the second skill, if there is a support with a stun, then we can try to kill the enemy carry. To do this, try to throw it back with your spear, away from its tower. Skill 3 is not popular among players, so it is pumped last.
We don't have much choice in talents, we take them when we reach our levels.
Items
The main items in our build are, of course, blink and bkb. With their help, we become as useful as possible for our team. If we play against mobile characters, in which it is difficult to hit with a spear, and you need to stun them, then we take an eul and combine it with our first skill (before that, you should try to do it in the lobby a couple of times).
Game plan
.On the lane we try to farm, beat the enemy carries.
In any batch, we take the initiative and start the battle, taking all the enemy damage on ourselves, applying the third skill, as well as using abilities 1 and 2, causing damage to enemies.
It is better to start fights with the ultimate, trying to close as many enemies as possible, after that we will become their spear or with the help of the second skill we push them to the walls of the arena. Mars is a relatively difficult character for beginners, you need a good reaction and skill to hit skills.
