How To Play Mars | Tips, Tricks and Tactics | A Dota 2 Guide by BSJ

Wow! Please do more offlane videos! Thanks!

havent played dota 2 in years and seeing modern dota is cringe but still neato

He hits like a wet noodle

Thx very helpful

Is this the guy who used to spam slark ? XD

I usually build mars with Blink dagger, bkb then upgrade the dagger to overwhelming for additional slow after jumping in, after that I usually build refresher or shivas or ac.

I try mars in pub once and completely destroyed its ability takes time to practice

Lol, dude buy a decent mic! Respect your own great content!

around 4.2k rn and have been playing like trash with mars...
I have been playing him wrong, lol.

Actually a night stalker with ulti can fly out of the arena

Yo bsj what if you use spear to leave the carry with 10% hp, then its also worth it right?

try to use quickcast on button release with aoe spells my friend

Ya. Mars seems really reliable. I seem to struggle with Phantom Lancer a lot for some reason eventhough the bulwark with deso usually clears all his illusions so I usually ban him. Next is Riki. Riki counters Mars too hard.

Thank you for the lesson, bsj

Learned some things! Thanks BSJ, Mason was wrong about you!

Really makes you appreciate the pros in high stakes DPC consistently landing spear into arena over arena spear.

GODLIKE guide BSJ. Really a good DOTA teacher

I see in the replay that arena also blocks the tower shots. Really cool. Never knew that.

Aaaandddd you expect from Herald like me to do that spear/ult combo in a game? Look at youuu mate :D

Let me save you some time... Skipp the first 20 min... BSJ is trying to get Spear into Arena combo XDD

Dude love ur stuff but buy a goddamn decent mic man.. this shit hurts

Very useful actually thanks for this

the spear into arena combo entirely depends on how fast you cast the arena after spear, there is lenience in where you cast the arena but you need to do it asap. its usually as soon as mars' spear is going in a forward motion

God tier guide. Every Mars guide is min 500 MMR for me. If I start losing games I just come and watch again. Then, I suddenly start playing good again. I guess we develop bad habits and we lose sight of the high level strat

bTW For the Arena combo it's all about the cast range not the timing , to work your cursor must be at max Arena cast range after blink .You can even shift que the spells .

DAGGER > BKB > SHARD > REFRESHER.
Ez MMR

After blink and BKB I go refresher if Im owning. is that ok or is it better to go deso or satanic?

What's going on with your algorithms. I sub to your channel. I watch every vid of yours. But since some weeks ago I have to search for your vids, they dont show up in my feed.

Great video. Thanks for the tips.

i saw that saberlight clip and tried the spear combo lol, he made it look so easy but u need the right timing

Tomato Timado

I think you might be underestimating the additional points in Bulwark a bit, as well as the +10% damage reduction talent.

With level 1 Bulwark, you have 40% damage reduction, which is the same as taking only 60% of the damage. With level 4 bulwark, you take only 30% of the damage. In other words, the physical damage you take from the front is halved with those extra points in Bulwark.

With t he level 20 talent, that goes down to taking only 20% of the damage. Thus, the talent alone is an extra 33% physical damage reduction from the front.

Would be nice if you fixed your recording so your voice doesn't clip non stop. It's very hearing damaging, lowers the quality of the video by alot. Very sad since the content is very, very good.

just get meteor hammer - > win

Plz name Willow as a Pos4 Righ Clicker...she is one of the best

aether lens makes the spear arena reliable or keen optic if u have the option.

Yo BSJ! can you Bristleback next?
people really need to know, that hero is really a free mmr machines.. i ranked up from 900 to 2,5k with bristle!

💪🥶

mars is overated it requires team work is unreliable and does not aoe disables multiple targets or bkb pierce disables shaker is better offlane than mars 🙌🏼 if played right shaker can carry

Hey bsj, what do you think of buying the armlet on mars if you are way ahead in the game?

if you go with mars the refresher build then the 25 health regen talent is actually standard

Awesome!

bracer should be remodelled into boxing gloves honestly

Been meaning to pick up Mars. Great timing on this.

some heroes can right click through arena from the outside but it has to do with how their attack point is attached to their hero model so a hero like NP who reaches far out in his attack animation can hit through it

i fucking love mars

Good video, we need Daxak's Furion

Watch SabeRLight- guide - spear to arena :D

The trick to hit spear into arena consistently is to aim both spells at the exact same point, ~450 units( Luna with dragon lance attack range, for reference) away from Mars. Use one after the other instantly, no timing required. Quick cast on arena helps a lot
