Don’t fight head on – Mars blocks front-facing damage with Bulwark.

Pick magic damage heroes – Bulwark only reduces physical attacks.

Build BKB or mobility items to walk through Arena or dodge his Spear.

Use break mechanics (e.g., Viper) to disable Bulwark.

Punish his cooldowns – Mars is vulnerable when Arena and Spear are down.

Avoid clumping – spread out to minimize Arena + Spear combos.

Use mobile heroes (e.g., Storm, AM) to escape his Arena easily.
