With his natural tankiness, he can come online early to siege towers or gank after a quick Blink Dagger. The Dragon Knights fit the bill very well for a mid-game momentum draft.
3) Dragon Knight Dragon Knight is great for early tier-1s (Image via Valve) Mars has been picked 57 times in the Dota 2 WePlay AniMajor with a 46% winrate. With the Dota 2 7.29 shard upgrades, Mars’ Q has also become a better initiation spell. His value lies in his near-universal viability into almost any lineup. Mars has not been significantly buffed of late. This is also a trend seen in regional Dota 2 leagues in China, South America, and NA. Mars has been a favorite first-pick for many teams in the last Major. 2) Mars Mars is naturally tanky thanks to his E (Image via Valve) Lion has been picked 63 times in the Dota 2 WePlay AniMajor with a 54% winrate. This alone makes Lion a potent initiator on an escape hero. Short of a sheepstick, the only other hero with an insta-cast Hex is Shadow Shaman. However, the real reason Lion is indispensable is Hex.

His foes all learned the hard way that size matters not in combat, and that appearances are, ultimately, deceiving. Despite his small size and mischievous personality, the little dragon soon proved to pack more than his fair share of power on the battlefield, blasting through the enemy ranks with balls of magic, faerie dust, and the capability to stupefy an entire army with nothing more than his imagination. Upon explaining the conflict to the Faerie Queen of Agrace, she sent forth Puck, a personal guardian, to turn the tides of war.
In Sentinel's search for heroes to aid them in the war against the Scourge, they discovered the lost lands of the mystical Faerie Dragons. Its motives are therefore inscrutable, and what appears to be play may in fact indicate a darker purpose or just its endless fondness for mischief. So while it is technically true that Puck is juvenile, it will continue to be so when the cities of the present age have sloughed away into dust. The juvenile form of a Faerie Dragon, a creature that lives for eons, Puck spends countless millennia in its childish form.
