Dark Willow
* 
Rage protects and dispels all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Additional:
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Mars
* Rage, acting as a pseudo-
Black King Bar, completely negates Mars' initiation if used in time.
* 
Feast does damage and heals based on max health, perfect against high-health strength heroes like Mars.
* 
Infest allows Lifestealer to potentially save allies from Mars' initiation with a quick burst of extra health.
Dark Willow
* 
Ball Lightning allows Storm Spirit to bypass Bramble Maze into the backline, and zip back into battle if he gets hit by Terrorize.
Mars
* Ball Lightning makes it almost impossible to catch Storm Spirit without someone else initiating for you.
* 
Overload is not reduced by Bulwark and the magical damage spam can wear down Mars quickly.
Additional:
* Storm Spirit's abilities all do magical damage, which can bypass 
Bulwark.
* Ball Lightning can escape through 
Arena of Blood and it is easy to dodge 
Spear of Mars.
Dark Willow
* 
Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* 
Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* 
False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Additional:
* Fortune's End can easily dispel 
Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from 
Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from 
Bramble Maze if cast quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Mars
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: 
Timbersaw, 
Dark Willow, 
Enigma, 
Invoker, 
Pugna, 
Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, 
Zeus, 
Oracle.
Dark Willow
* 
Ancient Seal instantly shuts down Dark Willow's abilities, rendering her defenseless against his high burst damage spells, while she cannot cast spells of her own.
* 
Mystic Flare deals immense burst damage in an area, damaging Dark Willow through Shadow Realm.
Mars
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, Zeus, Oracle.
Dark Willow
* 
Smoke Screen prevents Dark Willow from using her abilities, rendering her defenseless and unable to deal any serious damage.
* 
Blink Strike lets Riki jump past Bramble Maze.
Mars
* Blink Strike gives bonus backstab damage and can bypass Bulwark. Defensively, it could be used to teleport away from Mars, especially while inside Arena of Blood.
* Smoke Screen can interrupt Mars' skill combos, especially when cast inside Arena of Blood.
* 
Tricks of the Trade can be used to evade Mars' skills, which have a slight delay to them. It could also be used to buy himself time while trapped inside of Arena of Blood.
Additional:
* Bulwark is generally irrelevant against Riki as he primarily deals bonus damage from behind.
Mars
* Heroes who rely on their target to run away: 
Riki, 
Bounty Hunter.
Dark Willow
* 
Magnetic Field lets Arc Warden or allies evade Dark Willow's shadow realm attacks. The duration of the evasion can be extended with the clone.
* 
Spark Wraith also exploits Dark Willow's low mobility.
Dark Willow
* 
Flame Guard blocks Dark Willow's magical burst damage, and harms her if she tries to get close to attack with Bedlam.
* 
Sleight of Fist and 
Fire Remnant makes it hard for Dark Willow to fully disable Ember Spirit.
Mars
* 
Arcane Orb's pure damage ignores Mars' Bulwark.
* 
Astral Imprisonment can be used to stop Mars from being disruptive or save allies from his abilities.
* 
Sanity's Eclipse deals high damage to Mars, due to his low intelligence pool.
Mars
* 
Decay, 
Soul Rip and 
Flesh Golem all deal magical damage which ignores Bulwark.
* Decay reduces Mars' natural strength and therefore his health pool, which is what he relies on to trade effectively in lane.
Mars
* 
Dragon Slave deals reliable magic damage during the laning phase against Mars.
* Lina's 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity and 
Light Strike Array combo can interrupt Mars from being disruptive for a decent amount of time and leave him vulnerable for follow up stuns.
* 
Laguna Blade deals massive magical damage, and pure damage with 
Aghanim's Scepter.
Mars
* 
Nethertoxin breaks the damage block from Bulwark.
* 
Poison Attack and 
Viper Strike's slows make it difficult for Mars to contribute to fights due to his low mobility.
Additional:
* Viper Strike can disable Bulwark entirely, making Mars far less tanky. Using Nethertoxin inside Arena of Blood may discourage enemies from following up with Mars's initiation.
* 
Rod of Atos is currently common on Viper and keeps Mars in position long enough to be killed.
* However, Viper is not very tanky earlier in the game, so positioning against Mars is important for Viper since a well-timed Spear of Mars can be the end of Viper.
Mars
* It is difficult for Mars to trade blows with Ogre Magi in the early game thanks to his high base health, resistance and 
Ignite.
* 
Bloodlust can assist Ogre Magi or an ally in repositioning against Mars for its move speed bonus.
* 
Fireblast can interrupt and mitigate Mars from performing his skill combos, especially in combination with 
Multicast.
Dark Willow
* Nyx Assassin's high burst damage can be the bane of Dark Willow, as her low health makes it difficult to survive long enough to escape through Shadow Realm.
* 
Spiked Carapace can be triggered by walking deliberately into Bramble Maze, leaving Dark Willow stunned and defenseless.
Dark Willow
* Jakiro's area of effect abilities can hit Dark Willow even while she is hidden during the Shadow Realm.
* Waiting about 2 seconds after Dark Willow casts Shadow Realm to cast Ice Path will stun her while her Shadow Realm is at it's maximum damage.
* Jakiro can stun Dark Willow when there is about 1 second left on Cursed Crown, Jakiro's Ice Path stun lasts slightly longer then Cursed Crown.
Mars
* Solar Guardian can save allies caught inside Arena of Blood.
Dark Willow
* 
Last Word and 
Arcane Curse have the range to hit Dark Willow beyond Bramble Maze.
* 
Global Silence renders Dark Willow useless in teamfights.
Dark Willow
* 
Rot and 
Meat Hook hits Dark Willow even when she uses Shadow Realm.
* 
Flesh Heap reduces Dark Willow's magic burst damage.
Mars
* 
Nether Blast, 
Decrepify and 
Life Drain deal high magical damage and bypasses Bulwark.
* 
Nether Ward reduces the amount of abilities Mars can use during fights and forces Mars to be careful about the heavy mana cost of Arena Of Blood.
* Pugna is one of few heroes that can contest Mars' ability to push and defend towers early on.
Mars
* 
Shadowraze deals magic damage and ignores Bulwark.
* 
Requiem of Souls deals magic damage and can fear Mars away, forcing him to turn around and therefore become vulnerable.
Mars
* Necrophos' largely magical damage completely ignores Bulwark.
* 
Ghost Shroud protects Necrophos from God's Rebuke but more importantly stops Mars from being a threat in lane.
Mars
* 
Burning Spear's magical damage is very troublesome for Mars in the laning stage.
* 
Life Break's percentage-based magical damage bypasses Bulwark, and can also be used to jump in or out of Arena Of Blood.
Mars
* Mars' own father is a formidable foe because Zeus deals massive amounts of magical damage. The high damage, low cooldown nukes of 
Arc Lightning and 
Lightning Bolt combined with the percent health magic damage of 
Static Field will shred Mars' health because it bypasses Bulwark completely.
Dark Willow
* All of Puck's abilities are area-targeted, and will hit Dark Willow when she uses Shadow Realm.
* 
Illusory Orb allows Puck to bypass Bramble Maze, close the gap and silence Dark Willow with 
Waning Rift.
* 
Phase Shift helps Puck dodge attacks charged by Shadow Realm, and is easily timed against Terrorize's long cast time.
Dark Willow
* 
Quill Spray's constant AoE damage will hit Dark Willow even in Shadow Realm. Its automatic damage will hurt her if she tries to get close and use Bedlam.
Mars
* 
Snowball can protect Tusk and his teammates from a Spear of Mars' stun after an Arena of Blood, and with proper targeting, even bring them out of the Arena. This is especially noticeable in the earlier stages of the game before allies buy Black King Bar and rely on this less. Even during the late-game, Tusk can purchase a 
Blink Dagger to save allies that are caught before Black King Bars can be used by Blinking in and Snowballing out.
* 
Tag Team is a constant threat to Mars in-lane, as it deals significant damage and slow, making Bulwark slightly ineffective.
* It is worth noting that 
Ice Shards can be detrimental to Tusk's own team by creating terrain that Spear of Mars can latch on, though using it conservatively is a good enough solution in most cases.
Mars
* Venomancer's spells all deal magical damage, ignoring Bulwark.
* Venomancer's multiple slows are especially effective at kiting Mars.
* 
Plague Ward can attack through Arena Of Blood.
Additional:
* Venomancer's poison attacks are all magical damage, ignoring Bulwark.
* Venomancer's multiple slows are especially effective against Mars' low mobility.
* Plague Wards can attack through Arena of Blood.
Mars
* 
Sticky Napalm slows turn rate, making it difficult for Mars to face frontwards, where Spear of Mars and Bulwark are effective. In combination with 
Firefly, which deals magic damage, Batrider can make quick work of Mars.
* 
Flaming Lasso disables Mars while enemies re-position themselves behind Mars to avoid Bulwark.
Mars
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, Zeus, Oracle.
Mars
* Heroes that can save their allies can be a big problem for Mars: 
Dazzle, 
Omniknight.
Mars
* 
Ursa is a special mention because despite Bulwark diminishing most of the damage Ursa does, he is quite durable, especially with 
Enrage, discouraging the aggressive all-in playstyle of Mars; Ursa can simply not target Mars.
Mars
* Nukers who have set amounts of damage will really struggle against Lone Druid especially in True Form: 
Puck, 
Void Spirit, 
Mars.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: 
Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, 
Wraith King
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Wraith King
Mars
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, Zeus, Oracle.
Mars
* Heroes that depend on disrupting fights with ability combos or big ultimate abilities are vulnerable to the long stun of Fiend's Grip: 
Disruptor, 
Death Prophet, Enigma, 
Faceless Void, Invoker, 
Lich, 
Magnus, Mars, 
Medusa, 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Phoenix, Puck, 
Queen of Pain, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Treant Protector, 
Underlord, 
Winter Wyvern, 
Witch Doctor, Zeus.
Mars
* Heroes with break abilities: 
Shadow Demon (with Aghanim's Scepter), 
Viper.
Mars
* 
Kunkka's 
Ghostship and 
Torrent disrupt fights in Arena Of Blood.
Dark Willow
* Heroes who can silence will shut down Dark Willow entirely: Death Prophet, 
Silencer, 
Drow Ranger
Mars
* Heroes with high health especially Strength heroes will take more damage on Sun Ray: 
Axe, 
Pudge, 
Bristleback, Mars.
Mars
* Heroes that can save their allies can be a big problem for Mars: Dazzle, Omniknight.
Mars
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, Zeus, Oracle.
Dark Willow
* 
Counterspell negates Dark Willow's high magic burst damage. Its active blocks Cursed Crown.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to dodge Terrorize during its long cast animation, as well as avoiding the obstacles from Bramble Maze. On the other hand, if Anti-Mage gets caught inside Bramble Maze, he's unable to Blink away.
* Dark Willow's chained magic burst requires a lot of mana, setting her up for damaging 
Mana Voids.
Mars
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: 
Abaddon, 
Anti-Mage, 
Broodmother, 
Luna, 
Sniper, 
Troll Warlord, 
Weaver, 
Clinkz.
Mars
* 
Swashbuckle is an auto attack and therefore ignores Mars' Bulwark.
* 
Shield Crash upgraded with Aghanim is an auto attack and therefore ignores Mars' Bulwark.
* 
Rolling Thunder makes him immune to magic, making Pangolier able to roll in and out of Mars' Arena Of Blood.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with powerful rooting abilities will disable most of Pangolier's skills, a bonus point if it pierces spell immunity since it will also be able to stop Pangolier during his Rolling Thunder: Treant Protector, 
Meepo, 
Crystal Maiden, Dark Willow, Underlord, 
Naga Siren
Dark Willow
* Terrorize forces Monkey King out of 
Wukong's Command.
Mars
* If visible, Mars can knock Monkey King off his 
Tree Dance with God's Rebuke, as well as Spear of Mars. Arena of Blood also destroys a large swath of trees, which can disrupt Monkey King's positioning and turn him vulnerable should he choose to hide in trees.
* Mars can endure 
Jingu Mastery attacks simply by facing him with Bulwark.
* Mars can end Wukong's Command early by displacing Monkey King with a well-thrown Spear of Mars. Mars can also endure most of his clones with Bulwark.
Additional:
* Monkey King's natural reliance on trees makes him an exceptionally prime target for Spear of Mars. Should Monkey King use Mischief to disguise himself, it will still hit him, stunning him in the process.
* 
God's Rebuke easily pushes Monkey King out of Wukong's Command.
Dark Willow
* Casting Bramble Maze on top of Meepo guarantees a root, as it is nearly impossible to leave the thorns with all of Meepo's clones.
* Terrorize and Cursed Crown offer great disables against the grouped Meepos and can prevent them from using 
Poof to escape.
Mars
* Bulwark blocks the attack from Meepo and his clones.
* Spear of Mars & God's Rebuke prevents Meepo and his clones from initiation or escaping.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze greatly hinders Bloodseeker's ability to run around in teamfights and pick off dying allies.
* Shadow Realm prevents Bloodseeker from attacking dark Willow, allowing her to safely teleport away.
Mars
* Arena Of Blood prevents Bloodseeker from attacking a 
Ruptured target.
* Bulwark helps Mars survive Rupture ganks simply by turning towards Bloodseeker without moving.
* Spear of Mars and God's Rebuke can push Bloodseeker from Ruptured targets.
Dark Willow
* Dark Willow's burst damage and stun prevents Troll Warlord from approaching her until he has Black King Bar.
* Troll Warlord's lack of burst damage makes it hard for him to kill Dark Willow before she slips into Shadow Realm.
Mars
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: Abaddon, Anti-Mage, Broodmother, Luna, Sniper, Troll Warlord, Weaver, Clinkz.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze stops 
Charge of Darkness in its tracks. Its very long duration means it can be used as an obstacle to block off an incoming Spirit Break during teamfights.
* Shadow Realm and Bedlam can be activated when Dark Willow sees Charge of Darkness coming, preventing Spirit Breaker from using 
Nether Strike after the initial stun.
Mars
* Durable heroes: Axe, 
Dawnbreaker, Bristleback, Mars, Omniknight, 
Tidehunter, Wraith King, 
Primal Beast, Underlord.
Mars
* Bulwark negates most of the physical damage from Terrorblade and his illusions.
* God's Rebuke and Spear of Mars can decimate Terrorblade's illusions quickly.
Dark Willow
* Terrorize, Bedlam and Cursed Crown can damage Muerta through 
Pierce the Veil.
* Even if Muerta has Black King Bar and Pierce the Veil active, Dark Willow can still use Shadow Realm to protect herself against the Pierce the Veil's high damage, as Muerta cannot attack her for it's duration.
Mars
* Even if he can slow Mars down with 
Shrapnel and 
Headshot, Mars can tank Sniper's physical damage simply by facing him with Bulwark, allowing him to endure his auto-attacks into the late-game. Should Sniper choose to attack someone else, Mars can redirect his projectiles with Bulwark's active ability.
* Sniper's poor mobility makes him very vulnerable to Arena of Blood, especially in the early game. Mars can also take advantage of this by pushing him closer to the front line with Spear of Mars.
Mars
* Spectre cannot have a good game if she is pressured heavily in lane, which is something Mars can do. He may even force her to cast 
Haunt as an escape, putting it on a long cooldown.
* Should Spectre get to the late game, Mars can block a large amount of her damage with Bulwark and can mitigate some of the chaos caused by her Haunt illusions with God's Rebuke.
Mars
* Bulwark blocks much of Slark's basic attack damage, even during 
Shadow Dance.
* Slark finds it very difficult to have a good early/mid game when pressured in the early game by Spear of Mars and God's Rebuke.
* Spear of Mars and God's Rebuke can hit Slark through Shadow Dance and 
Depth Shroud.
* Should 
Pounce be on cooldown, Slark is very vulnerable inside Arena of Blood.
Mars
* 
Shukuchi cannot help Weaver escape from Arena of Blood, and can most likely die if detected through invisibility.
* If pinned to the arena's walls, 
Time Lapse tends to not be enough to save Weaver, as God's Rebuke can keep him burst down thanks to its damage scaling.
* 
The Swarm and 
Geminate Attack are not enough to pierce through Bulwark.
Dark Willow
* 
Windrun does not protect Windranger from Cursed Crown's stun or Dark Willow's magical nukes.
* 
Focus Fire cannot target Dark Willow in Shadow Realm and will be interrupted if targeted earlier, wasting the ultimate.
Additional:
* Windrun does not protect Windranger from Cursed Crown stun or Dark Willow's magical nukes.
* Focus Fire cannot target Dark Willow in Shadow Realm and will be interrupted if targeted earlier, wasting the ultimate.
Mars
* Heroes who lack burst damage will have a hard time against Mars: 
Phantom Lancer, 
Nature's Prophet, Lich.
Mars
* Heroes with forced movement abilities or non-interrupting forced movement, such as 
Lion, Drow Ranger, Magnus, Mars, as they can cancel blast-off mid air, removing his ability to initiate or escape.
Mars
* Heroes who can disable Mars but cannot do any damage to him, meaning he just tanks their abilities: 
Doom, Magnus.
Mars
* Heroes that can negate Hoodwink's mobility: Kunkka, Disruptor, Mars.
Mars
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven, Omniknight, Enigma, Luna, Naga Siren, Mars, 
Jakiro, 
Venomancer, 
Elder Titan, Faceless Void, 
Rubick, 
Keeper of the Light, Pugna, Invoker, 
Spectre, 
Alchemist, Treant Protector, 
Lina, Oracle, Zeus, 
Shadow Shaman, Phoenix, 
Razor, 
Huskar, 
Batrider, Kunkka, Tidehunter, Wraith King, 
Sand King, Medusa, Dawnbreaker.
Mars
* Heroes who lack burst damage will have a hard time against Mars: Phantom Lancer, Nature's Prophet, Lich.
Mars
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: Abaddon, Anti-Mage, Broodmother, Luna, Sniper, Troll Warlord, Weaver, Clinkz.
Dark Willow
* Primal Beast really suffers against supports he cannot bully in the lane: this includes Dazzle, Shadow Demon and Dark Willow since they can use their respective abilities to stop Primal Beast from dealing burst damage, or make it hard for him to stay in range.
Mars
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Axe, Death Prophet, Phantom Lancer, 
Slark, 
Centaur Warrunner, Bristleback, Medusa, Mars.
Mars
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: Abaddon, Anti-Mage, Broodmother, Luna, Sniper, Troll Warlord, Weaver, Clinkz.
Mars
* Heroes who lack burst damage will have a hard time against Mars: Phantom Lancer, Nature's Prophet, Lich.
Mars
* Heroes who rely on their target to run away: Riki, Bounty Hunter.
Mars
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: Abaddon, Anti-Mage, Broodmother, Luna, Sniper, Troll Warlord, Weaver, Clinkz.
Mars
* Heroes that are hard to gank: 
Dragon Knight, Mars, Centaur Warrunner.
Mars
* Heroes with the capability of removing or destroying trees greatly hinders the effectiveness of Treant Protector's abilities: Batrider, Nature's Prophet, Lina, Enigma, Mars
Mars
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: Abaddon, Anti-Mage, Broodmother, Luna, Sniper, Troll Warlord, Weaver, Clinkz.
Mars
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, Zeus, Oracle.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze prevents Timbersaw from 
Timber Chaining away without getting rooted.
* Cursed Crown can still catch Timbersaw if he Timber Chains away.
* 
Reactive Armor offers little protection against Dark Willow's high magical damage.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Wraith King
Mars
* Phantom Assassin's high physical damage is greatly reduced by Bulwark.
* God's Rebuke has true strike, ignoring the evasion from 
Blur.
Mars
* 
Legion Commander is both good and bad vs Mars, on the plus side she can dispel Spear of Mars with 
Press the Attack and is a good 
Silver Edge carrier. However, Mars is not an ideal 
Duel target, as Bulwark will force her to 1: Buy Silver Edge, and 2: Hit Mars with it before the Duel, allowing a skilled Mars to react, especially with Eul's Scepter of Divinity. In teamfights, Mars will happily draw attention after using his abilities, and tank the Duel with all spells on cooldown.
Mars
* Because Duel requires both combatants to face each other, Bulwark's effectiveness will be increased by a huge margin, which makes it much more difficult for Legion Commander to win any duels against him.
* Spear of Mars and God's Rebuke pushes Legion Commander away during Duels against allies.
Additional:
* Bulwark immensely mitigates Duel, even with bonus physical damage, as Bulwark scales by percentage. Mars can also buy time for a dueled ally by pushing Legion Commander away with Spear of Mars.
Mars
* Medusa's 
Stone Gaze forces Mars to choose between getting petrified, or turning his vulnerable back on Medusa.
Mars
* Bulwark can make each of Medusa's attacks target him instead, reducing Medusa's contribution on team fights.
* Spear of Mars stuns Medusa and also pushes her away from teamfights, taking advantage of Medusa's low mobility.
* Arena Of Blood blocks Medusa's attacks from outside the arena.
Mars
* 
Firestorm and 
Pit of Malice are very disruptive in team fights, completely matching Mars especially since it can all be cast inside Arena Of Blood and also does percentage-based magical damage, negating Bulwark.
* 
Dark Rift can save any allies of Underlord trapped in Arena Of Blood.
* 
Atrophy Aura allows Underlord to lane against Mars quite well since he does not have the best base damage during the early game.
* Underlord is a common carrier of both 
Pipe of Insight and 
Mekansm/
Guardian Greaves, allowing his team to combat Mars in the mid to late game.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damaging and/or disabling abilities will be able to intercept Underlord and his team when they exit from Fiend's Gate: Luna's Aghanim's Scepter upgraded

Mars
* Time Dilation while Spear of Mars and God's Rebuke are on cooldown will make these abilities unusable for a long time, rendering Mars nearly useless.
* Mars cannot turn inside the Chronosphere, which makes it easy to attack him from the back, bypassing Bulwark completely.
Additional:
* 
Time Walk allows Faceless Void to escape or enter Arena Of Blood, and helps him recover from Mars' burst damage.
* 
Time Lock's magical damage ignores Bulwark.
* 
Chronosphere allows Faceless Void to reposition behind Mars, ignoring his Bulwark while he is helplessly frozen in time.
Dark Willow
* Terrorize forces Faceless Void out of Chronosphere.
Dark Willow
* 
Gust can hit Dark Willow beyond a defensive Bramble Maze, and before she gets close enough to hit Drow Ranger with Bedlam.
* Drow Ranger's long range allows her to hit Dark Willow's team without venturing into her Bramble Maze.
Mars
* As long as Mars is facing her with Bulwark, even if pushed away with Gust, Drow Ranger will do no effectual damage against him. Mars' ability to endure her onslaught usually gives him enough time to cast Arena of Blood, of which she has a very slim chance surviving without Gust.
* With Bulwark's active ability, Mars can protect allies pursued by Drow Ranger by redirecting her projectiles to his shield instead.
Dark Willow
* 
Blade Fury dispels most of Dark Willow's abilities, allowing Juggernaut to pass through Bramble Maze and cancel out Cursed Crown before the stun occurs.
* However, Dark Willow can tank 
Omnislash with Shadow Realm. As she is a valid target, but invulnerable to right clicks.
Additional:
* None of Dark Willow's spells pierce Spell Immunity, making Blade Fury a good counter against her. Additionally, it dispels Cursed Crown and Bramble Maze.
* Dark Willow is generally fragile, which results in Omnislash being devastating against her.
* However, if Shadow Realm is activated during Omnislash, then the attack damage is negated (though Omnislash can still jump to other enemies).
Mars
* Bulwark mitigates Omnislash which deals physical damage, severely reducing its damage.
* Omnislash switch to opposite direction with each slash, so Mars can easily reduce most of its damage.
* However because {Ability ID:Blade Fury|Juggernaut} gives spell immunity Juggernaut can easily escape from {Ability ID:Arena Of Blood|Mars}.
Additional:
* Juggernaut deals mostly physical damage, which is easily mitigated with Bulwark.
* Juggernaut's Omnislash switches to opposite directions which each slash, so Mars can mitigate most of its damage since he only takes full damage from one direction: his back.
Mars
* Rebound allows her to jump in or out of the Arena Of Blood. She can save her allies from the Arena with Dispose as well.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze will very likely catch Marci midair, disabling Marci's chasing/fleeing ability.
* Shadow Realm prevents Marci from bursting Willow down since she relies on physical attacks and unit target spells. With Aghanim's Scepter, Willow can hit Marci while Marci can't hit Willow.
* Bedlam and Eul's Scepter of Divinity allows Willow to manfight if Marci initiates with Rebound.
* Terrorize and Cursed Crown combo can waste Marci's ultimate for almost half of its duration.
Dark Willow
*
Berserker's Call forces Dark Willow to attack, cancelling Shadow Realm.
Mars
*
Berserker's Call forces Mars to face in the direction choosen.
Counter Helix deals pure damage and can go through Bulwark.
*
