Marauder build analysis
Marauder is an ordinary defensive hero. Compared with the other 21 defensive heroes in the database, Marauder has lower base numbers than most of its class, which is expected for an ordinary hero. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is square insignia (Blood Barrier Insignia, 12.8%) and the least settled is pet (Rejuvenate, only 6.8%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Marauder's top talent, Flame Guard, is picked 10.0% of the time, which is 14.5 points less settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Flame Guard (10.0%) | Revive (6.1%) | no consensus |
| Insignia | Sacred Light Insignia (10.1%) | Oracle's Favor Insignia (8.3%) | no consensus |
| Square Insignia | Blood Barrier Insignia (12.8%) | Spike Shield Insignia (10.9%) | no consensus |
| Pet | Rejuvenate (6.8%) | Rainbow Flash (3.7%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
