Marksman build analysis
Marksman is an ordinary offensive hero. Compared with the other 79 offensive heroes in the database, Marksman 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 insignia (Oracle's Favor Insignia, 15.7%) and the least settled is pet (Nature's Spite, only 8.4%), 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. Marksman's top talent, Revitalize, is picked 9.2% of the time, which is 15.3 points less settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Revitalize (9.2%) | Revive (5.7%) | no consensus |
| Insignia | Oracle's Favor Insignia (15.7%) | Saint's Favor Insignia (10.0%) | contested |
| Square Insignia | Madness Agent Insignia (14.3%) | Inspire Insignia (12.2%) | no consensus |
| Pet | Nature's Spite (8.4%) | Swarm of Doom (6.0%) | 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.
