About Mara in Highguard
Mara is a shadow priestess who commands the power over life and death. Once a healer in a forgotten order, she discovered dark rituals that let her sacrifice enemies to empower allies. In Highguard, Mara is the ultimate force multiplier — her team fights with strength beyond their own.
Mara is Highguard's only dedicated support warden, and she's incredibly valuable. Her Soul Armor can turn losing fights into wins by giving allies overshields at critical moments. Immortal Coil provides a second chance that other teams simply don't have. Good Mara players stay alive and constantly look for opportunities to shield teammates and sacrifice downed enemies.

Mara Phase-by-Phase Guide
Learn how to play Mara effectively in every phase of a Highguard match. Each phase requires different strategies to maximize Mara's potential.
Defense Phase
Help build walls and communicate with your team about your ultimate placement. Plan where you'll place Immortal Coil during the raid phase — this decision can win or lose the match.
Gear Up Phase
Loot efficiently but avoid unnecessary risks. Mara's value comes from staying alive to support the team. Prioritize finding a reliable primary weapon and position yourself near teammates.
Shieldbreaker Phase
Shield your damage dealers before the fight begins. Soul Armor on Atticus or Redmane as they engage can turn the Shieldbreaker fight. Save Immortal Coil for the raid phase unless absolutely necessary.
Raid Phase
Place Immortal Coil in a hidden but accessible location near the enemy base. Shield your entry fragger before they breach. Sacrifice any downed enemies to rapidly recharge Soul Armor for the next wave. Your survival is critical — a dead Mara can't support the team.
