Strategy
Look to Dispose an enemy in direction of your allies or to slow more enemies on landing.
You can save an ally by using Rebound on him as it provides movement speed bonus.
Many spells and items can kite Marci during Unleash. Counter them with items or choose the right moment to engage and be ready to switch targets.
Blink Dagger is a huge power spike as it allows you to lock on or switch targets, initiate fights or save allies.
Unleash and Bodyguard are great tools for killing Roshan.
Look to play with one of your cores with Bodyguard to get kills on the map.
Use Bodyguard on your laning partner to have a massive damage and sustain advantage when playing aggressively.
With the Pick Me Up facet, you can use Rebound to reposition an ally along with your hero to bring them in or out of fights.
Counter Strategy
Someone should buy spirit Vessel against Marci's Bodyguard.
Avoid staying too close to Marci as you'll get Disposed easily.
Kite Marci's ultimate by either stopping her from attacking or disengaging.
Acquire items that allow you to kite Marci's ultimate defensively or offensively.
Items that reduce healing and regeneration are good against Marci's Bodyguard.
Items that can dispel the Rebound buff from Marci or her ally are great purchase.
Be aware of Marci's Blink Dagger timing. She can easily gap close, setup kills with Dispose or lock on targets during Unleash.
Lore
Admired by many, Marci's origins are known to nameless few. She travels mostly in the company of the Princess Mirana, but the roots of their friendship are entwined in secrets neither would ever needlessly reveal. To allies, she serves as fierce and honest companion. To enemies, she acts as dauntless deterrence against harming any she deems friend. Though unwise opponents may consider her size unremarkable, Marci possesses an inner power that imbues her strikes with incredible might. She'll decimate those who think to test her, but those who earn her favor will have an unflappable confidant for life.
