My enemy has a martyr en route to my outpost. I can get an assassin to the outpost first. Would the assassin stop the martyr prior to her detonating?

martyr will always blow up. Priority 1 Specialist means no stopping the blast
What you CAN do is send out a one driller from the will-be-blown-up outpost to wherever the martyr came from, causing her to blow up early

The only thing that stops a martyr is itself !

Martyr is fear confirmed.

Technically, a martyr doesn't stop the other martyr. They both still activate...
But I feel like you were drifting away from the question anyway.
Martyr can't really be stopped. They will always blow up. What you can do is determine when and where they blow up, so that it doesn't hurt you.

Very true. Or if you wanted to prevent a martyr explosion, hide her like she is a nuclear warhead.

If one of your opponents has a martyr, you can use this to your advantage and come at them with reckless abandon to blow up their outpost

But, if you do this wrong, you could have a very large force sent at him, and he could blow it up en route to his outpost. So you've gotta be careful about that

No I don't mean another Martyr.. I mean that it stops itself whenever it gets poked.
