How To Ares!

Tips & Tricks

Sup Fam,

    1.Ares Main Here. one Word AURA***SSSSSS. These are the keys to success and by building 5 aura items you insure 150 Magic Attack while building pure defense!

    2.The Guide i have for ares is not the usual person who thinks Ares is ult ult ult ult so no we do not focus pure cooldown and repeat ulting like an area noob.

    3.Chain To Drain the squishy is my motto.
    Focus the squishy get in tight with them let mystic mail your chains and flamethrower DPS unfold as the GOD OF WARS true ability.

    4.Using your chains wisely and before your (2) or Defense Buff allows bonus protection for each chain landed (SO ******** LAND YO CHAINS!). Also remember they stop opponents with pesky escapes (cough hunters, scyalla, and well you know those D-Bag-esque Gods).
    Lastly when it comes to chaining Remember you can spread the love a chain for you and a chain for him and well **** a chain for me too! This allows for some impressive AOE from ares as your enemies will take Aura damage from Mystic Mail, Chain Damage, and finally that pesky wide spread flamethrower damage...

    5.My final advice for Ares is his ult AND CHECKING OUTTT WHO FORGOT THEIR BEADSSSS TOADYYYYYYY! You can also time an ult so secure a kill on a low health enemy and hopefully catch their beads as well. Lastly to focus on and remember who used what and whos kit/escapes/beads are down to hit those PERFECT Ultys They Can't Escape, AND SO THE GOD OF WAR CAN BRING HIS ENEMIES TO THEIR KNEES.

Enjoy Murdering your Foes with fire Muhahahaha, Spirit Of Weed
