Introduction

Hello guys this is my first guide to Ares, the god of war.

The objective with this guide is for you, the viewer, to get a beast tank and at the same time give you the opportunity to score the kills you deserve, making your character a semi support role instead of support.

You must remember that your god's role is a support, so if your team needs you to sacrifice yourself to save the carry, you will, no matter what.

Pros / Cons

Pros

  • Tank
  • Great Pull
  • Initiator
  • Slows and stuns enemies

Cons

  • No escape mechanism
  • Easy to counter

Team Work

You want to be in ALL teamfights, mainly because you are the god that will not let the other team escape, using your shackles to slow them, and using your Bolster Defenses to give your team more survivability.

You want to use your No Escape ultimate to start a teamfight or to end one, either way, You must always use your ulti when you see 2 or more enemies, the perfect combo to iniate would be:

  • No Escape
  • Bolster Defenses
  • Shackles
  • Searing Flesh

Skills

[*] Shackles is the Ability you use to chase an enemy or to run from him by doing damage at the same time

[*] Bolster Defenses is the ability you use to give your team more survivability when teamfighting

[*] Searing Flesh is the ability you use after using Shackles to secure a kill

[*] No Escape is the ability you use to start teamfights, or to save your teammates.

Summary

This wraps up the guide, please give some constructive critisism and tell me what the guide needs to make it a better guide. I hope this guide works for you guys the same way it has worked for me :D.
