Arena is not that complicated so this will just be a short why this is built the way it is

small insight on build 1

Build 1 - the point of this build is to keep there magical defenses to a minimum and pretty much delete any enemy that u get with your chains, if you hit all three chains and use searing flesh, it should kill almost any god in the game besides bulky warriors and guardians, but they should be down to at least 30% by the end of the combo, with this you will be focused down by the whole team so team work is crucial to make sure you can do damage, also with your ult you will ether get 3 gods every time or the enemy team will save the beads for you allowing your team to use cc more effectively

a little more power if needed

build 2 - this is almost the same build but with rangdas mask which you give up cdr for straight power, in testing this is slightly more powerful it will kill even guardians if they don't build to defend against the power, most times though the bulky warriors and guardians will have 10-15% health left. you will be taking more damage with this though so play carefully and don't try for more then one kill at a time

side notes

note: this can be probably made better if you wanted to ult spam or be more bulky but i prefer to be a real damage threat and have the ability to make the enemy's have to account for me at all times to allow teammates cc to be more effective

Interesting...

So you never got deleted upon attempting to blink in? Especially considering the pickup?

Or is this just another stomp Arena noobs build?

Stomp Arena noobs build.

Things I would build:

: has fairly long cooldowns, and these shoes help with that. Plus they have the same power as and are cheaper.
: Sov? In Arena? Yes. Not only does it provide physical protections for both you and your allies, you also get the extra 30 power from it being an aura item. It's also fairly cheap, so you can get it right after boots or after...
: Good protections, decent health, and 50 power combined with Ares' passive. Oh, and it has protection reduction as well.
: Power, health, lifesteal for both you and your allies, and CDR. Plus it's an aura item, so that's another 30 power.
: protections, health, and an aura item. Plus you can do a bit of extra damage to enemies you have on.
: To counter-act that pesky CC, plus it has CDR.
and/or : Got a lot of basic attackers on the other team? Well, slow 'em down! Don't buy with either though, because you want your enemies hitting you enough times to kill themselves. Get hide for anti-crit, the other two for anti-AA.
: if you find yourself struggling to stay alive while blinking in, grab this for some extra damage mitigation.
: like sov, it provides health, protections, and a bit of power due to Ares' passive. Get this 2nd or 3rd if you're buying it so you can stack it quickly.
: so you can blink + ult more often. Plus the stats are good.

As for your build items and why I don't recommend this build:

: there are better team oriented relics out there like , , , , and that beads just aren't that good.
: you're going to be focused when you ult, why make it easier for the enemy team to kill you? Besides, your job isn't to get kills, it's to set up your team and you really don't need that extra damage; plus it's not a good trade-off with the extra damage you'll be taking.
: not really needed because shackles already slows and there are more team-oriented items to consider.
: this is a good item on Ares, but your mage should be building this depending on what type of mage they are (burst vs. dot). I'd only get it if my mage hadn't and we're ahead so we can stay ahead or if I think we really, really, need that extra damage. Most games I don't get it at all.
: why? Sure it's a decent power item, but why? Its stats aren't that good considering what your primary function is: tank and setup. Seriously, never buy this on Ares.

I would consider in arena too, so you can ulti as much as possible.

I'd say secondary CDR at most. Getting puts your ult almost inline with Blink. Yes, being able to use your ult outside of the Blink can be absolutely functional, but you don't need to spam it, and I think there are better item options overall than BoV. Just my opinion.

(81) |

Pythag: 10% CDR; Focus: 10% CDR; Witchblade: 10% CDR; Relic dagger: 10% CDR; : 10% CDR; Spirit robe: 10% CDR. See where I'm going with this, Myst? :P

Thanks to you and mysterion for your humorous little discussion on this, for ***ts and giggles i made this build for arena and have been having a blast i know that you normally want SoB and void earlier for a greater benefit but this build has been working great for me.

(81) |

You can also try for the extra power provided you get your CDR elsewhere.

(5) |

yeah, i was looking at that one. I had it in my build but replaced it with BoV for the full cdr

(72) |

Build shoes of focus + bov start to ulti twice before the enemy has beads online > Build CDR in 3 or 4 items :p

(Of course this is for arena only :p )

(81) |

Well, sure, if you want to be safe. :P
