Introduction

Welcome to my small Ares-guide.

I made this guide for people, who want to have stats of 40/0/20 or something with a tank. Impossible? Not with Ares!

I hope you enjoy this guide. It's small, but there is not too much you need to know with Ares. ;-)

Items

The most important thing on Ares is his passive ability: Every item with an aura gives him +30 magical power.

Ensure, that Ares has tanky items with good auras. If Ares has 6 of them, that means +180 magical power - by being fulltank aswell.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
-High damage
-Good crowd control (be careful about beans)
-High protection
-Good in every step of the game: early, mid and late
-Blink + ult is very good, if you have aoe dmg gods in your team

Cons:
-Slow
-Often focussed
-You need to hit your chains
