Personnal Introduction

Hi, this is my first build so be a little easy on me if its not the greatest. This is the build I use with ares to get 10-2-40, so I think it should help.

Introduction

Ares has probably the best CC in the game, and I think hes the best support as well. If you combo him with practically anyone with an area the penta's go off the charts. He is my favorite God to play, and this is the build I use to give the enemies no escape.

Gameplay

Early Game

In early game Ares is a monster. Its where you get most of his kills with his skill combination. If you get any buff you would want to get a Mana camp and if not get a damage camp. His skill combination does so much damage early game

Mid Game

His mid-game is about average nothing to exceptional you probably won't die as your so tanky. However its your main time to get tons of assists. It ends up not being that eventful though.

Late Game

His late game is where he gets the best. He is a really helpful support and just is a vital part of team fights, and he hardly ever dies. He is really amazing in his Late Game.

Pros / Cons

Pros


Very Tanky
Amazing CC
Very good Chaser

Cons


Easily countered ult
Not the highest damage
Not the best on his own

Items

Sovreignity


Sovreignty
This item is in here because of his passive, and its just a really strong Support item in general.[/center

Pythagorem's Piece



This item, as well is in there because of his passive and the Magical life steal can power is deadly when with the right people.

Mystical Mail



This item is a awesome chaser and really helps you and your ADC get some kills.

Void Stone



This is a good item to have for the magical prot denial. Really makes you a good killer for some of those tanks, but not vital, better late game.

Pestilence



Pestilence makes ares a really mean chaser, even more then he is, as they get lower healing.

Actives

Greater Blink



This is a required active. You blink in and use your ult to grab them all out of there tower ready to be killed by your team.

Wrath of the Gods



This is a over all really good active item to have as a support, it really helps with FG GF, and camps.

Skills

Shackles



This is a awesome ability. What you want to do is fire 3 chains at 1 enemy in succession and that'll start doing massive damage.

Bolster Defenses



This ability is good for escaping, or chasing. It gives you CC reduction and defense, and a bonus for each shackle out, so what you want to do is after those 3 chains use this.

Searing Flesh



This is the ability that ties everything together. After you do 1 and 2 you use this to help the damage with the chase.

No Escape



Once they think they've escaped use this ability to pull them back into the fight. Even if they have beads if they are low enough it will kill them with the 500 damage it does when you wouldve pull the people in.

These skills combo'd should kill most anything.

Creeping / Jungling

Jungling and Creeping

You don't really jungle with ares. The most close I've ever come to jungling with him is cutting people off in the jungle. Typically you would come in one of the entrances that the people are close to, and pull them out of the jungle with your ult. It really works well and is a vicious way to kill the people.

Team Work

Ares works well with a lot of people with his ult. Her are some of them and how he works with and why.

Poseidon



He works really well with Poseidon with his ult. You can use your 4 and pull them in, while Poseidon uses his ult on the area where they are dragged in. Ares can use his 1 and slow them down and fire them with his 3 so that they can't escape.

Agni



Much like Poseidon he drags the people in with ult and uses his ult, much like the same thing lots of damage

Zeus



Ares works well with Zeus because of their ult's. You can drag them into the thunder cloud and do massive amounts of damage, and will kill pretty much their whole team.
Ares works well with a lot of people and these are the main ones.

Why reinforced graves and not midas boots? but otherwise i agree with all the build

Ares will generally get a kill early so he may not need midas boots early in general. Ares deals quite a lot of damage is just straight out annoying.

Great guide Chaogus good starting point but I would recommend using columns and do some more ult combos like Zeus Ares and more but great first guide an up vote for me :D
Also for the item section I would straighten out the icons with the text and center them.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
