Ares
Ares is the Greek God of War. He is feared by many, hated by his father and worshiped by warriors. Ares is loved by very few. His father Zeus despises him. Zeus feels that his wife Hera must of cheated on him in order to produce such an offspring. His own sister is often is own enemy. Athena is also a God of War but she represents strategy, cunning and intelligence. Spartans are some of the few who worship him. They know of his short temper and fury, so all statues of Ares are chained up, in order to contain any possible outbursts.

Gameplay Tips
- Ares has one of the most useful ultimates in the game. That being said, it is also one of the easiest to counter. Don't rely on it to consistently pull in your enemies. If your allies can force the enemy to burn their Aegis Amulet, then you can rush in and pull them back after.
- Searing Flesh isn't the most powerful ability but it is great at wearing someone down. Melee characters are going to have to get very close to Ares and setting them on fire is a good deterrent. The damage likely won't kill them, but it might cause them to second guess their attack on you.
- Ares relies quite a bit on his basic attack. Getting a few items to boost it are not uncommon. Demonic Grip or Transcendence are both good choices.
- Initiating battles is Ares' goal in life. Rushing into a crowd and hitting No Escape will start a team fight every time. Even if the enemies don't get pulled in, your team can move in on the enemies well they try to flee from you.
