Ares’s Ability
Passive: Blessed Presence
Ares gains 30 more Magical Power for each finished aura item he possesses.
Skill 1: Shackles
Ares’ shield emits chains that harm every foe in their path. When a god is hit, they become enslaved to Ares, become Crippled, lose the ability to move, take constant damage, are slowed down by 15%, and Ares is buffed. Ares can fire another chain for free within two seconds while restrained. Damage to Jungle Camps is increased by 40%.
Skill 2: Bolster Defenses
Ares increases the power of his defenses and those of all nearby allies, granting Protections, HP5, and shortening the durations of Crowd Control. The Protection Buffs are enhanced for each adversary that is bound.
Skill 3: Searing Flesh
Ares’ shield erupts with flames, dousing his foes in a cone of fire that damages them all.5s for 4s. Ares has temporary immunity to knockback.
Ultimate: No Escape
All the opposing gods in the vicinity of Ares are thrown chains. After 2.5 seconds, all opponents struck by the chains are brought to Ares, where they suffer damage and stun.
