Grummen's Review:

Ares is a very powerful card, but it must be said that he is rather delicate, with only 900 base health.

Thus, you must be very careful when using him as he is easily knocked out. My play style actually has Ares out in the back most of the time just passively gaining energy until he can use his killer God Smack. You don't want to have Ares lingering in combat since you'd rather have him save up for SP2.

With that said, Ares' God Smack is easily the best SP2 in the game, if you discount Shazam's potential flurry of powerful SP2s after activating the Supermove. God Smack is like Heat Vision, only with around twice the potential damage. It typically knocks out just about any opponent in Ares' level range, and even if it doesn't, the opposing team now cannot block for ten seconds. It's devastating in every way.

Ares also could be the best counter to Raven there is, being able to completely discount her infamous passive by smashing through her in a single SP2.

The best gear to use with him is obviously the Sword (War God) and Ibistick. But be careful with Raven if you use the Ibistick. If she happens to resurrect after your SP2 then the DOT caused by the Ibistick can activate her passive.

Verdict: A literally smashing card, Ares' unblockable SP2 can be a complete game changer but one must be very precise in his usage. 87/100.
