 To the Death: When Ares performs the God Smack special, it shocks opponents causing them to LOSE the ability to BLOCK for a limited time.

Despite having the same ability template as Ares/Prime, Boss Ares functions differently in battle.
Strategy[]
Basic Attacks[]
| Basic Combo | Damage Pattern (% of damage stat) | Total (including Combo Ender) |
|---|---|---|
| Light (Combo Ender) | 2% - 2% - 2% - (3%) | 9% |
| Heavy | 4% - 4% -4% | 12% |
Passives[]
Ares starts the match with the timer of 1:33. When it reaches zero, Ares will grow to giant size and stomp the ground, instantly knocking out your whole team.
Throughout the battle, he will activate "Rage!" at certain health thresholds, first disabling block (which deals moderate damage, unaffected by Invulnerability), and then unless the player defends by, similar to getting a 200% on some special attacks, tapping as the bar passes through the center of a target, the character will be instantly knocked out, ignoring Resurrection or Invulnerability. Black Adam/Prime and Black Adam/Regime's shields will only reflect a very small amount of damage if they are instantly KO'ed. The Joker/Insurgency, The Joker/Prime & The Joker/The Killing Joke's passives will not trigger if he instantly KO's them.
During this ability, the character may not tag out or use specials, and if successfully defended, the character will automatically block, and his rage will do 6 damage (further reducible with block gear). This will trigger block passives, such as Wonder Woman/Prime's passive. Both starting his rage and getting it blocked will grant power to Ares' opponent as if they are hit with a basic attack.
Ares also has the unusual ability to sometimes recover quickly after being knocked back or down, and occasionally ignores stuns. This seems to be active when a health threshold for his rage is reached and is a warning that he is about to use his instant KO.
As Ares only rages as his health depletes, and lots of power is generated by taking basic attacks, it is possible to allow him to keep hitting your team with basics until you are almost at full power, and then take him down quickly.
Alternatively, certain gear/characters that can inflict DOT can reduce him to 1 health with the use of a single special. For example, Zatanna/Prime on her second tag in with The Master's Death Cart, The Ibistick, and the League of Assassins Adept Blade.
Even when controlled by players via hacking methods, Ares still counts as a Boss character, and therefore, has different interactions to certain characters' passives:
- Raven/Prime's health swap is based on absolute health instead of percentage.
- Immune to The Flash/Regime's speed boost passive.
- Cannot be controlled by The Joker Unhinged/Suicide Squad.
In addition, his passive will expire when he is knocked out (the timer will still keep running, but does nothing once reaches zero).
Abilities[]
As a boss in Breakthrough[]
As a boss card, the abilities' names are not displayed when Ares uses them. He has Weapons of War as his SP1 similar to Ares/Prime, but also has a different special 1 (firing red bursts of energy, similar to the console "Dark Energy" move). He has God Smack as his SP2 as well, which is also Unblockable (but does not disable block further), as well as a different, blockable SP2 in which he stamps his foot causing a sword to impale his opponent from below, and then slash them overhead with another sword.
As a player's card[]
