The Blade of The War God is Ares's signature Gear, it is a piece of Epic (4-Star) gear, evolved from the Rare (3-Star) gear, Bloody Sword. The unevolved version can be obtained through Online Battles, Survivor Mode, Gear Booster Packs, Gear Lockers, Nth Metal Packs, Nth Metal Pro Packs, or Nth Metal Ultimate Packs.
Effects[]
- 50% - 70% DAMAGE BOOST to basic attacks
- [Ares]: 100% AREA EFFECT: opponent's team takes 10% - 20% damage from Special 2
- [EVOLVED] 35% - 45% CRIT chance on basic attacks
Strategy[]
The Blade of The War God is one of the most popular pieces of traditional 3/4 star gear. Its large and straightforward basic damage boost and crit chance for any user makes it a solid choice to simply bludgeon your opponents. Its Area Effect is also quite practical given Ares/Prime's fearsome special 2, further elevated with the release of the Tantu Totem. This gear is also great for The Merciless/Metal, as he's required to perform basic attacks in order to make his next special unblockable and his SP2 is very powerful.
For non-Ares characters, alternatives with the same basic damage/crit stats include the Powered Eskrima Sticks, Netherrealm Kama, and Promethium Longsword.

Trivia[]
- Visually, while Ares uses unarmed combat for his basic attacks, Ares/Prime can be seen using a sword that bears a strong resemblance to the Blade of The War God in his special 1 and supermove. Ares/The Merciless Metal uses a different sword for those abilities however.
