Glad I found this series yesterday, every one of these videos are really helpful. Only wish there was a video everyday. Of course that's impossible, but people can dream, right?
TrendKiLL maybe forgot to mention that you can escape for Ares Ultimate (No Scape), if 5 players are caught by this skill, the 5 players have a small fraction of time to attack Ares together and kill him before he its ultimate take effect. Honestly I get very angry that to happen if I am Ares, commonly happens when you have half or less of your maximum health, and if one of the affected gods is an assasin equipped with penetration and critical hits.
Yeah, it should be common knowledge that he isn't damage immune but for some reason every time I see people get ulted by him they instantly turn and try to run away. Like where do you thinking you're going?
What was happening is that a long standing bug with the spectator client where gods can be visually stuck in their ultimate when they are freely moving around in the game. In this specific case, it looked like Anubis was walking around while ulting and when he started his Plague of Locusts. If you look closely, however, you will see Anubis actually stops when he channels his 1 because he is still rooted, it just doesn't seem like it because of the perspective. This was also why Trend's Ares footage had Chains sticking out of his abdomen while he wasn't ulting.
yeah i was just describing what he looks like because of the glitchyness. i knew there wasn't some game breaking bug that allowed him to move while casting. otherwise everyone would be using it
TrendKiLLv01 :D Obviously! thx for the respond man! btw, i love this series, ive played this game since beginning and i still see some stuff i overlooked :D no groundbreaking things tho
Unless the skill description is wrong (which it may be), I think that the stun duration is 1s + 0.2 per enemy hit (including the first). This would mean a duration of 1.2 -2.0s instead of the 1.0-1.8 described in the video. That said, it is a minor error. The videos are great and very useful.
Ey Trendkill, nice video as always, Ares is my second favorite guardian right behind Sobek. But, I may have skipped over it in the video, but you never covered why you don't always get aura items on Ares. I'd agree; because of his DoTs, Spear and Gem of Iso are good picks if you want to get a bit aggressive, while providing some utility for your team.
Story time! TL;DR - I suck and became a victim of heavy bondage... ;-; I was pretty much the person you mentioned in the Neith video - I playe through all the first gods the week I started, found that "Holy shit, Ao Kuang isn't just good - he reks fejse!" so I started playing him like crazy and went 11/2 at a regular basis (since I was below rank 10 I went up against new players - might've helped huehue)... Then I told the people that actually got me playing Smite in the first place, two rank 30 players pretty high up in the ranked lists (I think, I don't know how to check that yet because I haven't tried) that "Hurrah, I don't suck anymore!" and one of mah friends challenged me to a 1v1.... as Ares. I got slaughtered. In the beginning I went straight for MP or magical power or whatever it's called in Smite (I've only played for 7 days xD) because I expected Ares to be a melee AD guy who I could poke down easily with my MIGHTY SWORD - in other words, I mixed up Ares and Tyr. I think.Well... The cripple on Ares' Shackles stopped me from using my Water Illusion, and I didn't get beads fast enough so he snowballed and got insanely strong. I think I did a big mistake when I tried to get away from Ares every time he shackled me instead of doing as much damage as I could meanwhile the cripple lasted, too.... either way, he killed me, over and over and over again. If anybody, for some odd reason, would go 1v1 Ares against Ao Kuang... don't do my thing. Time to get some revenge, mo********er. I'm comin' for you.
This doesn't work, at least not in the recent patches. This is shown if Ares casts his ult before Athena ults away, she is pulled back. Correct me if I'm wrong, but given this, I'm sure that getting behind a wall would not stop his stun pull
Nobody wastes beads on any of his abilities other then his ult. I've been playing him for a while now and that's how they play it. Other then that he isn't screwed if he misses his 1, if I miss my 1 I pop my 2 call my team over and then start my 3 while pushing them back to their tower and if they have a lot of damage I pop my 2 and fall back to the tower using my 3 to wipe the minion wave. I have found that the no escape is useful to bait Pure beads (like you mentioned at 8:30) and I usually get one level of it early game to bait the other team into spending cash on the beads which will allow my team a slight gold advantage on the enemy. A huge problem with Ares is that his ult will quite easily get him killed if the enemies decide to just run toward him and attack him, unlike Chaac and a few other gods that get some kind of jumpy ult he is not invincible for the duration of his and it also pulls x amount of enemies to him which could go very pear shaped if you don't execute it well/smart.Otherwise I enjoy your reviews they are very extensive and I have learned a few things from them. Look forward to your next video :)
Reavenator Who said anything about a team fight? Team fights weren't mentioned... being focused during a team fight isn't the problem (because most team fights don't break out until around lvl 15... it's not Arena after-all & most supports will have plenty of defences by that point), but ulting to pull your enemy adc & supp back into tower while you're lvl 7 or 8 to save a fleeing adc while your enemy has just run through your tower to chase (yes most male players are that aggressive).. then have them ult you & kill you while you're vulnerable sucks... Not every player will use pure beads, if there are two aggressive players in duo.. they may skip pure beads entirely & try to focus you down after they're shackled but before your pull goes off.. >_> Yes one enemy god will die (thank-you tower) but the other god has most likely killed you & is ready to clear the minions and attack the tower while it's defenceless..
Joy O'Hanlon Depends on how much health he has. But then again, I only play him in Arena or joust anyway. Also, I think Hades gets those protections because he can't move while ulting, but Ares can.
Reavenator Ares can only move very very slowly and like 10-15 feet in the duration of it. Chaac on the other hand seems to travel quite fast while he is invincible. Hades definitely needs his defence he gets from his ult though
There is something funny with Ares' ulti. If it is launched when your opponent is using his teleport, the catch doesn't interrupt the cast. So your enemy thinks he's safe from you once he's teleported. Hovewer, the teleport does not interrupt nor the effect neither the damages, so at the end, he will still be pulled back to Ares, even if you are at the other side of the map. This trick is quite hard to perform, and most of the time, the enemy will just try to run away or use his trinket. But still when well made, it is really fun to see a chain going through the map and your low life target pop in front of you. I made it twice in arena and once in siege. Each time I just laughed out loud.
I've had that happen to me when my beads were on cd. Worst thing ever XD I saw him running towards me, which is a sign that he's going to ult or just lock you with chains and flame you. I was my favorite Hades, so I used my1 to escape. He caught me with his ult before I had teleported under the ground. That was some scary shit lol
Reavenator I wasn't thinking with strats at that moment, but now I do use my ult whenever he gets me lol Sometimes it's hard for my brain to function properly lol
Oh, oh! Ares! =D I went from being all like "eh" to "WOHOO" once I actually put a bit of time in learning how to play him. My favorite is to make a "douchebag build", as I call it, because it lowers enemy defenses and thus really screws them over when I pull them. Helps me get a lot of kills with him. ^-^ Kinda wish there were an way to use a "keyword search" though, so I could find Aura items easier. I never like Sov or some of the more obvious ones. Once again, thanks for this video. I really liked the extra info on his 1 and 2. Didn't know some of that. youRock. =)
Must have been skipping it every time. Then again, not surprised with how quickly I always want to buy stuff, so I can go back to the battle field. Thankies. =D
if you play ares, make sure get max coldown to your ulti. Max beads 60s coldown, your ulti 45s at max coldown, so if enemy use beads at first time to escape your ulti, second time they dont have that chance, it works to whit CC imune ultis.
i play alot of Ares and i see this happen alot so i think Trendkill shud have mentioned this: ''if your really low on health and ares grabs you with no escape: DONT USE YOUR BEADS, it can do a pretty big amount of damage and all it will do is: kill you and make you waste your beads''
do you get the damage even when u use beads? if not the beads could save u from the damage. i dont play alot and almost no ares so thank you if you answer me.
Andreas Stiben You take the damage. Remember, beads ONLY cleanse CCs, they don't cleanse damage. So while the effects of being pulled are not felt (assuming timed right), the damage will still apply. I know this because one, I love playing ares and pulling people who still die thinking they can beads away, and two, I died many times from this when I first played against an ares player.
runningwild09 Andreas Stiben When against an Ares, *especially* if I have CC immunity built in (say Artemis or Nu Wa), I often prefer Greater Aegis instead of Beads. At max rank, the ult does a lot of damage, and just cleansing isn't always enough. When you can tank the damage, do, because of Aegis's long CD. But if I'm not support or jungle, I might even take Aegis and Beads if they have any other CC on their team.
Note after No Escape has been used and you are marked for his ult, distance CANNOT break the effect, you need a CC immunity item.yes you can recall while under the effect cause it doesnt do damage to stop it but as soon as he pulls on that chain, even if your in the well you go for a ride
No, you need a CC immunity item OR a CC immune ability. Anhur ult, anubis ult, aphro ult, apollo ult, arachne ult, ares ult, artemis ult, athena ult, baka ult, chaac ult, change's 2 (very hard to hit) chrono's ult, fenrir's ult, freya ult, guan ult, hades ult, hebo ult, hel cleanse, herc ult, janus ult, kumbha's ult, ne sha ult, nu wa ult, ra ult, rama ult, sylla ult, sobek ult, SWK ult, thana ult, thor ult, tyr ult, vamana ult, xbalanque's 3, and zhong ult. I wish you could still agni dash to break it...
When trendkill talked about his Ares' passive, he said that you should not build to many aura items, and that he would tell why. Trendkill never explained why, and also yes, you should uild a lot of aura items on Ares, then he becomes really powerful
I don't think the Magi's bubble bursts when his ult starts, but rather when the stun happens, which is when he pulls you in. Your bubble should still be there. i could be wrong though
The bubble dissapears when you would get pulled. One tip: Never use your beads when the bubble is up coz your bubble will still pop and your beads will be on cooldown. Awful if you do it by accident.
I'll save you time. 1. Buy beads. 2. Juke 1 3. 3 tickles unless he has 1 on you. 4. Beads on ultimate. No need for an almost 10 minute explanation. The End.
+mattack64 you shouldnt just focus on aura items as ares,because: 1. you are still a tank and you are meant to be tanky and protect your squishies. 2: you should get full cooldown reduction as ares,always!
+coolnico2000 Agreed on max CDR, I generally build, Shoes of Focus, Watcher's Gift and Blink, then into Breastplate of Valor, Mystical Mail, Shard Of The Magus, Sovereignty/Heartward, Void Stone... I've been the guy with the most kills and I've been the guy with total support
+Robby Bach eh I think shoes and pythagroan or whatever it's called is more than enough. it's only 5% off max cool down? plus it's another aura item. I'll give up 5% cool down for another 30 power
Just because I didn't see it in my brief skimming of the comments, IIRC Baka's ult sits on the ground for 5 seconds. But, you might not count that because they need to stay in the small area to be crippled. Cupid's ult may be longer than 3 sec, but I can't remember the number off hand.
My favorite experiences as Ares was when a baset attacked me and forced a retreat but didn't retreat herself. I came back with most of my health restored and crushed her easy since she hand't healed from the first round. ARES SMASH!
Yeah, he forgot about it, lol. I think the reason for not buying 6 aura items is because boots and breastplate of valor are still better options (I also build a damage item on him, but it's not really necessary).
There are times when I love being pulled into an Ares ult, and times when I hate being pulled into an Ares ult. I love being able to use my beads and charge him as soon as he lands from that ult. I hate when my beads are still on cd, and he's surrounded by the rest of his team. Even if I use my beads, if he is surrounded by his team, there is no point in jumping for him because I know his team (unless they are idiots) will dive to protect. As for as the bead cd, that is the worst. If the enemy team has a Ymir and an Ares, it is hard to decide who to use the beads for. Ymir has that freeze ability, which will make you extremely vulnerable to every single enemy. Ares has that ult, which draws you in, damages you, and makes you a target for his team. These two gods together could turn the tide of a game easily. It is always a bitch to be against a team that has both. Also, for you Trend, can we get a Hades know your enemy? Hades is my best and favorite, but there may be some tricks or sneaky hiding things that I still haven't figured out yet.
I am a master 10 ares and i have played him for 2 years now and i have never ever encountered that clitch with his chais so was this like a bugged sever??
You shoulda mention : Beads and aegis cd is about 90 sec right? But Ares ult is like 30 sec less if you buy cdr. So you can do intentional ulti so they waste beads. Then in 60 sec get whole team
Lv3 beads is 90s, Ares' ult is also 90s. In theory you can cleanse it off every time unless Ares buys cooldown reduction. At max cooldown (BP of Valor +CD boots) Ares' ult is 54s, but that requires a significant investment for a support. Not buying gold boots also hurts his gold income. Most Ares will have no cooldown reduction.
xlr2010011 Actually most ares buy Brestplate of valor. Its 25% cooldown which is enuff to make work my theory. Tested and working... You wont sacrifice much and you will have about 18 seconds inbtw the beds cd and ares ulti.
scheve1994 So you havent played at high levels of play.In conquest no Are would buy cdr because late game tfs happen around 2 minutes and I early game he could ult to remove beads 1 or 2 and later ult again. Its better to use No escape as beads/magis/aegis burner rather than for the pull.
one time in a joust match my friend walked into lane, got triple chained and flamed on by ares, and they both died when he got tower dived at level two. rippi in kippi :^)
I'm not a native English speaker and had no idea what a tick is, in the context of the searing flesh ability. I'm guessing one tick equals 0.5 as in the description of the ability it could say *damage per 0.5 s* instead of *damage per tick*.
Ares also has really weak lane clear, so couple that with this punishable nature after missing chains means you can go pretty aggressive on Ares early on. psst...buff Ares :^)
Other than mentioning that aura items are somewhat important on him because of his passive, I don't talk about builds in this series. This is an intro to the god, not how the god may build. But that's great info for the comment section.
you forgot that ares can build coldown reduction which will make his ulti cooldown shorter than beads which mkes them half useless if you playing aggainst an ares in arena or assault or joust the only defense against a pro ares player is the magis blessing but it takes one of your items away
i never knew his damage didn't stack. Not a huge ares player, but I always see him spam his chains after an ult. Guess a lot of people are just playing him wrong.
+askmiller to be honest the in game descriptions don't always tell you things this. this is why he said to use the extra chains at the last minute to extend its affects.
My Smite is not working it keeps on giving me "unable to connect to server" at the log-in screen for the past 3 days and support is saying it's my internet when I play other muiltiplayer games perfectly ;-; someone help!
jest so people are aware, bolster defenses give cc immunity for 2 sec after cast iv used it to get out of a xbalanque ult counter to me pulling him and his team, so be aware if its a smart ares he starts the game with an cc immunity
uh tk I think I missed this but you mentioned why you don't want to build all aura in a few minutes.... but I don't think you actually went over why. while his passive is a nice boon for buying typical tank items such as void stone and sovereignty other aura items are situational or just useless. rod of asceplus... might be nice for your healers... witch blade... nice for against gods with insane attack speed... not so much for anything else...you could get a better physical protection or movement speed item then witch blade if there is no enemy with high attack speed. a lot of people believe full cdr on ares is for his ult and to counter beads... true to a point. In assault and arena ares may come into contact with enemies with cdr who still have beads on cd but in conquest or siege those moments are few and far in between. however this also means ares is capable of crippling with his 1 and bringing a world of pain with his 3, and even mitagte cc more often. I think only khumba karna can lock an enemy down longer and better then ares for so long . breastplate of valor is a god send. high physical protections high mana and cdr. yes no health boost but with how mana hungry ares can be early game its almost a must have. take a hint from ymir and hades. pop in from un expected places with blink. ive lost count the amount of times ive pulled people from out of their own towers by blinking through the respective mana camp. ive also lost count how many times ive stolen gold fury and fire giant by blinking in at the last second... typically dieing in the process but if im lucky enough ill take a few with me... and at least they didn't get it. yes hes a monster in arena and assault... but hes still strong in conquest assuming the ares can land his chains and out maneuver his enemy. if an enemy assassin is on an ally... chain them... it gives them a chance to use their escape and keeps the assassin from chasing down your ally or closing the distance. whats my usual build?(ofc still build for the situation): support: shoes of focus, breastplate of valor, sovereignty, void stone, pestilence/bulwark of hope, pythagoreams piece (or situational item such as magis) bruiser: (make even herc hurt... if you can afford it) shoes of focus, breastplate of valor, mystic mail, pestilence/bulwark of hope, void stone, rod of tahuti.
In some of the lore for Ares, he would "support" his armies by leading the charge, and engulfing his enemies in flames. Basically, the lore says he was the tank.
Cons: low damage
My fucking ass
I miss the old maps.
Glad I found this series yesterday, every one of these videos are really helpful. Only wish there was a video everyday.
Of course that's impossible, but people can dream, right?
07:53 ...Go home Anubis... You're drunk
Heibel I
Don't worry Anubis has been a alcoholic for about 3 centuries and is now getting hel, thanks for the support (this is what my life comes to)
TrendKiLL maybe forgot to mention that you can escape for Ares Ultimate (No Scape), if 5 players are caught by this skill, the 5 players have a small fraction of time to attack Ares together and kill him before he its ultimate take effect. Honestly I get very angry that to happen if I am Ares, commonly happens when you have half or less of your maximum health, and if one of the affected gods is an assasin equipped with penetration and critical hits.
Yeah, it should be common knowledge that he isn't damage immune but for some reason every time I see people get ulted by him they instantly turn and try to run away. Like where do you thinking you're going?
tmar23 Its a natural human response to try and escape from imminent danger lol. "Fight or flight." Most will end up choosing flight.
Mikoto Suoh Yes, pixelated death is scary, it keeps me up at night...
tmar23 Please act like you HAVEN'T tried running away from an Ares ult until you realized it was smarter to attack instead.
Mikoto Suoh Okay, okay. I'll admit it, the day he was released I did it once. You got me.
Glitchy as fuck. Anubis using his 1 while walking around
What was happening is that a long standing bug with the spectator client where gods can be visually stuck in their ultimate when they are freely moving around in the game. In this specific case, it looked like Anubis was walking around while ulting and when he started his Plague of Locusts. If you look closely, however, you will see Anubis actually stops when he channels his 1 because he is still rooted, it just doesn't seem like it because of the perspective. This was also why Trend's Ares footage had Chains sticking out of his abdomen while he wasn't ulting.
yeah i was just describing what he looks like because of the glitchyness. i knew there wasn't some game breaking bug that allowed him to move while casting. otherwise everyone would be using it
Rhea Silhouette that's his 4 not his 1. At least, the stance he was doing.
***** i see. he's floating in the 4 animation but using his other abilities like his 2 and 1
he is a wizard... so deal with it! :D
7:54 lol anubis :)
Anubis is god now..
Anubis is so fabulous~
VanilleRikkuTifa Ha ha ha ha, "Getting tired of your shit, Anubis! Go home already!". :D
7:54 My God, Anubis has ascended.
love that TK gets to put a little of his own style into some of these. wish he did a little more.
7:55 yo wtf is that anubis doing? is he glitched in his ultimate stance? xD
Haha, yeah. The spectator client is a bit buggy since the latest patch :D
TrendKiLLv01 :D Obviously! thx for the respond man! btw, i love this series, ive played this game since beginning and i still see some stuff i overlooked :D no groundbreaking things tho
That was awesome to watch. I lol'd pretty hard.
wow...haven't seen TrendKiLL since the time he was doing Skyrim/Oblivion let's plays o.O . Glad to see he's still going strong :D
The Anubis floating in his ult animation was hilarious.
Got you shackled in my embrace I won't let go of you.
Did you just forgot to tell us why NOT to buy all aura items for Ares? (you promised to tell us :( 1:48
''Ares hasn't got alot of damage''
Pffft,i laugh in your face!
8:06 That flying Anubis :D
Anyone else notice the Anubis bug where he was stuck in his 1 animation at 8:08 c':
That's the animation he uses during his ultimate
***** Ah thank you c:
Morgz Jesus confirmed.
Unless the skill description is wrong (which it may be), I think that the stun duration is 1s + 0.2 per enemy hit (including the first). This would mean a duration of 1.2 -2.0s instead of the 1.0-1.8 described in the video. That said, it is a minor error. The videos are great and very useful.

Story time!
TL;DR - I suck and became a victim of heavy bondage... ;-;
I was pretty much the person you mentioned in the Neith video - I playe through all the first gods the week I started, found that "Holy shit, Ao Kuang isn't just good - he reks fejse!" so I started playing him like crazy and went 11/2 at a regular basis (since I was below rank 10 I went up against new players - might've helped huehue)...

I got slaughtered. In the beginning I went straight for MP or magical power or whatever it's called in Smite (I've only played for 7 days xD) because I expected Ares to be a melee AD guy who I could poke down easily with my MIGHTY SWORD - in other words, I mixed up Ares and Tyr.

If anybody, for some odd reason, would go 1v1 Ares against Ao Kuang... don't do my thing.
Time to get some revenge, mo********er. I'm comin' for you.
love that Anubis glitch at 8:12
That stuck Anubis animation fears no Ares!
This is such a good series!
Honestly, can you ever be so absorbed in a team fight that you don't notice the loud sound effect and "I HAVE YOU NOW!" blaring in your ears?
That anubis at 8:10 loooll
Also a thing you forgot to mention if you are in a No Escape if you get behind a wall before Ares pulls you in you will not be pulled in or stunned.
This doesn't work, at least not in the recent patches. This is shown if Ares casts his ult before Athena ults away, she is pulled back. Correct me if I'm wrong, but given this, I'm sure that getting behind a wall would not stop his stun pull
michael ngo I've been pulled through walls several times. Pretty sure we got baited right there.
michael ngo my game early to day would beg to differ
Nope. As an Ares main, I have told people to "GET OVER HERE" through pesky walls many times.
then when it happened earlier today it miss have been a bug involving ymirs wall
Nobody wastes beads on any of his abilities other then his ult. I've been playing him for a while now and that's how they play it. Other then that he isn't screwed if he misses his 1, if I miss my 1 I pop my 2 call my team over and then start my 3 while pushing them back to their tower and if they have a lot of damage I pop my 2 and fall back to the tower using my 3 to wipe the minion wave. I have found that the no escape is useful to bait Pure beads (like you mentioned at 8:30) and I usually get one level of it early game to bait the other team into spending cash on the beads which will allow my team a slight gold advantage on the enemy. A huge problem with Ares is that his ult will quite easily get him killed if the enemies decide to just run toward him and attack him, unlike Chaac and a few other gods that get some kind of jumpy ult he is not invincible for the duration of his and it also pulls x amount of enemies to him which could go very pear shaped if you don't execute it well/smart.Otherwise I enjoy your reviews they are very extensive and I have learned a few things from them. Look forward to your next video :)
If you focus the tank in a teamfight, you might kill him, but after that you'll notice you only have 5 hp left.
Reavenator Who said anything about a team fight? Team fights weren't mentioned... being focused during a team fight isn't the problem (because most team fights don't break out until around lvl 15... it's not Arena after-all & most supports will have plenty of defences by that point), but ulting to pull your enemy adc & supp back into tower while you're lvl 7 or 8 to save a fleeing adc while your enemy has just run through your tower to chase (yes most male players are that aggressive).. then have them ult you & kill you while you're vulnerable sucks...

Joy O'Hanlon Depends on how much health he has. But then again, I only play him in Arena or joust anyway.
Also, I think Hades gets those protections because he can't move while ulting, but Ares can.
Reavenator Ares can only move very very slowly and like 10-15 feet in the duration of it. Chaac on the other hand seems to travel quite fast while he is invincible. Hades definitely needs his defence he gets from his ult though
7:45 I like that crucified anubis pose
Ares, God of Get-CC-Immunity-or-Die. Love the guy.
That's the one thing I love the most is peoples misconception that building all aura items on Ares is how it is supposed to be done.
There is something funny with Ares' ulti. If it is launched when your opponent is using his teleport, the catch doesn't interrupt the cast. So your enemy thinks he's safe from you once he's teleported. Hovewer, the teleport does not interrupt nor the effect neither the damages, so at the end, he will still be pulled back to Ares, even if you are at the other side of the map.
This trick is quite hard to perform, and most of the time, the enemy will just try to run away or use his trinket. But still when well made, it is really fun to see a chain going through the map and your low life target pop in front of you.
I made it twice in arena and once in siege. Each time I just laughed out loud.
Yeah, I once ulted a Mercury while he was recalling in mid lane. I dragged him back halfway along the map and killed him. Good times.
I've had that happen to me when my beads were on cd. Worst thing ever XD I saw him running towards me, which is a sign that he's going to ult or just lock you with chains and flame you. I was my favorite Hades, so I used my1 to escape. He caught me with his ult before I had teleported under the ground. That was some scary shit lol
Nyx Kere You could of ulted to stop the pull. Sucks to waste it like that but it's worth it, trust me.
Reavenator I wasn't thinking with strats at that moment, but now I do use my ult whenever he gets me lol Sometimes it's hard for my brain to function properly lol
Oh, oh! Ares! =D
I went from being all like "eh" to "WOHOO" once I actually put a bit of time in learning how to play him. My favorite is to make a "douchebag build", as I call it, because it lowers enemy defenses and thus really screws them over when I pull them. Helps me get a lot of kills with him. ^-^
Kinda wish there were an way to use a "keyword search" though, so I could find Aura items easier. I never like Sov or some of the more obvious ones.
Once again, thanks for this video. I really liked the extra info on his 1 and 2. Didn't know some of that. youRock. =)
In the item shop, under the utility bar you gonna find aura.
Must have been skipping it every time. Then again, not surprised with how quickly I always want to buy stuff, so I can go back to the battle field. Thankies. =D
8:08 OMG Anubis had me in tears XD
if you play ares, make sure get max coldown to your ulti. Max beads 60s coldown, your ulti 45s at max coldown, so if enemy use beads at first time to escape your ulti, second time they dont have that chance, it works to whit CC imune ultis.
i play alot of Ares and i see this happen alot so i think Trendkill shud have mentioned this: ''if your really low on health and ares grabs you with no escape: DONT USE YOUR BEADS, it can do a pretty big amount of damage and all it will do is: kill you and make you waste your beads''
do you get the damage even when u use beads? if not the beads could save u from the damage.
i dont play alot and almost no ares so thank you if you answer me.
Andreas Stiben You take the damage. Remember, beads ONLY cleanse CCs, they don't cleanse damage. So while the effects of being pulled are not felt (assuming timed right), the damage will still apply. I know this because one, I love playing ares and pulling people who still die thinking they can beads away, and two, I died many times from this when I first played against an ares player.
runningwild09 i see. makes sense, thank you.
runningwild09 Andreas Stiben When against an Ares, *especially* if I have CC immunity built in (say Artemis or Nu Wa), I often prefer Greater Aegis instead of Beads. At max rank, the ult does a lot of damage, and just cleansing isn't always enough. When you can tank the damage, do, because of Aegis's long CD. But if I'm not support or jungle, I might even take Aegis and Beads if they have any other CC on their team.
MERCURY YES BABY! he's amazing, excited to see him explained although he's my main
Note after No Escape has been used and you are marked for his ult, distance CANNOT break the effect, you need a CC immunity item.yes you can recall while under the effect cause it doesnt do damage to stop it but as soon as he pulls on that chain, even if your in the well you go for a ride
No, you need a CC immunity item OR a CC immune ability. Anhur ult, anubis ult, aphro ult, apollo ult, arachne ult, ares ult, artemis ult, athena ult, baka ult, chaac ult, change's 2 (very hard to hit) chrono's ult, fenrir's ult, freya ult, guan ult, hades ult, hebo ult, hel cleanse, herc ult, janus ult, kumbha's ult, ne sha ult, nu wa ult, ra ult, rama ult, sylla ult, sobek ult, SWK ult, thana ult, thor ult, tyr ult, vamana ult, xbalanque's 3, and zhong ult.
I wish you could still agni dash to break it...
trendkill are you coming back to your old channel or not? miss watching you play games other than smite :(
When trendkill talked about his Ares' passive, he said that you should not build to many aura items, and that he would tell why. Trendkill never explained why, and also yes, you should uild a lot of aura items on Ares, then he becomes really powerful
trendkill is good at these
That floating goobis tho @ 8:13
I don't think the Magi's bubble bursts when his ult starts, but rather when the stun happens, which is when he pulls you in. Your bubble should still be there. i could be wrong though
The bubble dissapears when you would get pulled. One tip: Never use your beads when the bubble is up coz your bubble will still pop and your beads will be on cooldown. Awful if you do it by accident.
I'll save you time.
1. Buy beads.
2. Juke 1
3. 3 tickles unless he has 1 on you.
4. Beads on ultimate.
No need for an almost 10 minute explanation.
The End.
Famous last words.
That would be terrifying, a floating static Goobis....
TrendKiLL, would you mind sharing why you shouldn't "focus on building too many aura items" (1:49)? You said you'd get back to it...
+mattack64 you shouldnt just focus on aura items as ares,because: 1. you are still a tank and you are meant to be tanky and protect your squishies. 2: you should get full cooldown reduction as ares,always!
+coolnico2000 Agreed on max CDR, I generally build, Shoes of Focus, Watcher's Gift and Blink, then into Breastplate of Valor, Mystical Mail, Shard Of The Magus, Sovereignty/Heartward, Void Stone... I've been the guy with the most kills and I've been the guy with total support
+coolnico2000 agreed you need to be able to use your 1 as often as possible
+Robby Bach eh I think shoes and pythagroan or whatever it's called is more than enough. it's only 5% off max cool down? plus it's another aura item. I'll give up 5% cool down for another 30 power
Incoming Anubis buff? Kappa
7:50
Spectator mode be glitchy. :D
Just because I didn't see it in my brief skimming of the comments, IIRC Baka's ult sits on the ground for 5 seconds. But, you might not count that because they need to stay in the small area to be crippled. Cupid's ult may be longer than 3 sec, but I can't remember the number off hand.
You should do Hades, I like him and I would like to see how you put dirt on him
My favorite experiences as Ares was when a baset attacked me and forced a retreat but didn't retreat herself. I came back with most of my health restored and crushed her easy since she hand't healed from the first round. ARES SMASH!
What was the reason to not build pure Aura items again?
Yeah, he forgot about it, lol.
I think the reason for not buying 6 aura items is because boots and breastplate of valor are still better options (I also build a damage item on him, but it's not really necessary).
There are times when I love being pulled into an Ares ult, and times when I hate being pulled into an Ares ult. I love being able to use my beads and charge him as soon as he lands from that ult. I hate when my beads are still on cd, and he's surrounded by the rest of his team. Even if I use my beads, if he is surrounded by his team, there is no point in jumping for him because I know his team (unless they are idiots) will dive to protect. As for as the bead cd, that is the worst. If the enemy team has a Ymir and an Ares, it is hard to decide who to use the beads for. Ymir has that freeze ability, which will make you extremely vulnerable to every single enemy. Ares has that ult, which draws you in, damages you, and makes you a target for his team. These two gods together could turn the tide of a game easily. It is always a bitch to be against a team that has both.
Also, for you Trend, can we get a Hades know your enemy? Hades is my best and favorite, but there may be some tricks or sneaky hiding things that I still haven't figured out yet.
7:55 Anubis wants a hug
I love Xbalanque when I'm against an Ares, Rising Jaguar completely nullifies his ult if you time it right.
And his ultimate can save your team If you use it soon.
Did that anubis walk around floating in death gaze?
I am a master 10 ares and i have played him for 2 years now and i have never ever encountered that clitch with his chais so was this like a bugged sever??
Great! Now everybody knows how the hell to counter one of my main Gods! You´re somehting Else! [VVGR]
i love these man should i start uploading this game?
That Goobis at 7:50 though
I feel like you should have mentioned that even if you cleanse the CC from Ares ult you still take the dmg
You should make ares to Mars the Roman version because he is the patron god of that pantheon and he is one of their main gods
You shoulda mention : Beads and aegis cd is about 90 sec right? But Ares ult is like 30 sec less if you buy cdr. So you can do intentional ulti so they waste beads. Then in 60 sec get whole team
Lv3 beads is 90s, Ares' ult is also 90s. In theory you can cleanse it off every time unless Ares buys cooldown reduction. At max cooldown (BP of Valor +CD boots) Ares' ult is 54s, but that requires a significant investment for a support. Not buying gold boots also hurts his gold income. Most Ares will have no cooldown reduction.
xlr2010011 Actually most ares buy Brestplate of valor. Its 25% cooldown which is enuff to make work my theory. Tested and working... You wont sacrifice much and you will have about 18 seconds inbtw the beds cd and ares ulti.
xlr2010011 I've never seen an Ares that didn't buy CDR. It's just too good to pass on. That aside, you can always change Midas Boots to Focus later.
scheve1994 Yeah like i said 99% ares have a cdr. Im mastery 2 with ares not much but its enuff to understand all about him.
scheve1994 So you havent played at high levels of play.In conquest no Are would buy cdr because late game tfs happen around 2 minutes and I early game he could ult to remove beads 1 or 2 and later ult again. Its better to use No escape as beads/magis/aegis burner rather than for the pull.
7:53 to 8:08 Holy crap, Anubis is Jeebus.
WAIT, WAIT.
IF ANUBIS IS JEEBUS, THEN MILLARD FILLMORE DID 9/11! THEY ALWAYS SAID I WAS CRAZY!
I play as Ares 95% of the time and I never knew you could use multiple shackles -_-
+Jake Frig (The Duck Gods) That was me up until my 2nd mastery with Ares when I actually read the ability... xD
+Matthew Shapiro I just got to God Rank 9 with him, and I didn't know you could use multiple chains. Probably would've come in handy at some point.
You obviously don't like to read.
THIS GAME LOOK AWESOME
the ammount of bugs this game displayed is hilarious lol
one time in a joust match my friend walked into lane, got triple chained and flamed on by ares, and they both died when he got tower dived at level two. rippi in kippi :^)
You forgot to talk about cooldown reduction items. They work great with Ares and can be very annoying for all enemies.
what that posidon at 9.13 survived ares fre and a goobus ult
Is ares damaged when he is up in the air from kukulkhan ult?
When are you going to make know your enemy for Nee zha and for Zeus
I'm not a native English speaker and had no idea what a tick is, in the context of the searing flesh ability. I'm guessing one tick equals 0.5 as in the description of the ability it could say *damage per 0.5 s* instead of *damage per tick*.
Great video!
Ares also has really weak lane clear, so couple that with this punishable nature after missing chains means you can go pretty aggressive on Ares early on.
psst...buff Ares :^)
That buggy Anubis tho lol 8:10
I think he should have mentioned something about buying cdr items on him, so that his ult have a smaller cd than beads.
Other than mentioning that aura items are somewhat important on him because of his passive, I don't talk about builds in this series. This is an intro to the god, not how the god may build. But that's great info for the comment section.
TrendKiLLv01
Ah, I see.
lol. That floating Anubis
Ares need a Buff right now
you forgot that ares can build coldown reduction which will make his ulti cooldown shorter than beads which mkes them half useless if you playing aggainst an ares in arena or assault or joust the only defense against a pro ares player is the magis blessing but it takes one of your items away
Love ya TK
ares is so op, love him, Kinda dies easy though cause of the focus XD
i never knew his damage didn't stack. Not a huge ares player, but I always see him spam his chains after an ult. Guess a lot of people are just playing him wrong.
+askmiller to be honest the in game descriptions don't always tell you things this. this is why he said to use the extra chains at the last minute to extend its affects.
I spam chain after ulti anyway. Because the ulti should pull like 2,3 people. So I want all of them crippled as soon as possible.
My Smite is not working it keeps on giving me "unable to connect to server" at the log-in screen for the past 3 days and support is saying it's my internet when I play other muiltiplayer games perfectly ;-; someone help!
so many bugs in the footage..that goobis in his ult animation just walking round
lol I saw that
9:46 that fail though
jest so people are aware, bolster defenses give cc immunity for 2 sec after cast iv used it to get out of a xbalanque ult counter to me pulling him and his team, so be aware if its a smart ares he starts the game with an cc immunity
Called the Mercury vid. I said in Scylla's vid that they should do Mercury.
Totally called it.
Shut up
Shogue Rude.
Nude.
Shogue Brood.
Food.
Crude.
Dude.
Shoo'd
Loo'd
Cooed.
Gud(a).
When is the next know your enemy coming out?? COME ON ALREADY :(
are you guys doing all the gods as possible?
ARES FTW
Lol aegis pendant definitely prevents you from getting pulled by area ult XP
You said you were gonna talk about the aura inate yet nothing is said :(
what's the best build for ares in siege and arena?
i personally run auramitems that had protection and magical damage as well as health
+Gary “Havic” Campbell aura item£
Why did so many bugs happen in this video? I mean the shackles remaining visible, anubis not moving..
Spectator mode...
uh tk I think I missed this but you mentioned why you don't want to build all aura in a few minutes.... but I don't think you actually went over why.
while his passive is a nice boon for buying typical tank items such as void stone and sovereignty other aura items are situational or just useless. rod of asceplus... might be nice for your healers... witch blade... nice for against gods with insane attack speed... not so much for anything else...you could get a better physical protection or movement speed item then witch blade if there is no enemy with high attack speed.
a lot of people believe full cdr on ares is for his ult and to counter beads... true to a point. In assault and arena ares may come into contact with enemies with cdr who still have beads on cd but in conquest or siege those moments are few and far in between. however this also means ares is capable of crippling with his 1 and bringing a world of pain with his 3, and even mitagte cc more often. I think only khumba karna can lock an enemy down longer and better then ares for so long .
breastplate of valor is a god send. high physical protections high mana and cdr. yes no health boost but with how mana hungry ares can be early game its almost a must have.
take a hint from ymir and hades. pop in from un expected places with blink. ive lost count the amount of times ive pulled people from out of their own towers by blinking through the respective mana camp. ive also lost count how many times ive stolen gold fury and fire giant by blinking in at the last second... typically dieing in the process but if im lucky enough ill take a few with me... and at least they didn't get it.
yes hes a monster in arena and assault... but hes still strong in conquest assuming the ares can land his chains and out maneuver his enemy.
if an enemy assassin is on an ally... chain them... it gives them a chance to use their escape and keeps the assassin from chasing down your ally or closing the distance.
whats my usual build?(ofc still build for the situation):
support: shoes of focus, breastplate of valor, sovereignty, void stone, pestilence/bulwark of hope, pythagoreams piece (or situational item such as magis)
bruiser: (make even herc hurt... if you can afford it)
shoes of focus, breastplate of valor, mystic mail, pestilence/bulwark of hope, void stone, rod of tahuti.
I never understood why they made Ares a guardian and not a warrior, it just doesn't seem right to me seeing as the God of War.
He does as much damage as a warrior, and I think his kit, at least his passive and 2, are great thematically.
In some of the lore for Ares, he would "support" his armies by leading the charge, and engulfing his enemies in flames. Basically, the lore says he was the tank.
Mikoto Suoh Yeah, he supported his dudes by killing everyone else. Thats how he rolls. :D
Helllo evrybody! nice episode ddude
Isn't ulti stun is "1s. + 0.2 per enemy hit", so minimum is 1.2s. for 1 enemy and maximum is 2s. for 5 enemies?
P.S. goobis mvp
That Yisus Anubis... New Skin? 8:10
where is episode number 9????
LOL the anubis in in his ult form stuck
