Is Ares good?

Ares is a frontline bruiser whose basic attacks hit for a slice of her Max HP, and whose first lethal blow instead makes her invincible and freezes nearby enemies in Time Stasis.

That revive makes her a flexible PvE pick, and in PvP she can spend herself on that stasis to set up her team. Every site rates her near the top. We rate her S tier.

Strengths

  • Basic attacks scale off Max HP for heavy cleave damage
  • Cheats death once and locks nearby enemies in Time Stasis
  • Rated S or better in both PvE and PvP

Weaknesses

  • Her damage leans on keeping Energy high
