Tips & Strategy

  1. Blink Rune into No Escape is the classic combo. Blink into the enemy team, ult immediately, and follow up with chains on anyone who used their escape.
  2. Shackles cripple enemies, preventing dashes and leaps. Chain the enemy jungler when they dive your carry to shut down their escape.
  3. Each aura item you build increases your passive damage. Ares deals more damage the more defensive items he has.
