Ares has great synergy with the Blink Relic

Aggressivly Chaining to stop dashes and create early pressure is what ares is all about. Make sure to keep track of enemy Beads Timers to make sure you are using your ults on enemies whos beads are down. or ulting them after you ulted the same target last time.

If you ares ult into Hecate ult they will teleport.

If Ares Ult is cleansed the chain disappears and no damage is dealt
