Ares

Ares is a Legendary Slayer built around high single-target and AoE damage with debuff synergy. His Basic, Furious Onslaught, steadily reduces enemy DEF and INIT, enabling his Special, Brutal Cleave, and Ultimate, Carnage Momentum, to hit harder. Passive abilities like Warborn Frenzy and his Imprint bonus significantly increase Strong Hit chances when enemies are debuffed, making him a reliable damage dealer. Compared to other Slayers, Ares combines raw output with consistent debuff utility, giving him an edge against shield-heavy or high-DEF targets. Recommended Imprints include Morrigan for extended debuff duration control, Viviane for boosting Basic damage, and Oda Nobunaga for stacking damage and survivability on enemy kills. Top weapon choices are Mjolnir for burst damage every third hit, Worldsplitter for boosting Strong Hit damage and reducing incoming damage, and Aten to amplify all debuff-related damage. These synergies ensure Ares can rapidly dismantle enemy lines while maintaining his offensive presence throughout the battle.
