I mentioned this in a separate thread. In hindsight, I think it’s poorly designed. This currently version of Ares should be the Ares 2.0 we will fight in the future, similar to how Collector and Grandmaster have a second version of themselves.

Ares has a specific instructions on how to avoid damage from his special attacks, but what does Kabam do? They don’t ease you in to a new champion’s animations. What do I mean by that? From 100-90%, sure you can get used to his SP1. But what happens after that? He randomly chooses between SP1 and SP2.

What should happen?
Phase 1: allow the players to get familiar with SP1
Phase 2: allow the players to get familiar with SP2
Phase 3: allow the players to get familiar with alternating between SP1 and SP2
Phase 4 & 5: randomize the special attacks

I think that would’ve been a much pleasant experience for the players. Granted, he’s still difficult, but it becomes increasingly more difficult as the fight goes on through the above suggestion.

I agree with this for specials that are so complicated.

A clearer special indication would have helped tremendously. The eye glow thing is way too subtle to be useful and the weapons aren't obvious enough to recognize before you're getting smacked unless you're lightning fast. Something more like his standard point at you when the root spears come out for SP1, and something like Zangief's win pose with both arms pointing up for SP2 at the root spears would be great. If the point is for us to recognize it and perform the mini game perfectly, make it so most people that play the game can recognize it.

why are all the levels locked except one, would be great if someone can answer. Nowhere it was mentioned that the side quest is progression locked. Is it a bug!?

It's definitely not a bug. It's got to be intended so that you cannot collect Mysterium for 3 paths in 5 different levels.

With the top couple threat lvls giving 9,000 per path (lvl5 at least, I think lvl4 too?) and still being able to snag decent amounts at the lower tiers, they didn't want you being able to max out all the possible rewards.

Which, lets face it, is funny because the rewards in Trader's Outpost are so bad at every level, that even if you were to snag everything, it's not making much of a difference on your account at all.

From what I have heard, nearly everyone has done the debuff path for their first run. Good counters include titania, silk, hulk(ig?), sentry(ig?),

The nebula path right? Yeah i saw many videos and i might have a good team for that path but i don’t know if that team is good for ares too 😵‍💫 thanks for your reply

Silk does a good job against ares
Also you want to use a single champion against ares, as the crossfight charges are placed on the attacker

Unfortunately i have only a r4 6* silk and i’m waiting for the 7* (maybe one day 🙄) but i have titania/deathless shehulk at r3, can they deal with the all path? Thanks

Anyone with big basics deal great against ares so yeah, Titania will be great to brute force a res just remember you're going to brute force him only so save your l1 revive and team revives and use l2 revives on the path if needed.

If you have Sentry he really helps clearing the path.
