Description from creator: The most standard of anti-PvE builds for Ares, though I use it in AR as well.

A 3 cooldown Special like Bonfire or Draconic Aura are ideal (though Bonfire wins out slightly), Distant Counter is key to allowing him to Vantage nuke squishy ranged units, the C slot is interchangeable. I use HP Smoke 3 but DEF Smoke 3 is good too.

Brazen ATK/DEF 3 Seal since he'll always be below the Vantage threshold for the stats.

The only bothersome part is getting him to the HP threshold, but it isn't too hard, especially in AR when you can toss him in Bolt Tower's range.

This build is incredibly effective at auto'ing PvE content most of all, and the most recent TT+ as of this writing with Duo Askr is a breeze with him there.
