In the recent Warsong Update for Hades II, players can now ally with Ares by making their way to the surface and offering Nectar when they encounter him. His boons revolve around inflicting wounds and creating blades for area damage, distinctly different from the Doom mechanic of the previous game. Notably, the new Blood Drops mechanic enhances attack speed for players, allowing for strategic gameplay through collected drops. Engaging with Ares enriches the gameplay experience and offers potent enhancements during encounters.
To unlock Ares in Hades II, players must reach the surface and offer Nectar to receive a Keepsake that guarantees one of his boons.
Ares's new mechanic, Blood Drops, enhances attack speed for each drop collected during encounters, stacking strength throughout the battle.
Many of Ares's boons inflict wounds causing additional damage, synergizing well with abilities like the Apollo duo boon for broader area damage.
Ares functions differently in Hades II, with his boons creating blades on attack paths, including returning blade rifts from the original game.
