Right now my main in smite 2 is Anhur. His kit feels so smooth in comparison to Smite 1. Furthermore, I like the new achievement system that they added that keeps track of the pillar stuns. It leads me to try and do the cool stuff that I'm not too confident with. Like jumping in and throwing up the pillar to get a stun in the middle of the lane.

Alright, Ares is one of the more aggressive guardians in smite 2. You want to be up in their face and doing damage. His passive allows for you to get a bunch of damage while only building defensive items that have aura so take advantage of that. You should aim to hit a chain then string an auto attack between throwing out the next chain. Once your out of chains you should start spitting those flames and body blocking your enemy from getting to where they want to go. The chains should slow them enough so you basically have free reign over their movement. In order to get active with Ares I recommend getting the blink rune and using the ult in condensed team fights to either burn the other teams beads or to get them lined up for the ults on your team. Kuku and anhur work really well with Ares since they should be stunned and the ults should never miss.
