Opinion rejoin the battle against the order of Zeus that declared no Olympian god should enter the fight. Athena stopped him, but only temporarily; when the gods were once again allowed to fight, Ares was the first to act and he went straight to attack Athena in order to avenge himself for the previous injury inflicted upon him by his sister. For his actions he was hated by the other gods and even his own parents. Why, then, does Ares parade around the battlefield as a Guardian? Taking his lore and nature into consideration a Warrior could be a much more suitable role for this blood-thirsty god. Warriors in Smite are durable and jump right into the heart of the battle, being able to sustain themselves through the fight. To turn Ares into the bloodthirsty fighter he is in mythology, I brainstormed a new kit to transform him into a physical warrior that fits the class in Smite and draws from his lore as well.
