Ares, god of war. Wow, this click
must be powerful to live up to those lofty
ambitions. lets take a look...
Cost~
275 points, 10 clicks of
life, 8 range / 1 target, Mystics team ability
Movement~
Ares starts out with a
12 move with phase/teleport on the first click,
drops to 10 with charge for the next 2 clicks, 9
with flurry of blows for the 2 after that, no
pwers for the next 2 clicks, but picks up
running shot for the last 3. Thats a bit of
attacking versatility there...Not to mention
he's a flyer.
Attack~
starts out at a nasty 14
with 3 clicks of super-strength, then 3 clicks
of blades/claws/fangs. Even on his last click he
still has a 9 attack! That's some staying power.
Defense~
The common theme with
the Legacy set is high defense, and Ares is
among those numbers. A 19 defense to start,
coupled with impervious for the first 2
clicks.It drops off to invulnerable for the next
4 clicks, followed by toughness for the final
four. His defense never drops below 14
Damage~
starts out at 5 with a
couple clicks of outwit, followed by 5 clicks of
close combat expert, ending out with 3 clicks of
outwit. His damage only drops to 2 for the final
click of life.
Sculpt~
Wow! I was fortunate to
pull one of these bad boys in a booster, and the
sculpt is amazing. THe simple paint job just
makes Ares look wicked as can be, and it's
definitely a stand-out piece among any of the
clix.
Final Thoughts~
Ares is a truly
wicked powerhouse. Expensive sure, but worth it
if you're playing with enough points. With the
Mystic ability, your opponent will be damaging
themselves trying to wipe him out, and with his
defensive ability, that task is going to take a
while. Couple him with the card that ignores
your opponents outwit or perplex, and he's just
a monster!
