Ares Special Skill.

        Hi!
        I would like to again suggest making Ares SS work properly, as it is supposed to work...

        Explanation of the problem.. here is Ares SS description..
       

        And here is how it actually works...
       

        I already posted this before. Some people explained that it actually targets enemy with lowest % of HP... That would also be OK, but here I took a screenshot of beginning of fight, when all opponents have full HP, so at least now Ares SS should target the enemy with the lowest HP. Instead he goes for the enemy with the highest HP.
       


        Why it bothers me? Because Ares special skill is originally supposed to (I believe so) neutralize opponents powerful but lower HP damage dealers. If that skill would really work like that, then Ares would really be a real Michael tier hero.;
        His skill is no AoE (unlike all other Michael heroes) which is fine, I suppose matk heroes in general are similar to magi (strong AoE + special effect), but Ares then should be similar to fighter - very effective against single target.

        Before I actually got him I even wanted this hero more than Apollo. Until I discovered that his SS is not working correctly.
        I really have lost many battles only because of Ares skill bad timing when his SS makes my whole party target opponent\'s strongest tank (especially bad for fighter I can say) while opponent\'s dps kill off my party unharmed. Same with expedition, if Ares uses SS on 1st turn making my party target opponent\'s tank, I can not watch the battle further, 80% that I will lose against equal opponent..
       

       

        I know that there isn\'t a very high chance that you will make his skill work properly now when it has been flawed from the beginning and not many players have complained, but I kindly ask you - please consider this, I\'m sure it wouldn\'t take you too much time to change it\'s targeting parameters to the right ones.

Also can say that the current targeting mechanics of Ares SS has forced me to use him only as alt hero even when I had Ares and Gus as dps and Hermes as tank. Because as mentioned before, Ares firing his SS at opponent\'s strongest tank on 1st turn most of the time means lost match for me if fighting equal or even a bit weaker opponent.

        Yea.. has been like this for very long time and still isn\'t fixed...
       

        About targeting tank - especially bad in expedition if opponent has a dps with AoE... while all your team is hitting that 1 tank, opponent\'s dps usually kills your dps and after that its 2 (of your team) vs 3 (opponents) already.. :/

dont think they will do something for him,
Ares is a Hero that you can easily get without golding just keep 3 mono badges.
Means he is not a GOLD Hero to get.
Maybe if that is Apollo, Zophiel, Gabriel, in just a blink of an EYE, it will be fixed.

        The fact that we can get him for mono badges doesn\'t change that his skill isn\'t working as it is supposed to... But of course I agree that the chances of anyone suddenly fixing him after he has been broken for so long time are quite low.
       

        Since they rather put him in monopoly for badges (probably cuz no1 wanted to buy him) rather than fixing him and making him worth to spend money for...

You can read more about Ares\' SS in this thread:

http://community.gtarcade.com/post/index/id/50123/

To sum up the topic inside that thread:

Ares\' SS will always target the one with the lowest PERCENTAGE HP among the enemy\'s party members. I highlighted the percentage word coz\' that\'s the hint. Ares only sees the HP of each opponent by % and not by the actual amount of HP. So basically, if all opponents have full (100%) HP, he will RANDOMLY choose a target regardless of the actual amount of HP.

So yes, that\'s actually a slight flaw on his SS but it still within the description. I hope this explanation served well.

        That is why I first made this post in suggestions thread...should finally make Ares SS work as intended/be a decent skill... As of now he totally screws up all my battles with equal BR teams in Expedition since there are so many heroes with healing abilities now...and it doesn\'t even seem random, if not 100% then 90% cases Ares SS will target the highest HP opponent if all have full HP..
       

        I read the thread, no real info there, just people accepting and trying to explain why that skill is so useless right now... doesn\'t make it right tho since there was no official response about Ares SS anyway.
