Ares chain

[SD97]

What abilities can cancel Ares' chains? I have tried ganesh silence ,xing tian knockup, geb shield. Nothing seems to work against that chain except for walking away. Can it at all be cancelled?

Running away

Ok

Once it hits, only range or time will get rid of them. Silences, stuns knockups etc will stop him from throwing more chains.

Just slow or root Ares. So he can't burn you on top of chain damage. Avoid 3 chains.

As said above, just get distance. That is the only way to remove his first abilities chains.
Slow him down, speed yourself up, or CC him.

btw I'm curious about Janus and Ne Zah, Kumbhakarna too - banish style abilities.
I do love Janus vs. Cabrakan for the same reason - tremors turned into banish and the rest on top.

Janus doesn't, but I'm not sure about Khumba and Ne Zha who have much taller/higher banishes.

The chain actually acts as a debuff that continually applies itself. If you are cleansed you can use movement abilities for the duration of the cleanse, but since it continually applies itself, you'll only have a small window of time to use them. Other than that, just get some distance or have someone peel the ares off of you.

Weirdly enough, the chain's range isn't affected by verical distance, so banishes like khumba ult, rama ult, and the like will still have them take the chain's damage while in the air.

I think someone said that there is not verticality in smite

Honestly though if it acts as a continuous debuff then it explains the geb shield part. But then it should be logically a channelled ability which should be cancelled out by a silence but eh i guess I will have to play with it.
Also why is Ares a support? What he does best is just run at the ADC and kill him. He should be a solo laner IMO.

He has no clear, so if he were to solo you would need a very coordinated team and a jungler who pretty much camps solo early. Or be Deathwalker, our lord and savior.

I think Aphro's 1 is affected by those though. A few times before I've seen the link blinking when someone gets hit by Ne Zha or Kumbha ults. Or when they use Ults like Thor or Nu Wa.
