Weaknesses

Because of his arrogant and brutal nature, Ares can be extremely reckless, overconfident, narcissistic and foolhardy, leading to him making crucial mistakes in a confrontation. He is supremely confident in his abilities, to the point of believing that he is invincible, Has a severe fear of jars due to being trapped in one for years, He is more easily harmed by weapons explicitly designed to attack supernatural essence (such as weapons made of Celestial Bronze), Should he and the concept forming the basis of his existence (war) somehow fade into obscurity, he will slowly cease to exist. If his throne, or other sources of power, are destroyed, he will also fade along with it, or become so weakened that he can no longer take a physical form, as stated in The Last Olympian by Prometheus. But the only way to permanently defeat a god is to scatter their essence.

Ranked tied for #10 of 99 in Percy Jackson by strength.
