Abilities
Spear
Ares can buy a spear for 40 Iron in the Item Shop which he can aim and throw at the target area. Upon impact, it deals 52 damage with 40% armor penetration and considerable knockback to all enemies in a 4 block radius. The explosion can damage him as well. Spears also apply the zapped effect for 5 seconds. Ares cannot have more than 10 spears in his inventory or hotbar. Spears are returned if you get the final hit on an enemy with a spear, or if he receives a free spear every 40 seconds.
