Boons from HadesBoons from Hades II

Ares's Boons tend to inflict Doom, which is similar to Dionysus's Boons granting Hangover. Their Duo Boon, Curse of Nausea, buffs Hangover without buffing Doom.

“ "Some call him 'death to men', such is his muderous intent."
"His work eternally ensures that humankind falls ever short of godhood."

"He fixates constantly upon releasing the most violent of mortal beings' impulses."
