Ares and Acala, while SSRs, both suffer from the same problem - you generally don't fit them into a team before they're Awakened, since strong SRs are simply better.

Awakened Ares gains the very impressive self-Elem+ 50%, which is basically her own personal Belial. Combined with her higher rate of Combo due to being on fire, once Awakened she does deal quite nice damage. Even then... honestly? Awakened Ares doesn't impress me much. I'd drop Yamaraja before Ares, but only because I have Amaterasu's Blind to somewhat cover up for the loss of combo-. But if I had any two of Mars/Svarog/Raguel, I'd drop Ares (currently running Ares, Yamaraja, Amaterasu, Heph).

You can make the argument that if a Fire team would be exclusively for Ult Wind Disaster, then putting in Agni and Ares would be a good idea. That's true. A rather specific case, but considering how you need to those Regalia, a very valid one.


Oh, and as a sidenote:

Please remember that BP is absolutely vital for newer players. Skipping BP and using Joan can be sufficient once you start to get strong, and skipping even Joan starts being a thing once you get really strong. But for a player who asks for help with team-comps, it's quite unlikely that they've reached either stage.

No. I'm not sure about extremely low level grids, but I very much doubt that bringing an off-element Hime would be an improvement even there.

In general, if you bring an off-element Hime it'll be for heals (like Sol) or multiple high-value debuffs (like Ryu-Oh for double A debuffs and BP). Even then - that doesn't really happen in perfectly optimal teams.
EDIT: Or what Delete pointed out, extremely good defensive Hime like Gaia, who can entirely nullify Overdrives for you.
