Ares Wizard used to be a popular Kodi repository loved by many. Unfortunately, it was shut down because it was under severe copyright violations. But it’s back now with a new repository link and we’ll help you to get it on Kodi 17.6 Krypton build.
Note: Using Kodi to stream copyrighted content is illegal. Always ensure that you’re running VPN on your connection to avoid getting a notice from the DMCA.
Before we begin, keep in mind that this Ares Wizard does not, and I repeat, does not feature capability for movies and TV shows. It does, however, feature the tools for maintenance and optimization. So keep in mind that you won’t be getting any video, music, game addons. But it’s still a great addition to keep Kodi in the best state.
The Ares Project used to be very popular Kodi addons. It featured the ability to stream video, music, or even play games. But it was shut-down over legal issues. But Ares Wizard emerged with a new repository link but few things have changed.

Here are some of the features of Ares Wizard still usable:
Performance optimization
