Zues Guide by hahshdhfhg123 6.71b

A shocking bastard LITTERALLY!

Hero introduction: Zeus has one role: offensive spellcaster. His spell damage output is probably the highest of any hero in the game, due to the great damage and low cooldown periods of his spells. Arc Lightning strikes a large number of enemies with a relatively low damage chain lightning, but due to its low cost and cooldown it can be cast a large number of times during a battle. Lightning Bolt is easy to understand: lots of damage! Compared to a lot of other offensive spells, Lightning Bolt's damage, cooldown, and mana cost are very good, and it is Zeus' primary means for dealing with enemy heroes. Although Zeus has a passive skill, it is in fact another way to blast his enemies with even more spell damage. Every time Zeus casts a spell, Static Field shocks nearby enemy heroes for a small percentage of their life. This means Zeus will continue to deal good damage throughout the game as enemy heroes get higher and higher life. Perhaps Zeus' most feared ability is Thundergod's Wrath. When cast, this spell causes a bolt of lightning to strike all enemy heroes on the battlefield. This spell is especially useful for finishing off nearly dead heroes who are fleeing from battle, but it is also useful to give Zeus and his allies an edge in team fights.

Background story: Once a deity of unfathomable might, Zeus reluctantly sacrificed his much relished immortality in exchange for the chance to crush the sinister armies of the unholy undead. As his soul crossed into the mortal plane, his omnipotent powers withered greatly, yet not nearly enough to quell this destructive Thunder God's resolve for justice. With sheer precision, he cleanses through the enemy ranks with an impressive mastery of electrical discharge, smiting the fool hardy with formidable bolts of lightning from the heavens above. Ever vigilant in his relentless assault, the Scourge cowers in fear of incurring the fearsome wrath of the Lord of Olympia.

Hello this guide is for that fat, little, midget called Zeus, he is a scary early to midgame character that can almost insta kill a hero in just a few seconds. This guide will be composed of pros and cons; skill build; item builds; best allies and worst enemies; and finally the last words of the author and that is me :D

Pros:

*can instantly kill a fragile hero in just a few seconds

*can kill globally even if your a million miles from your enemy

*Has High burst damage skills that doesn't lose power at late game

*a great early to midgame killing machine with the right teamates (even without them you still kick ass :D )

*his two primary skills have a range of 700 meaning he is mostly safe from harrassments

*lightning bolt gives true sight and also his thundergod's wrath

Cons:

*fragile/low hp and hp problems

*has mana problems early game

*needs some items to unleash his full potential

*bad attack animation

*below average movespeed

*very short attack range meaning he is more suspectable to be harassed if he has nothing to harass back :(

Explanation: we take chain lightning level 1 because its much more better than taking lightning bolt, chain lightning at level 1 has a 2.25 seconds cooldown with 65 damage its far more better than a 6.5 seconds cooldown lightning bolt that does only 100 damage. We take bolt at levels 3,4,5 because that is where we are more ganking heroes. Later on in the game we either pick stats or chain lightning either way its depends on the situation in the game. The advantage of taking stats is having a higher hp, mana pool and some agility. And if you choose chain your more on creepwave destroyer or a pusher if you have enough mana to support your chain lightnings.

Core items: bottle crow

Full items: personal

Luxury items

Optional items

First of all you have no escape mechanism you can either buy dagger or forcestaff but it depends on you what to buy from the two.

Ghost scepter is used for those annoying physical attackers like void or troll but it may backfire if there is a burst damage hero on the opposing team because it AMPLIFIES magical damage.

Pipe can be bought if there is no other support hero that can buy it. Meka is the same with pipe's explanation.

Soul ring maybe fast and convenient to buy but if you don't have any hp items like bottle crow technique your probably better off buying arcane boots.

Finally Dagon is bought if you want to feel like lion and lina with the insta kill power.

Items not to get EVER!

I don't have to list every item in the game but you get the picture. Firstly DON'T BUY ORBS they are just a waste of money.

Don't buy DPS items or physical attack items because you are a caster not a hitter.

Skadi is just overkill on your wallet.

And don't buy Vladmir's Offering firstly your more like a guy who destroys everything, you don't have the time or money to buy this peace of crap besides you don't benefit from the lifesteal, let the other support hero buy this instead.

Best allies

Disbalers

Stunners

Slowers

Initiators

Special mention:

One of your best friends is

he just uses decrepify and they both unleash hell on the opponent because pugna amplifies MAGICAL DAMAGE

Worst enemies

Disablers

Silencers

Mana burners

Built in or bought that makes you magic immune

Special mention:

First of all Pugna maybe your best friend but he can also be your worst enemy because of his netherward zapping you everytime you cast a spell so destroy the ward or you get destroyed.

Doom is just a FAG, when he uses doom on you, your just a strong creep that can do nothing but die in the end. The thing to do is gank him if you know he has Doom on cooldown with an ally.

Silencer deserves a special mention, his last word is annoying because after you casted a spell you have to wait 3 seconds just to cast another one. He just disrupts your combo and he has a global skill too and its called Global Silence thats a tad ironic.

Last word

This guide only teaches you what to expect on Zeus and also a backbone. So don't follow this guide word by word. Builds are just like water they are fluid meaning it depends on the situation on whether to pick or buy a skill or item. If you want to be become more stronger go practice and be better than you were before. What are you doing? get up and play so you can be what you want instead sitting there, My name in Garena is hahshdhfhg123 see you there :D .
