Introduction

This is my first guide and my own personal build for zhong kui and it's still in the test phase so i wanna point that out. I've tested it in conquest mostly (and got my zhong to mastery 9 already and got pretty decent results).
Pros:
High sustain
Good survival in team fights
Decent dmg in team fights
Decent counter against mage/warrior on solo
Good push
Great in team fights

Cons:
Unable to kill tanky gods
Average dmg
Skill dependant
No good escape skill (although the stun might help you enough to get away)
Might be a pain to catch gods with escapes.

Items / and some rant.

I chose this item set because i felt one defense item wasn't enough to last me in team fights.
The order : It all depends on the enemy god set up and who you'll lane against.
If u lane against magic buy magic def first, but if ur in arena/assault then buy it depending on how many phys/mag gods there are ( 3 magic then go magic def first).
Early game: Boots rank 1 and talisman(for bulwark- against mages)
chain mail ( rank 1 for mystic mail against phys gods)
1-2 life pots , 1-2 wards.
If the enemy team has 4 magic/4 phys or 5 then u can discard the opposite def item.
I also recommend HoG as active if you start on defender side ( so u can finish blue fast in case of invasion) - It might seem a waste so discard it if u think u can deal with the blue.
Other actives - weakening curse against healers / sprint / beads and whatever u feel useful.
I suggest you finish boots first and always BUY WARDS when you back( the stun can help you escape but its always better to be prepared).
Mid game u finish chronos pendant and you can harass them more and be able to do more dmg.
If they have more tanky gods , you can replace gem of isolation / soul reaver with obsidian shard (penetr). If u want to be more tanky , you can replace chronos with breastplate but if u do this i highly recommend you buy book of thoth but might be a pain to do stacks mid game.
Also , warlock's sash is a great item , so if u think u can do without the chronos pendant you could buy it as 2nd item , or as 4th (if u still have time for stacks) and if u buy it as 2nd then u can finish tank items as 3rd and 4th. It's all up to you.

Team Work

On team fights , you might wanna get most of the enemies together before you unleash your ult.
Try to get stacks before (40 protections + your tanky build is a nice touch) and this will enable be in the middle of the fight and make it out alive pretty much.
You'll need your team but you have a decent amount of dmg for 1 v 1 fights depending on which god you fight.
Remember ur not a tank , and stun is your best friend ^^/)
If u have a jungler with poor skill don't try this build on mid , because it will be a real challenge to win it.

Summary

In the end , i hope this small guide actually helped someone , if you'd like to contribute or got questions please feel free to ask.The build isn't finished, but i hope it has more pros than cons and it will actually help so go ahead and try it . Until next time , good luck and have fun.
