Introduction

Hello fellow Gods I am trying new builds with Zeus and found two that really works. Depending on the game I either get up to 45000 player damage, get A lot of kills like A lot or just deal damage and get 42 assists. I play on Xbox and my gamer tag is the same on this website. I like making builds but sometimes I make TERRA-ble builds. Any criticism is welcome and i hope this build works in your favor.

I'd say the same thing, Mastemine. Especially in Arena, but even in Joust or Clash, I'd say the ability to poke more often is extremely helpful. Just Chronos' Pendant by itself would be great CDR, and it's not like it would dig that much into your damage output.

That said, it's not like there's 0 CDR. Deso is present, and the option for Mantle is there as well. But I 100% prefer more CDR.

Is this for Arena? Regardless, I'd drop Attacker's Blessing and get Mage's Blessing instead if you weren't playing in Arena; I generally don't like blessings in Arena because of how quickly matches can go.

Attacker's is great for Arena IMO. I'd consider this one preference, if anything, and would personally suggest you let comments on dropping Attacker's go for teamfight modes.

The problem I have with AB is that it needs 100 stacks to get that pen and mage's can have Shoes of the Magi up by then.

Its just for the early pen. I used to grab mages blessing but found that grabbing attackers blessing works for how i play. Ill put what game mode this is for just so people will know.

Gulfwulf (81) | March 8, 2019 2:03am
I'd go Mage's Blessing and Shoes of the Magi instead for that extra power and early pen. You can then get Chronos' Pendant and Spear of the Magus next.
