Introduction

I Use This Zeus Build In Many Different Games - It Requires High Mana And HP - To Make The Damage Worth It, But This Is Were Hide Of The Urchin Comes Into To Grant The Extra Mana + Hp

Items

Is a really nice buy for zeus as he does require alot of mana to do his skills - aka Lightning Storm (ult) with detonate can soon make him go out of mana to do much else.
Is here for the extra mana + hp and the protections help well against gankers and other assassins.
The standard boots for zeus more dmg more mana and even +10 penetration.
Helps with the extra penetration against heavily built gods that are going full tank / magic proc 33% extra is a yes please in most situations.
Extra 75 magic dmg and 25% extra CDR can help zeus get more ults and detonates off faster
People may question this build but i like it due to the fact i can get over 3k mana and approx 2.8k hp as a mage which is insane at level 20 - able to take hits and deal huge amount of damage.

Skills

Main thing zeus relies on is detonates its the first primary skill you will max rank it will produce the most damage and at 4 stacks of zeus passive on a detonate you can get a 25% slow for 2secs, helps the gankers with you.

Pros / Cons

PROS:

High Damage
25% CDR
Quite High Damage Mitigation
High HP + Mana

CONS:

No Escapes
Can Be Killed Easily At Low Levels
Can Be CC Chained

Summary

You ALL may think this is a bad guide or setup but try it you just never know what may happen i tried it myself and ive ended up playing it 90% of the games ive done as zeus and hes now diamond :D

don't build defence on zeus, just go full damage and also on every mage you need rod of tahuiti if youre mid or solo.
