|
 Zeus passive  Overcharge is what let's him use all his abilities. It basically places a charge on enemies you hit with your basic attacks (max 3 charges) |
|
|
|
Chain Lightning also let's him place charges on enemies. It acts like a chain and spreads charges on other enemies around the target you hit at first |
|
|
|
Aegis Assault is pretty simple. Zeus throw his shield as a ground target. You can hit the shield with basic attacks to spread charges out and deal damage. You can also hit the shield with Chain Lightning to spread the charges even more, on enemies near the shield |
|
|
|
Detonate Charge let's you detonate the charges you have on all enemies. It deals more damage, the more charges you have on an enemy. |
|
|
|
Lightning Storm is amazing. It deals insane damage in the target area and applies charges on all enemies hit. |
|
| warlock's sash | warlock's sash is a staple in almost every mage build and since zeus have no escape and is mana hungry early game, i think it was ideal to start with this item. Also the first item because you need to start on the stacks since it needs 100 stacks. | warlock's sash |
|
|
Zeus need a bit of cooldown. Shoes of Focus give him Cooldown and extra Mana. You need to be able to spam his abilities a little bit more. This will also get you to Top Player Damage almost every game. Also, you are not giving up that much extra Damage to get Cooldown |
|
|
|
Spear of the Magus is an item mainly used against Guardians and Tank. It let's you penetrate their protections and deal a bit more damage. |
|
|
|
I use Demonic Grip in this build because it gives you Attack Speed so you can applie your charges faster on enemies. I choose it over  Telkhines Ring because it has more Attack Speed and because Telkhines Ring is about Basic Attack Damage and i don't care about that. |
|
|
|
We also know that Rod of Tahuti is a staple in every mage build since it basically gives you insane extra Damage |
|
|
|
Bancroft's Talon. Since you just got a lot of power from Rod of Tahuti you might as well end of with some Lifesteal and Extra Damage (Power is at this point too MLG) |
|
|
|
I suggest Combat Blink because you don't have an escape as Zeus. Play it safe until you buy it, and only use it in emergencies since it does have a long Cooldown Time |
|
|
|
Greater Sprint. Why not? This item gives you a Movement Speed Buff for 6s. Good if you're escaping or if you're trying to get somewhere really quick |
|
|
|
Aegis Pendant allows you to be invulnerable to damage while trying to escape. If you don't have Combat Blink this Active is good. |
|
|
|
Greater Purification removes a Crowd Control Effect (CC) and makes you immune to new ones for 3s. If Zeus get pulled by  Xing Tian, Ares,  Fenrir or other gods with an annoying ult, he has no escape and will probably be rekt. |
|
|
Aegis Assault |
|
Chain Lightning |
|
Detonate Charge |
EXPLANATION
Lightning Storm remember to use all of your abilities along with it. And remember always to use Detonate Charge in the end of Lightning Storm
Zeus is actually great at Team Work. If you have an allie Xing Tian, Ares, 
Odin etc. you need to be on the lookout for their Ultimates 
Whirlwind of Rage and Steel, 
No Escape and 
Ring of Spears. They are the ones starting the teamfight and you're the one ending it with Lightning Storm(with kills that is)
Lightning Storm can also stop a teamfight or enemies making a big push
