Items

Before you click away because of my items let me explain. For my pure damage, I have found in Joust that is; your abilities will be doing so much damage early that you don't need Pen during that phase. Bancrofts isn't a commonly seen item, but Zeus's Ult benefits alot off of it(Loki beware because dropping a ult on yourself to kill a Loki isn't a bad call or any assassin). Gem of Iso is also a niche pick because of the strange non-chase that Zeus gives. Spamming your charges will constantly slow your enemies and your Ult then becomes a Thunder Dance.

TL:DR for Items

Bancroft


> Ult gives alot of Hp also Ult helps against Loki if you put it on yourself against Assassins

Gem of Iso
> Ult turns into Thunder Dance

Skills

Basically with this build you charges are your best friend. Hitting 3 against a max charge enemy can hit for 700 damage alone. Every time you see an enemy them a few times and press a button to kill.

A way to extend your range almost is if there a hiding in their tower, throw your shield then proceed to Chain Lightning the lighting will bounce of them and the shield hitting them with every single arc and allowing an explosion of charges to kill.

Don't be afraid to ult, using it to kill a person when your not sure if they're going to gank is fine. Another way is if your teammate is running through the jungle proceed to ult them and if the enemy team chases you can pick off most of them.

Pros / Cons

Pros

Gank Spanks like a King
Has an amazing beard
Wave clear is strong
Poking from a range is extremely strong


Cons

No Escape
Without Ult hard to land charges
Slow
Really Slow
Extremely Slow

Chapter Title

English is my second language so there are going to be grammar mistakes
