Zeus have very good and strong abilities and they are great for kill stealing. So almost everyone who plays Zeus first upgrade every ability once than upgrades Detonate charge to level 5 than Chain Lightning while uprgading ultimate when possible and then Aegis shield. I suggest to upgrade Detonate Charge and Chain Lightning at same time because those are both great and very powerful attacks. Offcourse uprgading ultimate when possible.
DescriptionDescriptionDescriptionDescriptionDescriptionWith Zeus you can use lot of strategies. For example, first use your Chain Lightning and then Detonate Charge and you can finish him off with basic attacks or you use basic attack and repat this strategy after cooldown. Good thing about Zeus is that he is very hard to run from. If you put your charge before enemy flee, then he tryes to run and you use Detonate Charge, he will most likely die. When enemy attacks you, it's good thing to use Aegis shield so you reflect every his basic attack, then use your Chain Lightning or if he has low health just finish him off with Detonate Charge. Great thing about your ultimate is it put charges. So if 2 enemies attack you, especially if they are melee, good strategy is to use first your Aegis shield, so they get damage with their every hit, then use your ultimate Lightning Storm, after that use Chain Lightning, so while Chain Lightning hits everyone of them, Lightning Storm probably sticked at least 2 charges on them, and then just use Detonate Charge. You will probably die, but your ultimate will finish them after that and you will get double kill.
Zeus is very strong god but with low defenses, so it is best to play in team with tank/guardian. In arena that doesn't matter too much because you can easily run from enemies.
DescriptionDescriptionDescriptionSo Zeus is good combined with lot of gods but i'll just mention few of them. I won't talk about gods he is bad agains. About that i will just say this. Don't let melee gods come near because you'r sqishy and don't enter combat with assasins or gods with good attack speed.
DescriptionDescriptionDescriptionWell i really hope you like my first guide. If you think i should change/add/remove something post it in the comment! Please tell me what do you think in comment!

There are some gramTical errors to say the least, the guide isn't bad but your build lacks any penetration! Penetration is one of the most overlooked stat by newcomers and some veterans alike. With base protections alone you will lose near 25% of your base damage because of this. However a tank that has 150 or more magical protections is going to take like 60% less damage from all your attacks! If you through in a spear of the Magus or a demonic grip and you use the pen on those items effectively you will hit for more damage against most targets even while you may have less power. Most of the time when I play Zeus I will build the Spear of the Magus early and if they build tanky I will build the demonic grip later. Just a thought as I read a lot of guides with no penetration.
Well thank you so much, never thought about that but i tried it out now and i like it. Replaced with Polynomicon. :)
