Quick Guide - Steps for Arena

1.
Start with Purification Stone, then Reinforced Shoes combined with both chalices to spend all of the starting gold in Arena.

2.
Go grab mana camp - kill both mana and damage camp with your team, then let your team take the Attack Speed buff, while you head immediately to the middle to kill Ads before the other team gets there.

3.
Stay in for a minute or two more if possible then head back and start the Mid-Game build when the mana buff has expired. That is, if you haven't died yet :)

3A.
(This is a good time to go back and purchase sands of time starter -> Warlock's Sash -> Magic Shoes )


**Keep an eye out for Mana camp, as people tend to forget about it after killing it once. Mana camp is by far the most important buff for early game Zeus.

Have Fun!

Note* If you are playing against Odin make sure to make your second Relic (Level 12) Phantom Veil, this will allow you and anyone near you to escape his Ultimate. Just a tip.
