Zeus is a very powerful Mage. He has 4 abilities and a passive. Zeus is from the Greek Pantheon. Difficulty is average, with high area damage.
Zeus is a slow god relying on items to build power to out damage the other gods quicker. Zeus has no speed increasing abilities so it is very beneficial to look at the sprint relic. If you are playing Solo Sprint will help you individually the most. If you are playing as a team Meditation is more beneficial to you as a team. With Meditation it allows you to stay in the lane longer ideally leveling up quicker to get an early lead on your opponents.
Elixir of Power when you are running out of things to buy it a natural choice to help dump gold. It will increase your power by 25%. Elixir of defense will increase your defense ability by 50 to help survivability.
Zeus has one passive and 4 active abilities. Starting with his passive Overcharge
Overcharge -
This is a debuff Zeus puts on the enemy players and minions. Every time Zeus hits with an ability it will cause 1 stack of debuff up to 3. Once at three Zeus has another ability to cause damage to all the players and minions with this debuff. This debuff increases 30% per charge on the enemy.
Chain Lightning -
This is the first ability Zeus learns in this guide. This ability Zeus shoots a powerful lighting bolt that will jump 4 times between enemy minions and players. Anyone or minion hit by the Chain Lightning in addition to the damage will also be slowed for 2 seconds. This Chain Lightning will also apply the Overcharge onto anyone it hits.
Aegis Assault -
This is the second ability Zeus learns. This ability Zeus throws forward his shield to cause damage to the area. When Zeus targets this shield with either Chain Lightning or a basic attack it will emit a wave that will apply a charge of debuff to everyone in a 20 unit radius. If Zeus hits this with his Chain Lightning it will allow Zeus to reach even further on his chains.
Detonate Charge -
This is the third ability Zeus learns. This ability Zeus will activate all the charges on any enemy player or minion. While you are playing Zeus you will see an orb on whoever has the debuff that will tell you how many charges are on the enemy. Once activated it's power is increased 30% per orb.
Lighting Storm -
This is Zeus fourth ability. It is his most powerful. With this Zeus puts down a lightning storm with a radius of 30. Every second an enemy is in the storm will apply 1 stack of Overcharge. Lightning storm also increases damage 50% of magic power.
Zeus can clear minions very well. To initiate fights it is best to get the Aegis Assault out early and target it with the Chain Lightning. This will emit one shock of the Aegis as well as 4 jumping bolts of Overcharge. By this time most minions have 2 or more stacks of Overcharge. Releasing your detonate will clear this wave.
When Zeus runs up against other gods, I have found it best to use Lightning Storm behind them so the enemy gods have to run through the lightning storm or towards you. If they come towards you, use your Aegis Assault paired with chain lightning to start those early stacks hit them with a detonate early so the cooldown can begin and will be able to hit them with detonate again if it is needed.
This build damage output is fairly low at the beginning, but quickly ramps up towards the end.
