Nice guide. Short and sweet. Would recommend putting in blink dagger though. It's a great item that massively helps you position yourself in teamfights, chase heroes down and get yourself out of trouble. I personally prefer it over Force Staff even though the Staff's stats are nice to have.

I would almost consider putting Force Staff in with the Core items; i find myself building it almost every game once i've got Mana Boots and Bottle. The extra mobility it provides is just fantastic for Zeus who has otherwise quite slow movement speed. Lets you get back in range for your final Lightning Bolt to then finish off, or is a good escape mechanism too.

Next, i would build Veil of Discord on Zeus any time your team has another high magic damage hero. Zeus is still a semi-support, really, because he isn't very item dependent and can get plenty of gold from ganks. I tend to get Veil to help our team's magic damage along, plus do most of the mid-game warding since i'm roaming anyway.

Lastly also would just start with 3x Ironwood Branch and maybe Tangos, that lets you get bottle at about 1:30 into the game. In a pub match you might need to buy the wards yourself, which makes it more important to skip the Salve and just save the money for Bottle.

Otherwise, A+++ very good guide. Zeus is easily one of my favorite heroes.

Quoted:

worked for me but i didnt use bottle, stats at end 18/2/5


Whatever works for you, I just play this because it suits my playstyle- there is no 'correct' build- only ones you can play well & ones you can't

You should get Static Field at level 2 and max the Lightning Bolt at level 3 4 and 5.Provides more harassing by using the Arc Lightning and procing Static Field.


Yeah, that's what most people do, but it's only like 30 secs difference between those two levels & I made this guide to show how I play - not others.

Thank you, it's my first guide & I've only played like 9 games of Zeus.
