Zeus - Lord of Olympia

Once a deity of unfathomable might, Zeus reluctantly sacrificed his much relished immortality in exchange for the chance to crush the sinister armies of the unholy undead. As his soul crossed into the mortal plane, his omnipotent powers withered greatly, yet not nearly enough to quell this destructive Thunder God's resolve for justice. With sheer precision, he cleanses through the enemy ranks with an impressive mastery of electrical discharge, smiting the fool hardy with formidable bolts of lightning from the heavens above. Ever vigilant in his relentless assault, the Scourge cowers in fear of incurring the fearsome wrath of the Lord of Olympia.

*great when spammed with bottle and static

1st item, get Bottle and arc, lv2 get static, then max lightning bolt and static from there.

Arc first because:
LOW mana cost
OK damage for lv1 spell
Bounces
GREAT early when spammed with arc lightning and static.
1 charge of bottle gives a whole charge of the spell.
GREAT solo or 2v1 harass tool (assuming ur on the side with 2) because if the solo hero is too far back, target a creep near him that in your range and your guaranteed to hit him.

Then rush Aghs and w/e u like.

Static field does damage first.

Ok I tested something with Zeus: when Zeus casts a spell, does static field damage first or the arc lightning and lightning bolt? Yes I played with AIs, I typed in the cheat 'whosyourdaddy' and I casted Lightning bolt, they died with the static field animation on top of them before the target got damaged by bolt. Conclusion: It does not matter if you cast arc or bolt first, the field damage is dealt first.

O.K. Nevermind, it's back. Have a look at "Zeus - quale's Striking Tempest" it's really good.

513 By Max_LKC 2009-12-18

wrath reveals invi heroes but dun damaged them so get dust wards or gem or juz lightning bolt on a target n if u're lucky invi heroes near the lightning bolt target will be revealed then cast ur ulti immediately

I agree with KrayZspYne here. You're probabily using Zeus wrong. There was a really good strategy here showing a good way to use Zeus. Anybody know what happened to it?

@507 By dagon1128 2009-12-08
um really...?
Zues doesn't need to up chain lightning more than one time early, and you shouldn't try to get a kill with just arc lightning anyways. Wait till bolt is at least lvl 2 which means you need to be lvl 3. not only that. Not saying this out of offense but Zues is a godlike hero, You just must not know how to use him very well. get mana regen items early, you shouldn't be attacking in general. If they harass you, harass back. easy as hell to use Zues... next

I am not completely sure. I was playing riki once and it did hit me a but i think the invisi was still on cd because there were times in which i didn't get hit.

509 By 7Heaven 2009-12-10

Wrath damages invis. fleeing heroes (pesky Gondar escaping with WW) or not?

@dagon11

You shouldn't spam arc for farming unless you got bloodstone/guinsoo. Manage your mana.

507 By dagon1128 2009-12-08

this is a shitty hero..hard to farm, unless u level up chain lightning, which means u cant level up lightning bolt for early kills..and he cant spam chain lightning to farm anyways coz of his shitty mana regen. to be effective, he needs extreme mana regen items like orchid, guinsoo, refresher, but then, he cant farm these items becoz of his techies-like damage and getting last hits is suicidal because his range is practically melee..his ulti only hurts early and you need competent teammates
