Electro Magnetic Zeus

test

Nicely done

I ask, should Zeus go for Aghanim's scepter?

shadowmastermk47, i usually go for scepter before the refresher. the scepter increases the damage and decreases the cooldown of the ulti i think. after the soulbooster, it's a lot cheaper than the refresher (2900 compared to 5600+?) and it also increases the damage to almost the same amount (30 compared to 40). masyado rin kasi matagal cooldown nung re-arm nag refresher eh..but that's just me..hehe. the guide's ok. but i'd fiercely disgaree with getting a linken's before getting a scepter..hehe. linken wont block area-effect damage unlike what is mentioned above :( it will only block spells targeted specifically at you. and besides, you already have the refresher for increasing regen. my few cents :)

ah, ok..

hmm.. these items are good.. i think aghanims is only good for zeus if you cant think of anymore items to spend your gold with.. hehehe..

hey drew! your zeus strategy is very commendable! a novice as i am can be an instant "monsta killa" with your strategy!!!

now, can i ask for a strategy for a melee character? i find azwraith, syllabear and gondar interesting... so if you have strategies or even any inputs... pls do advise me! tnx!

--KiLL_RoCk

yeah , i agree with ninong... scepter first before refresher or linkin sphere.. :P

pwned by anti mage

that's why it's called anti-mage..duh

Thanks for the strategy on Zeus
(I use him almost all my dota matches)

natry ko ang strat para kay zeus... ang galing pala niya... ty sa mga strats...post naman kau ng strat para kay barathrum

Cool Guide I will surely play Zeus wid ur strategy and build. But i used to play wid Lina Inverse . So it will be gr8 if u gimme build and strategy [ Items , etc . ] Plz - Strategist

wow. nice strat for us noobs. keep it up.

I would Suggest this buying order

1. Build Linken Sphere
2. Aghanim's scepter
3. Refresher Orb

(Immortality)

can you buy and stock a two refresher orb and do thundergod's wrath and stay in the fountain base and use the special skill and 1st refresher and special skill and 2nd refresher and special skill.. can this be happen??

please answer my first comment as soon as possible

yes, you can have 2 refresher but using one of those will override the other.. which means, if you activate one refresher orb, the other one will also activate and both RO's are cooling down at the same time.. the 2 Refresher Orb stack is only possible in the earlier versions of DOTA (v6.12 i think)

Perfect, Good work drew!!!

ok lang naman mas maganda ring of bacillus una para may regen sa ka robe of magi....

Umm.. update!! Static field is now passive. Everytime you cast a spell, static field activates.

huwawa nice strat u got there dude...u can also use lina's items if u want.....hehehe np but its good...hehehe....

I used zues for the first time just now using this skill and item build. I got 17 kills and three deaths, the most on either team, with a few good streaks. The refresher orb was particularly helpful. I killed people at base sometimes with my double ulti by accident lol. thanks for the help!

i'll try that one

nicely done
but wat about ur movie? was it 1 on 1? cuz i think its sorta stupid to have killed razor lyk that and take lyk about 400 or 500dmg..but nywaiiz u dont look noob to me, qute the opposite lol

Hi kamikaze, yeah it was kinda crazy what I did in the video. Hehe.

@ drew

How can i add up some videos?

Your guide does not include a euls but your video does not have one. Whats the deal! :)

@Steve-O: I'll post detailed instructions in the forum.

@Khailor: Your statement kind of contradicts itself. But I took this video from one of my games just to show how to do the spell combo I'm talking about. Just because I did this strategy doesn't mean I can't use other items right?

which is better. shadow shaman or zeus if a pro use it. pls replie back

i would rather go for scepter first before getting refresher orb to boost ur thundergod's wrath to 570 damage! so ur total damage would be 1140! really really painful!

zues? aganims refresher guinsoo ok?

After tested the build, I feel like Zeus has turned into a power station°¬°¡ !!!
(probably stronger than Tenaga National O_o)

ok rin kung 3 perseverance, then soon to be refresher at linken un 2, tpos soul booster, pero kung 3 agd perse mo in the mid game tpos na agd lban ang bilis ng mana at life regen ni zeus, parang nasa well lng cast k n lng ng cast,

hey drew how can i watch your video

I used to suck in DotA. Now I've been owning my friends everytime we play *Triple Kill* lawlz. Thanks man. I know a lot of people are complaining about Wrath but then again, I guess its their fault that they keep getting hit so much.

I like Zeus, his one of my favorate too. So well done

there's a little problem in your guide. aegis spell reduction

i thing that an Aghanim's scepter whould be great for zeus too.
tespa zeus kai ta arxidia mu kouniountai!
opote ton exw antipalo mu spaei ta paparia me to kolo ulti tou ai sto diaolo

awsome strat!

Excellent strat, great job.

gay strategy

noy bad. If you get stronger ulti you may survive to the end and we hopes to win

nice strategy gt a couple of kills folloin this guide ,bt it could be btr if there is more items for def in this build cos wen i play im veri vulnerable to luna moonfang and axe

DOnt be scared to Luna Moonfang. "A Black King Bar a game, keeps the Eclipse away." rofl~

haha great question zeus vs shaman shaman will win which im veri sure of,shaman will own zeus in 1 v 1,its grabbin skill hex and the crazy serpent wards,zeus will totally get pwned cos shaman will be folloin the same guide as zeus, a blademail will be great for zeus

Hmm.. Not bad, and I'll rate it 8/10! but some fools think your strategy is inferior, drew. But really, go for the Scepter before anything else..

nice strategy, men... zeus was my debut hero in dota and wow your strategy helped me to use his poteneial even better.. but i still think i'll go for aganim's scepter first...

hehe nicely done.... without the aghanims scepter doe and guinsoo... gave you 9/10

the strat is good but the skill build... shouldnt u get arc 1st rather then the bolt? cause it cost very little amount of mana.. you spam and annoy your enemies hero.

anyways well done! its very helpfull..

o and by the way i bet that vid of u killing razor was a (easy computer) HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

yo, dun u tink dat static is important?
at least it still help in dmging...

i strongly disagree with your skill build ... the static field DO help you A LOT ... plus the arc lightning dont do much damage ... the max damage of it is just 130

i recommend you to up your skills like this : - 1. Arc Lightning
- 2. Lightning Bolt
- 3. Static Field
- 4. Lightning Bolt
- 5. Static Field
- 6. Thundergod's Wrath
- 7. Lightning Bolt
- 8. Static Field
- 9. Lightning Field *MAXED*
- 10. Static Field *MAXED*
- 11. Thundergod's Wrath
- 12. Stat
- 13. Stat
- 14. Stat
- 15. Stat
- 16. Thundergod's Wrath *MAXED*
- 17. Arc Lightning
- 18. Arc Lightning
- 19. Arc Lightning *MAXED*
- 20. Stat
- 21. Stat
- 22. Stat
- 23. Stat
- 24. Stat
- 25. Stat

sorry ... the reply was just too "MIXED UP" ... let me simplify it abit ... Arc Lightning - 1,17.18.19 Lightning Bolt - 2,4,7,9 Static Field - 3,5,8,10 Thundergod's Wrath - 6,11,16 others to stats

Nice stratagy! I generally go for aghamans right before or right after refresher through considering it helps a lto in the damage of it and giving zeus a nice damage and mana booste.

hey.
thou im still a noob, i go for scepter than refresh orb but this is still a good commendable strategy for new DS player. God bless and goodspeed.

awesome strategy dude ! i like using zeus dahil malakas sha eh but when i use him enemies quit when they hear the OWNAGE Voice or something >_> i was playing 3v3 my allies quit and it turned 1v1 enemy : queen of pain enemies ( quiters ) : pugna level 2 syllabear level 5 allies : (quiters) rhasta level 16 kardel sharpeye lvl 16 when i kill akasha i hear triple kill ! cuz i kill all three of them quiter or not >_> again nice strat so awesome i like the vid it was funny !

Man this strategi is coool !!!

starting static field when ur lvl 22 isnt a good idea if u want hero kills.. it will make ur dmg on strenght heroes very high.

u should get Aghanim's scepter. it really boosts ulti dmg and reduces cooldown

aghanim seems a must in 6.40 thanks for over all strat :D

I suggest you get guinsoo too. Coz' late game you are going to be a very easy kill to a lot of DPS heroes so you need an item for survivability if you knw what i mean. Three seconds of being a sheep for you're enemy is a lot of time for you to run away, plus the fact that it is also a must for int type heroes like Zeus.

I usually leave arc at lvl1 and use it to trigger static. Static is underrated it's really very powerful and you should get it earlier or risk becoming useless late game.

great strat, but one thing, u forgot the aghanim's scepter!

Hey I was wondering

when ur on ur own battleing a hero does arc lightening stack??????????

good guild y not buy scepter be4 refresher?

i would get aganims before refresher...

Good guide, very effective, and to the point.

no comment

man, thanks to your great strategy, i pulled off "HOLY SHIT"s left and right, and everyone thought i was a pro, man, you always learn somthin new

i dig it

first of all go for an arcane ring.. and an scepter.. go for an soul booster but not get straight to an aganims.no need for a basilus, instead get a persivirance.then make it to a refresher.

nice one...

Guide is good but it lacked early items...

nu bie. not kind a qualified guide bro

this is a poorly done strat guide. you should buy ring of health and boots to start, then a mana bottle. Then you go straigth for soul booster and sceptor. after that buy another soul booster. the more mana the better......... you should learn thunderbold, static charge, thunderbolt, static charge, then chainlighthing and ulti. after ulti learth chain to lvl4 and static to lvl 4. use ur static field to harras alot w/ the cheap mana move chain lighting.... it works really well. the worst aspect of zues is your team mates yelling at u for TK, that is all!!!

i cannot understand it may be aganims wil work

its a great item build...you could also add guinsoo for escape and the increase in mana output is also considerable....

why max out arc lighting in early game?? u should max the stat first to add more damage to the lightning bolt... you'll be a very good harasser in early game... the arc lightning (low damage)

imo i believe the aghanims is pretty good for zeus and u should test it...but in skill build imo is better lvl 1 arc lighting and lvl2 and 3 lighting bolt..take one sobi mask and make after ring of basilious..and arc lighting lvl 1 costs 45 mana..its nothing and u spammit and send ur oppoment fast in his base :)to test the fountain

VERY BAD STRATEGY. I'm amazed the admin approved this. Zeus is now of the best pwning heroes on competetive plays. Nevermind pub games, they're for noobs. The expert Zeus player will always go for a ring of basil, then a clarity and his build will be lightning bolt and stats. When an expert Zeus player reaches lvl3 and if he's facing an int or agi opponent, he then starts spamming his bolt on that hero and that expert Zeus player then get's the first kill. Total pwnage. If he faces a str hero, he then wait up to level 5 where the bolt is lvl3 and then starts spamming his bolt. Even the strongest str heros will get pwned by that. The build for Zeus is basically perse and turn it into a linken's. After that it's a matter of choice. But early game dudes, forget chain lightning. Just bolt and stats and wait for lvl3 and then spam ur bolt. Ur enemy goes home crying or is forced to get pwned. This review is a total waste of space. Very bad. No wonder we can't even have a decent place in the world championships because of stupid strategy like this and even more stupid admins who approve strats like these just coz it sounds nice.

i tryed your strat, very nice... but you should have both Ring of Health and Ring of Regeneration in the start, and buy also a chincken. but buy Aghanims Scepter before linken if your enemys doesent have alot of spells. and if you got alot of cash buy boots of travel, you can really need it because zeus is really slow.

is the item that makes it so you cast lighting without spells good for zeus??

@ dep_violator - hmmm... it' you again... Tsk,,Tsk,,Tsk....

Of course my strat is nice. It's proven on competetive plays and I know what I am saying. This guide however is pure crap. The noobs won't learn anything from this and the admin who approved this dont know shit.

What makes Zeus a total pwnage hero is he can spam a bolt of high damage for a low cost mana and he can spam them in a matter of seconds. Bolt then stats then f_ck him up when you reach level 3. If he's str f_ck him up when you reach lvl 5 and I tell you, no one, not even enchantress can beat that killing power. My items at first is to go for a ring of basil and a clarity potion. Get the idea? Then pick your poor miserable hero to spam and woila! All int and agi heroes at lvl 3 will fall to you. As for the guy who said that perse is a bit hard to build. If you're really a pro, then i advise screw the perse and just go for a void stone then eul's then mid game go for a radiance and you will pwn styg on a one on one.

As for noob. Is there anythng wrong with what I am saying? This guide is TRASH and I'm giving the reason for it. And my evidence is insurmountable.

Also the reason why we can't even qualify on world championships is because we don't have the brains to think creatively. And guides like this simply makes me sick. Zeus btw for me is a first pick on an AP alternate pick format. So do you get the idea how imba zeus is?

hold on hold on hold on, w/e dumb shit said zeus can pwn bs is saying bs. The bloodseeker is the best hero killer even more so aganinst a zeus. HAHAHAHAHAHAHaHAHAHAH zeus is good only aganst other inteli heros and sucks dick aganst a bs or a ns and a sk its no match. HAIL TO THE BLOODSEEKER!!!!!!!

Sori dude. Maybe you're one of those typical noobs. BS is only good when enemy heroes are fleeing him. He's typically useless on competetive plays and will never be used on high-stake games. If you're a pro you would know this. OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE MOT. So let's move on.

learn to read superior noob. I already stated why he can be pwned one on one by zeus. Now learn to read superior noob.

@dep_violator: Remember that people have different play styles, not everyone plays DotA competitively, and not everyone's a pro. Please show some lenience in commenting, as most guides here are not made by pros. Of course, you can make your own guide and share your experience, it seems you have a good grasp of this hero.

I play dota in LAN, I will try to make these stuffs within the game

That is why I'm already posting the obvious wrongs. Maybe I was wrong in going berserk without any sort of leniency in posting my comments. My consolation is that those who have tried it has vouched that it is indeed true. I did try to make a guide a while ago. About a non-compe hero but they didn't approve it so why should I bother to make a guide about competetive heroes? It's a waste of time when they'll just sit on it on their ass.

And why do I do this if you ask admin? The hard comments? It's because I want the noobs to learn and everyone on a general sense upgrades their game a bit. CHANGE DOESN'T COME CHEAP. And unless someone tells the average games the know-how. Then they'll just remain noobs. It's a hard fact.

are u a big looser ha drew u are a big looser i can kill ur zues to my abaddon my hero rocks and urs a looser

Super Strategy 10x:)

hey thats not me talking thats my brother okay!

nice strategy...but i would recommend an aganihm's scepter to max-out zeus' ultimate skill. i haven't tried it though but i think it would definately increase the effect of the wrath

once again dep_violator you have proved your idiot side we have different strategies and u now it. and besides y dont u make another strategy maybe this time they ' d approved ur idiotic strategy oh yeah p.s. dont be so boastful if u dont wanna get ur ass kicked by abaddon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if keegan is going to see this strategy
i wont bother saying to him that i wont accept any challenge him anymore cause i feel very sorry for him because of him getting embarrased after i defeated him

LOL, just read dep-violator's comments. I am going to guess he knows that the "admin" made this guide. I'm also gonna guess he's got a grudge to settle, and is handling it like a 10 year old. Otherwise, this guide is good, it's missing Aghanim, which I'm sure he's heard about 100 times now. Dep-violator's strat may also work, it's hard push and early-mid game. Of course, what do you do after first blood? Or, what if the enemy actually can see it coming? And what about the towers? Some major flaws there.

is zeus is long-range

para saan pa ang refresher kung mahina naman ang wrath mo?? try to use aganhims and refresher!!

Once again killjoy. You're crap build is for noobs and average gamers. Mine's for EXPERTS. If you're saying this from the point of view of a noob. Go ahead, suit yourself. I already stated one of my build for a hard lane domination, only idiots can't see that.

I "dig" the stragegy! You play the same way I do but I tend NOT to get refresher until late game. I do this because zues is completely NOT a seiger so when we seige, we are down one hero. all i really need to do is let my team seige and ill weaken the heros a bit. GREAT STRATEGY! I would recommend you make another: )

dep_violator
i'd like to try your strategy.
could you email me your detailed guide. tnx. my email add is shinichi_kudo02@yahoo.com

You should add Arcane Ring for nonstop Spellcasting,Boots of Travel for Teleportation,and Aghanims Scepter for Ownage!!!!!!!!!!!!

dep_violator
i'd like to try your strategy.
could you email me your detailed guide. tnx. my email add is shinichi_kudo02@yahoo.com

i go for lightning bolt then static field to increase lightning damage, instead of putting it last. when i have control of game, that's the time i put chain lightning for farming purposes

dep_violator
i'd like to try your strategy.
could you email me your detailed guide. tnx. my email add is shinichi_kudo02@yahoo.com

I'd rather make a guide so that everyone can learn. I already stated the basic build. Bolt+stat+systematic bolt spamming. Problem is, the admin has to first assure me they will approve of the strat.

dude, convert your sould booster to aghanims and go for ginsoo for faster mana regen.

actually,,, i had the lightning bolt and the static field at first because it really adds a lot in ur damage... I also do not use refresher orb because it takes a lot of time to buy... aghanims is way better... The new item in 6.42 and up is which needs a soul booster is really a good one to change it with...

the soul booster to bloodstone is so irritating

nothing wrong with this guide...

skill build for zeus pretty simple. static feils should be got as soon as you've maxed out ur other skills i think, then get stats. i think aghanims is pretty useful but i wonder whether bloodstone would be any good. even though i beat everyone with kills i still die alot so it might help

lightning and static must go first befor the arc.. the 180 damage of the arc lightning is useless for heroes, considering of its quick cooldown..

nice guide ...i always use arhanim>refresher>dagon..total damage=dagon>wrath>refresher>dagon>wrath=1940(not include static)..but need HUGE mana LoL...

giggle

this guy has the skills to kill enemy hero fast if you know how to use him. early, mid or late/ Always travel with partner during mid-late games since he has a good spell. Learn how to use him! parnter: travel with ally with stun or slow, you have time to kill them. Do not start by casting thunergod's wrath or it will be a waste.

LOL, Magina will pawn Zeus??
Let me tell u something...BUTCHER will own Zeus's ass!!
First (according to me) Zeus is one of the weakest heroes.I always do a repick on -ar matches.
That hero sucks big ass at 1v1 and he's only good at 5v5 as a supporting hero.
I disagree with the item build: Get a Guinsoo very early 9as soon as you can) for the Hex and damage.Then take Scepter, Arcane Ring and Refresher at the end (i saw guys using Eye of Skadi but i don't think it's very smart for Zeus).Also the Arc Lightning is VERY useful at the beginning (for getting the last kill and the loot )
Also take BoT or Dagger of Escape (i prefer BoT) coz ur an easy pray for everyone at mid and late game.
And remember, Zeus is only good at early game when everyone is at low hp (spam the Bolt as much as u can and take void stone at beginning)
Zeus sucks at late game, so i recommend camping at fountain and waiting til someone is at red hp to use the ulti

noice guide drew

10/10

Thundergod's Wrath

Level 1 – 210(335 with Aghanim's Scepter) damage
Level 2 - 335(460 with Aghanim's Scepter) damage
Level 3 – 460(570 with Aghanim's Scepter) damage

very good one
but i prefer to get 2 sobi mask initially
that gives 100% mana regen.
u can cast more spells. and kill in the initial stages wich helps to get more gold. and making the enemy weak.
in the initial stges i get a kill at lvl 4. not bad is it????? cast arc and immediately thunder bolt. sobi masks give regen. cast after some time again.
no hero dares to get close to zeus wen i play. his spells kinda become less useful in late game. but till then u hav enough gold to get buriza, sacred relic.
give normal damage+ spell damage and wrth to finish. easy kill.
i love this hero but in the new map wid the hood of defiance, this hero becomes weak........

Tsk tsk drew, Static is > than another level of arc lightling but hten again I see this guide is terrible outdated so yeah it's effective in 6.18 or something.

nice strat. i use zeus all the time, and this strategy has really helped me. thanks.

baaah....sceptre is a must for zeus...and wats with da perseverence b4 completing da sceptre go for arcane ring...dat will really help u al through out da game.. and then soul booster...after dat mystic staff to finish sceptre [afterall it increases ur ulti damage]

WEll i liked zeus so much..... But after the hood of defiance things have changed XD.

an arcane ring is not good because it won't support zeus's role to "spam." the replenish is like at increments of around (i dont know exactly) 15 seconds. between spamming your arc ligtning and your lightning storm its not gonna be enough. so regen is good for spamming. arcane ring is good for like insta combo kill. such as pudge..O_O

what other iteem can i use for zeus?

zeus should always go for aghanim's scepter frist b4 having a refresher's orb.

i had all of these by 15

@raven68
you can go for guinsoo if your team needs a disable. or maybe E.o.S.

zeus mayb one of the most powerful heroes in early game but when it comes 2 mid game whr everyone has longer health and bought heavy magic resistance, he became the best feeder in the game...can anyone come up wif a zeus combat build?zeus relied too much spell n spell resistance items render him useless

Dude, nice strat in all but umm, Zeus NEEDS aghanim' scepter the hp and mana isn't bad. plus it even makes his ult even more deadly.

I think is a good idea I don't know if u can give me some more advices
!!

ahlan wasahlan
ahlan big

Dude, Thanks. You've helped me A lot!!

what item i need to buy to equip my Zues? i know is intellegence item but what is that? new player here.

to the previous post, PLEASE READ THE GUID OMFG. drew already made the guide lok so simple, just buy those items in the order that he put in.

erm wait, sorry for double comment, what happened to the mystic staff i saw last time? no more aghanim's?

good but you do need scepter for zues...it kills then that with the refresher will own

nc guide i like it very much

how about using aghanim scepter it will make zeus become real GOD

BoT or PowerTreads are best suited for Zeus???

Very nice i just used this strat and it rox i got first blood at lvl 3 and i got a Beyond Godlike at late game nice. I had BoT, Aghanim's, Refresher and a sheep stick total pwange

Just upgrade the Soul Booster into Aghanim

cheers bud

can we add EoS?

I think Zeus just got nerfed to oblivion with the Hood of Defiance. Wrath or Bolt for that matter just don't hurt much anymore...

Exellent ! Zeus pwn all !
Very nice

Great Strategy, but i think Null Talisman is pontless to buy. It might be uselfull at the beginning but sell it ASAP

PEACE OUT /// CHUCK NORRIS

uhhhhh...yeah...

Nice Strat!

Wrath has't affect on heroes under wind-walk :(
I got a demo, can send by request.

Great strat
I
Got boots then aggy then refresher then guinsoo then HoTand linken

It was a really long game and i owned

i do agree with the skill build but i don't really agree with the item build. did he forgot aganim's scepter?

Zeus should be banned.... Jk!!! He is an awesome hero...

I find that some times when im done making soul booster, ive either got a ring of health or a void stone, so why not just create bloodstone before buying mystic staff?(pers) u can go to the circle of power and dissassemble bloodstone to make mystic staff, and then use perserverance on making refresher or linkens. some times its hard to save 2900 gold, and bloodstone is a good alternative cuz the parts are cheaper and u can just use it to turn it into 2 different items. if u ever die, and have charges, or don't have charges, you'll still lose less money on death and respawn faster.

Cheers mate

done

Very good but i should add Aghanim's Scepter... kills! And why not when you have soul booster

i like your thinking but the ulti stick is a must. w/ refresher and A-secpter you can kill half their team as soon as the cd finishes up

i think you shoul first get arcane ring then you should go for aGahanims, then after that refresher orb

hmm not a good idea to put off static till the very last. think about it... at lvl 1 static could take away an extra 30 hp from a lvl 3 hero.. u could spam arc lightning and the dmg will stack up

theres a problem with ur strat... even if zeus has more hp he's hp is still paper thin to high aspd high dmg heroes like anti-mage abbadon yunero and personnal fav...naix. how do you counter

the build should always start with arcane ring, after that then you get boots.....so that you can spam acr lightning not stop to farm and harass better.

u can also use arcane ring and vanguard so zeus will last in battle

why isnt there aghanim's ?
isnt it good?

stupid if u get soul and perserverance that makes a bloodstone

you can go to your circle of power to seperate bloodstone, as wif ring of basi.

Yeah you should really get Aghanims scepter with zeus

Soulbooster to Arg Scepter late game?

YOu know I think you overlook the the power of static field... their it said that it boost zeus' lightning attack (if in level four) by 11%. My only concern is Static feild is effective in early to mid game matches...as i've said it can boost your lightning attack and you can harass heroes more because of that advantage... i also want to give an advice...now that we have arcane ring added to our selection of items you can put this item so you will not be able to problem mana ahortage anymore. uhm... other than that..i no more problem with your build..

Actually, you have to have the 3rd skill in the early game to reveal invisible enemies dude...

and, linkin's sphere doesn't negate AoE spells... please try to edit...

It's ok guys... the guide was good until year 2006... it's fine.. i understand the situation..

woot.

I'd get basillus first for arc lightning spam early on
harass and a half

Would Desolator work for this guy??

never item in early game for zues. get 6 mana potions and a tangle.from lvl 1 to 6 keep your arc lighting at lvl 1 so you can spa mit and not use al lur mana. then when ur lvl 6 you should have engough money to get arcane ring the whole thing then start owning

nice one, useful information for newbie like me

okay... strategy...

i would rather recommend to get Aghanims scepter and refresher

OF COURSE YOU NEED AGANIMS!!!!!!!!!!
ALSO WHY DIDNT I SEE AGANIMS!!!!!!

is zeus better than razor? please reply thanks

zeus should go for Aghanim's scepter cause it will increase the damage of its ulti.

Great strategy it has lots of details.

How about Aghanim's scepter and 2 refresher orbs then zues can finish off heroes escaping from team mates. I dont think many heroes can survive three ultis from zues in a kind of rapid fire mode. although zues would need alot of mana. Heres a thought he could be standing near the fountain and fire off ultis when his team need it.

To Warlock.
I think Yes Zeus can bt razor cos of his lvl 6. But it really depends on the skill of the Player and the items. But i wouldn't say better.

@Zed

2 Refreshers?
Wanna think about that again?

Great stategy dude

What happened to Aghanim's Scepter?! No hero who can take advantage of it should be without it! And I'd put Mjollnir in there somewhere...

Worst strat i ever seen for zeus. wow this guy should be very newb

@MightyJoEs
well don't you just suck

@rooftrellen
correct me if i am wrong drew but this build focuses on survival the potential to get a scepter is there but refresher does more damage then an extra level of wrath.
Mjollnir is a waste of money due to your horrible attack speed
it costs more than 6000? (3400+450+1610+1300) yes i rest my case you can get a scepter instead

i like ur build but i do not recommend ds in solo or 2 on 1 battle

this hero with the refresher orb is extremely powerful, he can get over 2k damage if you particular combo with the orb.

i hate this hero because he only dominates at early game.

so u know i was just playing zeus a while ago and i was hitting godlike streeks easy and i gotta say theres alot of things in this guide that i cant believe...static field is amazing for taking out tanks cuz arc lightning is 2 sec cooldown so u do damage and take out 11% of their health so dont get it last 4 levels. seeing this makes me seriously change my mind on DS's guides 2/10 cuz u knew to get refresher

i suggest arcaine with zues..lightning bolt everyday..

Zeus is painful,a pro hero can resist him, black king bar..Better buy blink f u counter pro player,gagagaga

must get agha, and static field before stats!

You Left out Aghanim's Scepter !! One of the most liable item that Zues would use .. and i would rather get Guinsoo than Refresher !!

im sorry to say, but this is not the right item build for zeus. WHERE IS THE INTELLIGENCE? u basically did not choose any items for boosting up zeus's intelligence. u shouldve chosen a guinsoo's scythe, aghanim's scepter, maybe a dagon, mayeb a ring of basilius, a mjolnir or a maelstrom, maybe power treads or boots of travel, maybe a vanguard, and more but i cannot list more because i cant list anymore. i hope u read this because i honestly think a lot of your items are unneeded.

Zeus is a cheater.

Hey dep_violator, when you stated stat, does it means "Static Charge" or the other one? Tks.

Just try making the chainlightning only level 1 then max out static field first.. mga around level 17 na ulit kayo mglagay ng chainlightning mas maganda promise... pati d nyo po magagawa yang ganyan pag pustahan or tournament na.. Best build prin for me is dagger,arcane ring, boots, obs obs obs!!!!

watta big lol... zues is only strong in mid game...

Static field keeps Zeus strong in mid & late games.
As you cast Arc lightning and Lightning bolt one after another, the enemy heroe[s] became shocked % of their Hp.

i prefer to start off each game with an Arcane ring... devotion aura and more mana is very helpful.. more time to spam spells and harrass =]

otherwise its all good

Also id like to add that you buy perserverance and then soul booster = Bloodstone which gives some quite handy hp and mp. only then i make my way to agh scepter by dissembling the bloodstone and creating the scepter... then i get another soul to get the bloodstone back

You must be realy dumb >_< ... No Aghanims with Refresher? lol.
And umm.. GETTING STATIC FIELD FOR THE LAST SKILL IS JUST NOOB... You need atleast 1 level of it omfg.. If we go Zeus V Zeus... I would win, cuz static field would just eat your hp faster.. Cmon.. L2P!

well, onli refresher and linken? other is wat example Aghanims,BoT,mekasm and put assault cuirass can or not?

nice gem

Arcane Ring and Zues = teh win!

i dig this strat

lolz... cb guide.. lan ... wkakakaka

stupid la this build..idiotic ass

really like the double cst of wrath

this is very cool i just tested it a while ago and it worked but i added an extra item it is the aghanims. and i also won which is great tnx for the strategie.

wow nice build! hirs my complete build to zeus just an additional info if u want :) :
1. boots of travel
2. Refresher
3. curiass
4.aghanims (why just soul booster? go fo the aghanims! :P
5. guinsoo
6shiva's guard? the new item in the 6.49 game hehe!

weee... no support here! i kill alon haha! just need backup! lol

the strategy is very good and i have to say spamming ur lightning bolt on razor was good but i have to say something about ur skill build please plus just one Static field (when ur fighting invi=invisible heroes only lah) cuz when u fight invi heroes and when they are close to there creeps u arc lightning or lightning bolt on the enemies creeps u can see anything that is invi such as riki or techies alti


soo please up this skill just once it will help u fight invi heroes

poor zEus... you make him useLess...
