Zeus

Zeus is a formidable and dangerous Intelligence Hero. Based on the God of Lightning and Thunder of Greek Mythology of the same name, Zeus uses the power of electricity to overwhelm his enemies, electrocuting them to dust. Although his overall Attributes are one of the weakest and lowest and his stats are considered below average, he is a mighty Ganker and is capable of unleashing the highest possible damage to an enemy with his strong spells, either spamming or casting it multiple times or heavily damage them with a nuke. Zeus is one of the few spell-casters who is still effective and powerful even in late game thanks to his high damage output. Zeus is recommended for beginners and intermediate players.

Basic Strategy

 * Always use Lightning Bolt before Arc Lightning so you may not lose your opponent in the fog.


 * Always watch your positioning as Lightning Bolt has a hell of a long range, Thundergod's Wrath has infinite range, and Arc Lightning has pretty long range too, so there is almost no reason to be up close and personal in battle unless you are chasing down heroes.


 * When trying to kill low hp heroes (low, but not low enough for Ultimate only) in hard to navigate areas use Thundergod's Wrath to gain vision of your enemy so you can Lightning Bolt them to death.
