Overview
My name is Charles but my handle is Pkbubbles. This is the first time I’ve put my build to paper so lets see what the world thinks.I will be showing you how to properly build a Zeus. It’s hard to watch people flounder with him knowing he is the greatest god in this game no matter how hard they try to nerf him. Short, Simple, and Sweet. If you follow this guide to the T, you will be given a new respect for what Zeus has to offer.
ITEM BUILD
I will be showing you how to properly build a Zeus. It’s hard to watch people flounder with him knowing he is the greatest god in this game no matter how hard they try to nerf him. Short, Simple, and Sweet.
Zeus is mana hungry early on so buildiing level 1 or 2 of book of thoth before you build boots is highly recommended.
DO NOT DIVE EARLY!!! I REPEAT DO NOT DIVE EARLY!! Zeus is slow even with his boots and has absolutely no outs so until your mana is sitting above +20 regen and your health is around 1400 Dont expect to get the kills nor should you be baited into a trap. YOU WILL DIE.
So lets recap our first 3 items. {1} Vampiric Shroud {2} lvl. 2 Book of Thoth {3} Shoes of Focus. Once your Shoes have finished than you will complete the book of thoth and start to farm with a decent mana pool.
At this point you will notice your cdr is a bit low so your 4th item will be Chronos Pendant. This will give you a very solid 30% cooldown and allow your abilities to come back faster than the enemy expects. Do NOT Forget that you are still very slow and, although powerful, very weak. Now the health build begins. The Ethereal Staff should be your 5th item to give you a small but decent power boost to go along with the much needed health it has to offer. The enemy, at this point, sould be targeting you very heavy and this should make you realize that staying in tower or behind or near your teammates is a must because you will die if you dont.
Lets Recap once again.
{1} Vampiric Shroud
{2} Book of Thoth
{3} Shoe of Focus
{4} Chronos Pendant
{5} Ethereal Staff
Its at this point that you finally build your Rod of Tahuti. DO NOT BUILD IT SOONER. Although very tempting if you have the gold to exchange it at the time of Chronos Pendants build if youve been farming prperly, DO NOT DO IT. Mistakes will be made if you do and you will lose your team valuable ground. Once you’ve finished off Rod of Tahuti, you should be able to hold lane until you have gathered about 2000 gold before you return to your home to complete your build. Now depending on the 5 W’s (who,what,when,where,why) is what will decide what your going to replace the vampiric shroud with. If you need more health, replace it with the Warlocks Sash. If you need more Penetration, Replace it with the Obsidian Shard or the Spear of Desolation. If you need Defense, Replace it with the Hide of the Urchin, Bulwarks hope, or Mystical Mail, depending on your opponents.
BUILD RECAP:
{1} Vampiric Shroud————–> Becomes Circumstantial Item
{2} Book of Thoth
{3} Shoes of Focus
{4} Chronos Pendant
{5} Ethereal Staff
{6} Rod of Tahuti
CIRCUMSTANTIAL ITEMS
HEALTH Warlocks Sash
PEN. Obsidian Shard or Spear of Desolation
DEF Hide of the Urchin, Bulwarks Hope, or Mystical Mail
SKILL BUILD
Now that we have taken care of the item build we can get down to the easy stuff i.e. Skill Build.
{1} Chain Lightning
LEVEL ——- 1 6 10 14 15
{2} Aegis Assault
LEVEL——- 4 12 16 18 19
{3}Detonate Charge
LEVEL——- 2 3 7 8 11
{4}Lightning Storm
LEVEL——- 5 9 13 17 20
Obviously you want Charge built first because its your assassination ability and when fully charged does an immense amount of damage but i believe that chain lightning is almost as powerful due to its ability to lane clear as well as the ability to hit numerous gods at once. I believe wholeheartedly that “Ya can’t have One without the…. Other!!”
Zeus is a massively powerful mage and, if treated with patience in the early game with thought put into the build than he IS THE MOST POWERFUL and dangerous god in Smite.
I am Pkbubbles and I have a Diamond Zeus with 1500 worshippers as well as 1150 kills, 1500 assists, and about 90 wins.
Just so I’m extra clear, I also have 75 masteries, which means I’ve also mastered every God Smite has to offer, including the brand new ones. about 69 of them are Mastery 1, while my Raijin is Mastery 7, and I have 5 other gods above mastery 2. I play on Xbox so my steam side by side doesn’t do my experience justice.
