Zeus is one of my favourite hero in dota. i like it cause it has a special attack with thunder and lightning. And luckily, it has a very strong damage, specially when using aghanim's scepter.
Okay, nothing i need to explain more .
Let's start the guide!
[/spoiler] for Pros And Cons:
Pros
-has one of the strongest nuke in the game
-dominates early game - mid game
-able to kill those pesky windwalking heroes that always manage to escape with less than 100hp left
Cons
-low hp, easy target for ambushes and ganks
-low mana pool since he needs to cast his skills all at once
-dominating power starts to diminish mid-late game
Skills Description
for Skill 1:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/a020.gif
Arc Lightning [C]
Hurls a bolt of arcing energy that laces through many nearby enemy units.
Level 1 - Arcs 5 times, deals 85 damage.
Level 2 - Arcs 7 times, deals 100 damage.
Level 3 - Arcs 9 times, deals 115 damage.
Level 4 - Arcs 15 times, deals 130 damage.
Mana Cost: 65/ 72/ 79/ 86
Cooldown: 2
Wow, a cooldown of 2 seconds! This is not really true, because sometimes the arc lightning takes a long time to bounce and you cannot cast another arc lightning during that period, you can only cast it after it has finished bouncing. This skill is much better than chain lightning because the damage is constant throughout, no damage loss when it bounces.
Did you know?
-Arc lightning will only bounce once on each target, it will not bounce twice or more on the same target
for Skill 2:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/a006.gif
Lightning Bolt (G)
Summons a bolt of lightning from the heavens to strike a target enemy.
Level 1 - Deals 100 damage.
Level 2 - Deals 175 damage.
Level 3 - Deals 275 damage.
Level 4 - Deals 350 damage.
Mana Cost: 75/ 95/ 115/ 135
Cooldown: 6
This skill is actually the key to your success. A 350 damage nuke for only 135 mana and 6 seconds cooldown? Count me in!
Did you know?
-Lightning bolt deals a mini stun
-Lightning bolt reveals invisible units in a 900 AOE when casted
for skill 3:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/a01x.gif
Static Field (F)
Whenever Zeus casts a spell, he will shock enemy heroes within 500 AoE a % of their current HP
Level 1 - Shocks for 5% of current hit points.
Level 2 - Shocks for 7% of current hit points.
Level 3 - Shocks for 9% of current hit points.
Level 4 - Shocks for 11% of current hit points.
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A
People seem to belittle this skill, it is now much more better than in the past although some may not think so. Now look at it this way, in the past you had to keep pressing F. But now, since arc lightning is spammable, you get 2 spells in one for the same cost!
Did you know?
-Static field cannot be reduced by magic resistance or armor
-Goes through certain skills like borrowed time and dispersion
-Static field ONLY affects heroes, it does not affect creeps at all
for Skill 4:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/a07c.gif
Thundergod�s Wrath (W)
Strike down all non-invisible enemy heroes with bolts of lightning.
Will reveal an area of around 500 AoE to all enemy heroes.
Level 1 - Deals 210 (335 with Scepter) damage.
Level 2 - Deals 335 (460 with Scepter) damage.
Level 3 - Deals 460 (570 with Scepter) damage.
Mana Cost: 225/ 350/ 450
Cooldown: 120
This is the skill which makes everybody have such a bad impression of Zeus, thinking that he is only for noob users who like to ks. But this is truly a devasting skill during team matches, this skill is similar to QoP�s sonic wave except that this skill will NOT miss.But there is one thing to remember though, never try to cut off his beard or you will pay with this.
Did you know?
-Reveals invisible units but will not damage them

Lightning bolt is a high fixed damage nuke, therefore it must be gotten as soon as possible of course, thundergod�s wrath is a no brainer I hope and Arc lightning helps a lot in harassing and getting creep kills. The damage increase per arc lightning is miserable and won�t make a lot of difference, and you don�t really need it to bounce up to 15 times do you? Therefore static field would be much a better choice since it probably deals more damage than arc lightning at every level.
Level 1 arc lightning is for using on creeps early if you find trouble last hitting. Level 3 lightning bolt gets you first blood real easy, seriously. I will elaborate more on this in strategy section.
Static field at level 2> lightning bolt at level 2, because you would probably deal more damage when static field procs with arc lightning than a level 1 lightning bolt
Item Build
for Item 1:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/btnancientoftheearth.gif http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/btnlesserclaritypotion.gif
Tangoes and Clarities
You need some of these to help your survive your early game while rushing your arcane boots. You can�t afford boots because they are too costly and will slow you down for your arcane boots, and the clarities help in using arc lightning to farm and harass at the same time.
for Item 2:
Arcane Boots
This boots is actually the mixing of boots and arcane ring. This boots is making your movement with zeus, because zeus movement is ultimately slow. The boots is also have a regeneration for mana, so it's so effective item.
for Item 3:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/btndaggerofescape.gif
Blinkdagger : Get this if you�re always getting ganked, and this helps a lot in running around the map and killing retreating heroes with your lightning bolt.
From here onwards, note that it should be situational, adapt to your own situation. For example, if you still find problems with your mana pool, then get soul booster and upgrade it into scepter later. If you find no problems with your mana pool anymore but you find yourself getting targeted and dying a lot, then get a heart instead.
for item 4:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/btnheartofaszune.gif
Heart of Tarrasque
Shop Level: 4
Description:
+300 Hit Points
+11 HP/Sec Regeneration
+35 Strength
Why heart? It increases your hp by 900+, thus allowing to cast even more arc lightning in battle and proc static field even more!
for Item 5:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/btninv_wand_05.gif
Aghanim�s Scepter
Shop: Level 4
Description:
+450 Hitpoints
+400 Mana
+30 Intelligence
Passive: Improves Ultimates for Lina, Zeus, Furion, Pugna, Rylai, Rhasta, Queen of Pain, Venomancer, Lich, Leshrac, Lion, Necrolyte, Keeper of the Light, Luna and Orge Magi
Cannot be Dropped
It increases his ultimate by 110 damage, and it gives you everything you need, additional hp and mana pool. Certainly a must for him.
[spoiler=open this] for Item 6:
http://dotaplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/btnheartofsearinox.gif
Refresher Orb
Shop: Level 4
Description:
+150% Mana Regeneration
+4 HP/Sec Regeneration
+40 Damage
Activate: Refresh Ability Cooldowns
210 Second Cooldown 375 Mana Cost
Cannot be dropped
Yes, you guessed it, a Refresher Orb! Why is this item so important to our every so schexy Zeus? This is a secret, but let me tell you it helps him regains back his stamina to cast all of his spells again for a cost of 375 mana! Woo, now really behold the wrath of the thundergod!

This will help you to play and be a winner in a game.
