MYM|Merlini's guide to Zeus

dota-allstars, hero guide, merlini, mym, zues

United States of America Ben 'Merlini' Wu is known for his phenomenal and influential play with Zeus. With the famous clip of Merlini turning a 1-on-3 near death situation into 3 kills with Zeuss cemented his place as one of the most popular in the world.

Merlini has written a hero guide covering the item builds, skill builds and ways to play Zeus throughout the game. Covering how to lane, solo and Merlinis '5 golden rules', along with a video, screenshots and a replay, this is a hero guide not to miss.

Short, sharp and shiny is what this guide is. Very readable and easy to understand for players of all skill levels, this guide gets straight to the point and explains everything in a very simple way.

Zeus remains one of the most popular heroes in DotA. Not only is he incredibly fun to play in public games, but he is considered so powerful that he is either a ban or first pick in organized games. Although he does not have an escape mechanism (more recently with the Dagger nerf), he is one of the few non-stun Intelligence heroes to see competitive play. Zeus is not too complex of a hero: He has insane burst damage early game, with great scaling lategame thanks to Static Field, and a global nuke that is perhaps one of the most annoying skills in all of DotA.
