Gameplay
Zues is the father of the gods, who always treat the heroes as if they were from his own blood group. However, after many times being caught dating countless mortal women, the wife of Zeus finally sends you a follow-up letter:
“If you love mortals like that, then try becoming a mortal. If you can prove your loyalty, then return to be my eternal husband. If not, please die among the creatures you love.”
Since then, Zeus began to behave like the best husband, no longer attached to mortals, to give all his love to the goddess of his life. However, to prove that he is worthy of her, he will have to continue to win more victories on the battlefield.
Once a god of boundless strength, Zeus had sacrificed most of his immortality in exchange for the chance to crush the ferocious armies of the undead. Even though his soul had passed into martyrdom, his powers were greatly reduced, but it was not enough to quench the Thunder God's determination for justice. With absolute precision, he annihilated all enemy squads with his impressive electrical discharge, punishing stubborn idiots with fierce lightning bolts from the sky. Always wary of his fierce attacks, the Scourge cowered in fear as they suffered the Lord of Olympia's terrible wrath.

Tips & Tactics
General
Zeus is a hero with a fairly simple way to increase points in the world of DOTA 2 because of his skills that have been little modified since then. At the beginning of the game, you should increase 1 point in Arc Lightning and Static Field to be able to stick to the Mid lane, both farm and harass your opponent.
Then max out on Lightning Bolt to take damage and go into fights in the mid game. You can then choose between maxing out Static Field or Arc Lightning first. The direction of increasing the Static Field first will have the advantage of "anti-tank" the opponent, while maximizing Arc Lightning will help you farm and deal pretty good damage but cause a shortage of mana.
This way is the traditional way and quite popular until now applied to Zeus following the Nuker + Ganker path. The reason to get the maximum Static Field (E) before Arc Lightning (Q) is to save mana for Zeus while still ensuring the amount of damage dealt.
