Zeus’ unique curse status is: Jolted– Victim’s next attack self-inflicts lightning damage that harms itself and nearby foes. Remember: You only need one of the required boons from each god.
Smoldering Air
Your God Gauge charges up automatically but is capped at 25%. Auto Gauge Gain: 1% every 0.2 seconds.
Don’t underestimate this duo boon. It allows you better access to another option in your arsenal.
Required Boons: Zeus- Lightning Strike, Thunder Flourish, Electric Shot, Thunder Dash, or Zeus’ Aid
Aphrodite– Heartbreak Strike, Heartbreak Flourish, Crush Shot, Passion Dash, or Aphrodite’s Aid
Vengeful Mood
Your Revenge effects sometimes occur without taking damage.
This is great when you have many Revenge damage sources. I imagine you have Ares’ and Zeus’ if you take this duo boon, but I also recommend Aphrodite and Demeter. It’s literally free damage and effects. In my opinion, this is one of Zeus’ best boons.
Required Boons: Zeus- Lightning Strike, Thunder Flourish, Electric Shot, Thunder Dash, Zeus’ Aid, or Thunder Flare
Ares– Curse of Agony, Curse of Pain, Slicing Shot, Blade Dash, Ares’ Aid, or Slicing Flare
Note: Vengeful Mood requires at least 1 Revenge effect from any god.
Lightning Rod
Your collectible Bloodstones strike nearby foes every 1 second. Lightning Damage: 70
Required Boons: Zeus- Lightning Strike, Thunder Flourish, Thunder Dash, Thunder Flare, Electric Shot, or Zeus’ Aid
Artemis– Deadly Strike, Deadly Flourish, True Shot, Hunter’s Flare, Hunter Dash or Artemis’ Aid
Note: Incompatible with Stygian Soul
Lightning Phalanx
Your Phalanx Shot Cast bounces between nearby foes. Max Bounces: 3
This boon is fun and useful. Your deflective Casts will bounce all over, protecting you from projectiles.
Required Boons: Zeus- Lightning Strike, Thunder Flourish, Thunder Dash, or Zeus’ Aid
Athena– Phalanx Shot
Cold Fusion
Your Jolted effects do not expire when foes attack. Jolted Duration: 10 seconds
Another useful boon. It’s not the flashiest but will certainly bring down your foes. Enemies attack. A lot.
Required Boons: Zeus- Static Discharge
Demeter– Frost Strike, Frost Flourish, Mistral Dash, or Demeter’s Aid
Scintillating Feast
Your Festive Fog effects also deal lightning damage periodically. Lightning Damage: 60
Required Boons: Zeus- Lightning Strike, Thunder Flourish, Thunder Dash, or Zeus’ Aid
Dionysus– Trippy Shot
Sea Storm
Your knock-away effects also cause foes to be struck by lightning. Lightning Damage: 40
I love this duo boon. It’s just damage upon even more damage! And the icon art is refreshing yet electrifying. Other than Vengeful Mood, this is one of Zeus’ best boons in my opinion.
Required Boons: Zeus- Lightning Strike, Thunder Flourish, Electric Shot, Thunder Dash, or Zeus’ Aid
Poseidon– Tempest Strike, Tempest Flourish, Flood Shot, or Poseidon’s Aid
Note: This applies to non-boon sources like Stygius’ lunge, special, and Aegis’ attack.
