Blitz Build (Zeus)

Build around Zeus Blitz, which detonates after a threshold of hits. Stack fast, multi-hit attacks to trigger the burst again and again.

At a glance


Status	Blitz (Zeus): damage triggers once a hit threshold is reached.
Comes online	When you have a Zeus boon applying Blitz plus a fast way to reach the hit count.
Core boon	Zeus Attack or Special that applies Blitz, plus a boon that lowers the threshold or raises the burst.
Good weapons	Sister Blades for hit speed; Witch’s Staff as a steady starter.

What this build is

Blitz is Zeus’s threshold status. Hits add charge to an enemy, and once the count is reached, Blitz detonates for a burst. The whole build is about reaching that count fast, so weapons and boons that hit many times in quick succession win. The faster you stack hits, the more often the burst fires.

Gods and boons to prioritize

Priority	God	What you get
Core	Zeus (Blitz)	Apply Blitz on Attack or Special. Then take the boon that lowers the hit threshold or increases the detonation.
Hit count	Fast multi-hit boons	Anything that adds extra hits or projectiles speeds the trigger.
Support	Athena (deflect) or Aphrodite (Weak)	Survivability while you rack up hits.
Sustain	Poseidon	Max health and reward bonuses.

A Zeus Duo Boon that chains or amplifies lightning is strong here. Names move with patches, so take the archetype: a Duo that adds a second source of rapid hits or spreads Blitz between enemies.

Daedalus Hammer to look for

Take the Hammer that multiplies hits or adds a rapid extra strike, since each extra hit pushes Blitz to its threshold faster. On Sister Blades, prioritize a Hammer that raises attack speed or adds strikes.

Arcana Cards note

Favor cards that raise boon rarity and attack speed or damage. See Arcana Cards.

Keepsake and Hex

Keepsake: the Keepsake that boosts Zeus’s appearance, to lock the Blitz core early.
Selene Hex: a Hex that groups or holds enemies so multiple foes hit the threshold together. See Selene and Hexes.

Do this in order

Take the Zeus boon that applies Blitz on your fastest hit.
Add the booster that lowers the threshold or raises the burst.
Use a fast, multi-hit weapon and keep contact on a target to reach the count.
Sprint between targets so several enemies are charging Blitz at once.
Take deflect or Weak support so you can stay in range to keep hitting.
Save the Hex to bunch enemies for a chain of detonations.

Watch out for

Slow single hits. They never reach the threshold; favor fast, repeated contact.
Standing in the open mid-Omega while surrounded. You are vulnerable mid-cast.
Spreading thin. Focus hits to actually trigger the burst.
