===Pros===
*Area Attack
*High health and range
*Good DPS
*Quick attack rate
===Cons===
*Low movement speed
*Very long recharge time
*Low knockback count
==Strategy/Usage==
Zeus is basically a stronger Bahamut Cat, with better attack speed, health and range, most notably, but nothing too unique. His resistance almost never comes into play, but it does make him a lot more effective against Sunfish Jones, Clionel, St.Dober and few other threatening foes.
Zeus's range is one of his strongest points. Sitting at 480 range, he is one of the few units that can safely hit enemies that were specifically designed as Bahamut Cat's counter, such as THE SLOTH and Master A., who stand at 450 and 451 range, respectively.
Although he has resistance, defence is actually one of this unit's main issues. Zeus may tank Angels, but he only has 2 knockbacks, which can often lead to him dying even before Bahamut would. It is, therefore, not recommended to use him in stages where a lot of back and forth happens.
===True Form===
Almighty Zeus only gains a small boost in stats. Although it's a clear improvement, this form is only available late in the game, where it is already not enough, as many other units you may have access to at this point, including Awakened Ururun, already offer a more damaging option that also tends to last longer due to knockbacks. It is not recommended to give much priority to this form, but, luckily, it is very cheap, so unlocking it is still recommended.
===Talents===
As with many units, the standard stat boosts, Resist Wave and Resist Weaken are often situational, since few angels (Bears Be Back/Chibinel/Winged Pigge/Mr. Angel/Exiel) actually have this ability, and they don't mesh well with Zeus for their huge cost, even if you're desperate for alternatives. Target Zombie is likewise useless, since while he can tank, he doesn't have Zombie Killer to finish them off. Granted, your other units can achieve it, but often they are so much better at the job whereas Zeus could simply deny them the opportunity.
===Ultra Talents===
Zeus' Ultra Talents are the main thing giving him his relevance, specifically Behemoth Slayer. It doesn't do that much for his niche of tanking, although he can get some extra defense against Ariant and especially Rajakong. Where this ability shines is in his generalist value. He already has above average dps and range, especially at level 60, where he has 13.6k. However, against behemoths, he has 34.1k dps, which is incredibly high. Zeus' matchups are also very good, only suffering against a select few behemoths that can pierce, like Scissorex or Hazuku. Even then, his overall bulk can give him a sporting chance against any behemoth, similarly to Urs. The two combined can make these otherwise untamable enemies and make them much more manageable.
Unfortunately, Slow holds up far worse. Due to only being a single second long, Zeus will barely hold back most aggressive angels, especially not when Sanzo does the same thing far better. Even in the uber category, Zeus' slow in borderline unacceptable for an uber, much less one that requires such a heavy investment, which is otherwise justified by Behemoth Slayer and not the slow talent. Luckily, that alone manages to make Zeus a recommendable unit to invest into, even with the existence of Urs.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Appears as a pixelated stone disc with a cat embedded in the middle. However, floating above, are four pillars surrounding a gigantic throne with golden trimmings where Zeus sits casually wielding a lance. When zoomed in, only the golden (and blurry) root of the throne is visible. When fully zoomed out however you can see Zeus's full form, provided the stage is long enough. To attack, Zeus dips down to touch the cat disc, raises his lance and a lightning bolt strikes down from above. Note that the unit's hitbox is only that of the cat disc.
*Evolved Form: Zeus himself dons some golden armor and the throne gains wings. Both the throne and cat disc receives some more golden trimmings.
*True Form: Still same, but now he's accompanied by a white fairy with gold wings and a wand. Also, in the bottom of him is a flat circle surrounded by butterflies with a golden flower and cherry in its center.
==Trivia==
*In the English version of the game, his description erroneously describes his Resistance as "strong against".
*Prior to Version 4.7, The Majestic Zeus was a part of another Cat Combo called Advent of the Almighty.
*Zeus is the god of the sky and ruler of all gods in Greek mythology.
