Zeus is a blast pickaxe enchant that calls down lightning on the block you mined and breaks a sphere of blocks around it. The sphere grows with the size of your mine.
Effect#
- Each time you mine a block, Zeus rolls a chance of 0.02% per level, up to 2% at level 100.
- When it triggers, a lightning bolt strikes the mined block and every block in a sphere around it breaks.
- The sphere's radius is 9% of the shorter horizontal side of your mine, rounded to the nearest block, and always between 1 and 12 blocks. A bigger mine means a bigger strike, and the enchant level does not change the size.
- In prestige mines, which are shared, the radius is a fixed 4 blocks.
- Only blocks that belong to the mine are broken, and unbreakable blocks are skipped.
- Blocks broken this way pay out like blocks you mine yourself: tokens go to your balance and drops go to your backpack, and Fortune and Token Finder apply to them. Blocks broken by an enchant never roll for other enchants, so enchants do not chain.
- It can also trigger in prestige mines.

A chat message ("Your Zeus enchant activated!") confirms each trigger unless you have switched enchant activation messages off in your options.
Cost and unlocking#
It unlocks at Prestige 3 and shows as Epic in the enchant menu. Level 1 costs 50,000 tokens, and each further level costs more, following the formula on Pickaxe Enchant Costs. Your purchase cap is level 60 at Prestige 3 and reaches the full 100 levels at Prestige 7 (Pickaxe Enchant Caps). The maximum level does not change with rebirth.
Notes#
- The menu description says Zeus destroys "the nearby radius". The actual radius depends on your mine as shown above.
- Mines grow as you level them up, so your Zeus strike grows with them.
