Gameplay
" Everyone complains about the weather…well, I'm doing something about it!"
A force of nature, Storm Spirit is the ferocious force of the wind and weather captured in human form. And what a raucous, lighthearted, unstoppable form it is! He brings a lively energy to every scene, as cheery as a favorite uncle. However, this was not always the case, and his creation contained tragedy. Good people were starving in drought and famine generations ago in the plains beyond the Wailing Mountains. A straightforward elementalist by the name of Thunderkeg invoked the spirit of the storm while requesting rain using a forbidden spell.
The Storm Celestial known as Raijin, furious at this mortal's arrogance, devastated the land, ravaging it with winds and floods. Thunderkeg couldn't stand a chance against the Celestial, at least not until he used a suicidal spell to seal their doomsday: he imprisoned the Celestial inside the cage of his own body. The jovial Raijin Thunderkeg, a Celestial who travels the world in physical form, was created when Thunderkeg's boundless good humor fused with Raijin's insane energy while they were trapped together.

General
Storm can be built in a variety of ways, but approximately 95% of players construct him similarly. For last hitting, Static Remnant is always taken at level 1, and Overload at level 2. Ball Lightning is taken at 6, Electric Vortex at 3, 4, and 5. While others choose to obtain the final point before obtaining the other three Overload points, some choose to leave Electric Vortex at 3 and maximum Overload. Personally, I prefer to complete all four levels of Electric Vortex by level 7, as the additional disable time has two benefits. First of all, it gives you and your allies more time to inflict damage on the opposition. Additionally, it reduces the amount of time you are slowed while the target is disabled.
Getting an extra level of Electric Vortex guarantees the kill because at lower levels you do not have enough mana to chase with Ball Lightning. The additional level of Overload does, however, significantly increase your damage output if your team has enough disables. Static Remnant is maxed last after Overload and Electric Vortex, and you always try to use your ultimate at levels 6, 11, and 16.
