Ororo Munroe, known as Storm, wields the formidable ability to control the weather, making her a force to reckon with in Marvel Rivals. Mastering her skills means you can dictate the flow of combat and leave opponents struggling to keep up with your precision and strategic support.
How to Effectively Play Storm in Your Team
Storm excels when paired closely with teammates, especially compared to other flyers like Iron Man or Human Torch. Her unique “Weather Control” ability not only buffs allies but also damages nearby foes, making her a versatile asset in team fights. Players who can aim accurately will find Storm’s abilities devastating, as she can boost either movement speed or damage for nearby teammates, enhancing overall team performance.
Her ultimate ability demands attention and can turn the tide of a match when used wisely. Storm’s skill set makes her a perfect choice for Duelist players looking to secure a spot even in highly competitive lineups with multiple Vanguards. Keeping her near the team allows her to protect Strategists from agile enemies like Spider-Man by using Goddess Boost, which can auto-track fast-moving opponents.
Strategic Use of Storm’s Ultimate Ability
When activating Storm’s ultimate, the best approach is to target the enemy’s backline, focusing on fragile Strategists and Duelists. There’s a brief window before the ultimate fully activates, allowing players to carefully aim and maximize impact. Starting from the rear and moving forward to finish off weakened enemies is a smart tactic. Additionally, this ultimate can disrupt enemies holding objective points, which can be a game-changer.
Even if no kills are secured, a well-timed ultimate can force opponents to use their cooldowns or defensive abilities prematurely, providing a strategic advantage.
Training Your Aim for Maximum Impact
Improving aim is crucial to unleashing Storm’s full potential. Practicing in the firing range with the Cloak and Dagger training dummy set to “random,” “very quick,” and “mid-range” movement helps build the precision needed. Flying and weaving around activation terminals while firing in short, focused intervals will significantly sharpen your targeting skills before jumping into matches.
Breakdown of Storm’s Abilities
- Omega Hurricane (Ultimate): Storm summons a powerful hurricane on the ground that she can steer, devastating fragile enemies like Strategists and Duelists quickly.
- Wind Blade (Primary Attack): A rapid projectile attack requiring precise aim. It’s highly effective for long-range air-to-air combat, allowing Storm to take down opponents like Iron Man and Human Torch from a distance.
- Weather Control: This passive toggles between two buffs for Storm and nearby allies—Tornado, which boosts movement speed for quick objective runs, and Thunder, which increases damage output.
- Goddess Boost: Enhances the current Weather Control buff. Boosting Tornado speeds up allies and slows enemies, while boosting Thunder increases damage and strikes nearby foes.
- Bolt Rush (Secondary Attack): A hitscan lightning bolt that deals damage with a slight wind-up. Use it frequently to supplement Storm’s damage output.
Burning Hurricane (Team-Up Ultimate): Extends the duration of the ultimate and transforms it into a fiery whirlwind. This is ideal for moments when maximum enemy elimination is critical. However, it’s generally better to use Storm’s and Human Torch’s ultimates separately to maintain control over fights and area denial.
