Mobile duelists and high-durability vanguards are effective counters to Storm’s zoning-heavy playstyle.
Additional zoning heroes and dive duelists can limit Storm’s ability to control space effectively.
She excels at punishing clustered enemies and fragile supports with her overwhelming AoE damage.
Storm is a powerful duelist who dominates fights with her control of weather. Her lightning and wind abilities allow her to zone enemies, disrupt team positioning, and deal consistent ranged damage. She excels in large-scale teamfights and objective control, where her AoE impact is maximized. Players should position Storm at medium range, leveraging her zoning tools to pressure enemy frontlines while threatening backlines with bursts of lightning. She pairs especially well with vanguards who hold space, giving her freedom to unload her abilities safely. Her counters are mobile duelists who can dodge her skillshots and strategists who can out-range her poke. Strong initiators can also collapse on her before she ramps up. Still, Storm is one of the most dangerous duelists when allowed to cast freely.
