Storm’s Weapons in Marvel Rivals
Unlike some characters in Marvel Rivals, Storm doesn’t really carry a weapon. Her primary and secondary attacks are actually manifestations of her elemental powers. Those attacks are:
Wind Blade
- Launch forward piercing Wind Blades
Bolt Rush
- Hurl a lightning bolt forward
Storm’s abilities in Marvel Rivals
Storm is a ranged attacker and her playstyle primarily revolves around dealing damage from a distance while offering the occasional buff to teammates. Her abilities reflect that.
Abilities
Goddess Boost
- Storm channels the power of the weather to empower her. Tornado grants a movement boost, while Thunder grants a boost to damage and summons lightning to inflict passive damage to enemies.
Weather Control
- Storm switches the weather to empower allies. Tornado grants a movement boost, while Thunder grants a boost to damage.
Ultimate
Omega Hurricane
- Storm transforms into a hurricane that draws nearby enemies inside and deals damage.
Tips to play Storm in Marvel Rivals
Storm’s ability to hover above the arena offers fantastic verticality and mobility but the trade-off is that she can be easily sniped by ranged attacks. Having good situational awareness of enemy positions will keep you alive and safe from these.
That doesn’t mean you should be afraid to get airborne, just be careful when you do. Storm’s best utility in combat comes from ambushing foes from above after buffing her own attacks with the Goddess Boost.
Where she really shines is as a coordinating force that knows when to buff your teammates with Weather Control. When you’re ready to push, offer the speed boost to close in before switching to the damage boost once your team is on top of your opponents.
Storm’s Ultimate Omega Hurricane is a great tool for crowd control and can force enemies into a tight group for your teammates to pick off. This is also a good time to give your team a damage boost for quick kills.
