How Storm should create ranked value
Win from height and wide angles; your value drops fast when you drift into easy melee range.
Editorial note: this section is Pocket Rivals advice for everyday ranked lobbies. Use the official source panel for canonical ability text, then use this ranked read to decide what to practice next.
First job
Play behind a Vanguard who creates the first distraction instead of opening alone.
Practice next
- 1Take an off-angle before using burst cooldowns.
- 2Keep mobility or a defensive tool for the exit.
- 3Shoot the target your tank or other Duelist is already pressuring.
Avoid
Do not open every fight by burning mobility forward. If the burst fails, you need an exit.

Born a Mutant and worshipped as a Goddess due to her ability to manipulate the weather, Ororo Munroe became the X-Man known as Storm. As the regent of Sol and the protector of Arakko, she now serves as a protector for Mutants on Earth and beyond.
The chronal energy generated by the Timestream Entanglement has resulted in violent temporal tempests on the sentient island Krakoa, the nation that the X-Men call home. Although her powers are capable of stabilizing the island's climate, Storm seeks a more permanent solution alongside her fellow heroes.
