If you’re keen on the DPS role for your team, you’ll probably take a shine to one of the game’s Duelists. Storm uses the power of wind and lightning to make life for your opponents hell. She can fly freely around the battlefield and blast your enemies with powerful attacks while buffing your teammates with movement speed and damage increases.

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.
That’s pretty much everything you need to know about how to play Storm in Marvel Rivals.
