The Storm’s Ultimate ability is Elemental Storm, which allows you to drop three massive elemental blasts on an area. While this will give you a good amount of air time, it’s still important to always pay attention to your heat meter. Before engaging in battles, we recommend dropping down at a safe spot and letting your meter completely drain before starting your hover. While the Storm’s increased hover is a useful tool, it can also create a bad habit of not actively checking your heat meter. This makes hovering as much as you can crucial, since fighting on the ground will only lead to your shield depleting quickly.

In addition to being able to hover for much longer, the Storm receives a shield boost while in the air. Look for different forms of cover, like large stalactites hanging from the roof of caves or cliffs that you can quickly duck behind after dealing damage. The Storm can hover in the air for far longer than every other javelin, so keep this in mind when positioning yourself. When approaching battles, positioning yourself high in the air, preferably behind some cover, will allow you to land precise shots and prime enemies without worrying about your shield dropping every ten seconds. While the rest of your team may charge head-on into battle, the Storm is much more methodical than that. Like we mentioned before, the Storm excels at long-range play. However, the Storm’s approach to battle can also be very situational, as some areas in Anthem can be pretty tight, forcing the Storm to fight much closer than one would like to.įor instances like these, we recommend keeping a more close-range weapon on deck as your secondary, like an Assault Rifle or SMG, for times when you find yourself up close and personal with an enemy. The Storm’s fragile nature lends itself to a long-range playstyle.Īs a result, you’ll find the Storm excels when using Sniper Rifles and Marksman Rifles, as these weapons have the best accuracy and allow you to remain active in battle when your abilities are on cooldown. Something crucial for all classes in Anthem, but especially the Storm, is what kind of weapons you choose to equip.
