Static Remnant

This spell helps us farm faster, charge Overload and give AoE damage in fights. In early game we
can use it to harass the enemy and maybe even kill.

This is interesting

 Static Remnant can see through the trees and landscape; works on invisible heroes that let us know
if someone is chasing us in invisibility, or kill someone who tries to escape through the forest.

Electric Vortex

This spell makes us great initiator. We can fly into fight and kill the key hero of the enemy team
faster than lightning.
 This is interesting

 Electric Vortex cancels teleportation and channeling spells from enemy heroes. Like Black Hole of
Enigma.
 The target will be pulled to the place of cast.

Overload

Great passive spell that makes our farm easier and increases our attack. Overload is charged when
we use spells so we can make it always charged after level 6 when we will be able to charge with
Ball Lightning.

This is interesting

 It won’t charge from use of item.

 Overload does not stack. It doesn’t matter how many spells you have used, damage will be the
same.

Ball Lightning

This is our main spell. With it we can chase the target or escape the gank, and also fly into the fight
or out of it. Ball Lightning charges our Overload, if we will use that smart we will deal huge damage
in fights.

This is interesting

 We are invulnerable during Ball Lightning.

 It stops working when we have 0 mana.
 During the effect we can use our spells, items and attack
 With Ball lightning we can avoid some spells.
 Early game for Storm Spirit(up to 15 minute)

What I should do?

The best choice of lane for us is mid. First items: 3x  Iron Branch,  Mantle of
Intelligence, 2x  Clarity,  Tango. With those items we will have quite a lot of mana,
attack and regeneration that will be vital.

What item build we will have?

The first goal is to get  Bottle, and don’t forget to control runes. When we have it, we will be
able to play aggressive, set our Static Remnant and charge Overload. With first money, we will
upgrade our  Mantle of Intelligence to  Null Talisman, and  Iron Branch to  Magic
Wand, and buy  Boots of Speed. Now Storm Spirit has great mana pool and also move
speed.

After we got 6th level and Ball Lightning we can go gank if there is a need. Don’t forget to use
the ultimate in ganks to charge overload, because it has no cool down, so we can have it
charged all the time if we have enough mana. After we go back on the lane we should
upgrade  Boots of Speed to  Power Treadsand use them of Strength. Because we have
not a lot of HP and we will die in first rows in fights. Now we have all the items for start and if
there is nothing interesting on the map we can go back to farm.
 Middle game for Storm Spirit(from 15 till 35 minute)

What I should do?

First serious item for us will be  Orchid Malevolence that will give us great mana
regeneration and the ability to Silence the enemy. We should be very active in this game stage
and be useful for the team. Now when Strom has good mana regeneration we can charge
Overload with Ball Lightning more often. If there are no fights on the map we should farm and
try to fight 1v1, but be careful that you won’t attack the bite. Our next item can be one of both
–  Black King Bar or  Scythe of Vyse.

Black King Bar should be bought if In fights we get disabled or Silenced a lot, and if enemy
team won’t give us a chance to do anything.

But if there are no such troubles we will buy second item –  Scythe of Vyse. It will give us a
lot of intelligence and increase our mana regeneration. We also will get the ability to turn the
enemy into a little animal for 3.5 seconds that with  Orchid Malevolence and our Electric
Vortex will be very powerful disable.

If fights happen all the time we should slay Roshan and get ourselves  Aegis of the
Immortal.

Late game for Storm Spirit(from 35 minute)

 
  

What I should do?

In late game we show our potential of nuker and disabler. We have a lot of mana and
regeneration, 3 disables and what to get next?

The best idea is to buy  Shiva's Guard and  Bloodstone that will give us almost unlimited
mana and great damage from attack. Usually game is over by that moment but if no, we should
buy  Dagon to dominate even more.
