Raijin Thunderkeg, the Storm Spirit is a quick and energetic intelligence Hero, wielding the elemental power of electricity in the storms. Capable of being a semi-carry with his abilities, he can create electrical clones and lightning rips while zapping them with a burst charge of electric bolts. He can sacrifice most of his mana to travel around the map by turning himself into a ball of pure electrical energy, to escape like the wind or shocking and devastating anyone on his path like an incoming storm.

Storm Spirit is a Hero for adrenaline junkies and high-energy players. Players who are not quick enough with their hands will not be comfortable with the gameplay style the Hero offers. He is recommended for intermediate players.

Bio

Raijin Thunderkeg, the Storm Spirit "Feel the wind in your hair!" Role: Carry / Initiator / Escape / Disabler Lore: Storm Spirit is literally a force of nature--the wild power of wind and weather, bottled in human form. And a boisterous, jovial, irrepressible form it is! As jolly as a favorite uncle, he injects every scene with crackling energy. But it was not always thus, and there was tragedy in his creation. Generations ago, in the plains beyond the Wailing Mountains, a good people lay starving in drought and famine. A simple elementalist, Thunderkeg by name, used a forbidden spell to summon the spirit of the storm, asking for rain. Enraged at this mortal’s presumption, the Storm Celestial known as Raijin lay waste to the land, scouring it bare with winds and flood. Thunderkeg was no match for the Celestial--at least until he cast a suicidal spell that forged their fates into one: he captured the Celestial in the cage of his own body. Trapped together, Thunderkeg's boundless good humor fused with Raijin's crazed energy, creating the jovial Raijin Thunderkeg, a Celestial who walks the world in physical form. Voice: Responses
