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.

No mana = useless, Lots of mana is the same as godlike. Because of your ultimate: Ball Lightning, you can rape your enemy, and make enemy confused because of your high mobility and high damage from the Ball and Remnant, + your attack and also Overload. You need mana for doing that, Ball absorbs lots of mana, but it's so good because you can move freely around the area and easily harass enemy and also make enemy can't catch you because you will easily escape from them.
By using some Remnant, you can kills some creeps in a blow. This will faster your farm. The faster your farm , the stronger you are compared to your opponent. For faster farm, you can farm the jungles too. By using 3 remnant, you can kill the big camps easily. Remnant is the main weapon of your camping that will deal tons of damage to the creeps.
Mid Game
Mid game is the right time for you to show off. Here you will gain your maximum potential. You need to gank lots of times and keep harassing and killing enemies to help your team and shine in the game.
You need to combine all of your 4 skills into the action. Use Ball first, and the after you arrive in front of your opponent, use Vortex to disable your enemy and use Remnant to nuke your target, and then harass him using Overload and keep harassing him using normal attack and Remnant.
