So I'm assuming the Apoc synergy will remain unchanged but seeing as how they've increased her damage without synergies by a fair amount, they'll tune down the Apoc synergy indirectly by giving her a 1 or maybe 2 hit heavy.

In thinking 3 hits is the ideal zone. Not too insane but still makes her damage ramp fairly fast. 5 with the new buff is just too much

Would have been nice to see her walking/running animations changed to floating like her Pyramid X counterpart. That looks so much more correct for Storm. More energy based basics and less karate moves would be cool. Kinda like her Capcom sprites in those 90's fighters like MVC, X-men v SF etc.

Her buff seems insane especially with Horsemen ability but I wonder only one thing.
How many hits her new heavy attack will have ?

Storm is now the Mutant Nimrod counter. When he removes her Prowess and applies Shock, she will take no damage and receive two more Prowess Buffs!

Would also like to hear if the prowess’s have a cap and if they are consumed on specials

Just wondering if her immunity to shock means she will be a counter for Electro

it will not, his damage is passive and isn't related to shock

What I love about Storm's Buff is that she remains a simple Character to understand. One of the issues we face when updating old Champions is doing it without adding too much complexity. The game continues to grow and becomes less accessible to new players as we add more complexity, and that's something we want to avoid when doing Buffs, especially of Characters that new players are more likely to get/use.

I wish you'd changed your costume too.the costume of the year 1990 is amazing

If her prowess has no limit She'll be busted

I hope it’s that. It’ll match her potential in the comics.

I want to R3 her out of nostalgia.

I like how the page suggests recoil as a good mastery for her because she’ll be throwing lots of specials lmao
If you run her as a Horseman and/or with the Prof X/Colossus synergy with the recoil tree masteries, she’ll actually be very sustainable.
How would she be sustainable if recoil keeps taking her health away? Are they saying recoil increases her special attack damage even more?

Curious if she will be good with suicide. It seems that she will do enough damage that it doesn’t matter if her health goes down a bit. Maybe she will be more useful for short fights.

Sorry if I misunderstand what you are asking (I'm danish), but when having 1 point in recoil it gives you+30% attack on your special attacks... I believe maxed out gives you+60% special attack damage but you loose 10% HP.

Hello, dear @""Kabam Miike". I'd like to know why Storm and Mordo's upgrades weren't communicated to players through the in-game communication system. Maybe they didn't think they were important enough? In my opinion, these are substantial changes (especially regarding the Storm) and should be communicated within the game, not on the forum, as many of us are not fluent in English and we don't enter the forum very much. Please be kind to this, ok? [Note: message translated with Google]

I'm sure most players here like the new Storm Buff, but to be honest I don't like when they change the animation of old champs (not storm, not gamora and few other examples from the past).
These champs exists in many quests and challenges that other players still trying to complete and the new animation can make the challenge much harder... especially if it's harder to dex
For example, the Catarina challenge when you need to complete ROL with certain 3* champs... blocking damage with 3* will is huge and evading it is much harder.
like they Freeze the ability in these contexts, they should also freeze the animation (or at least leave it as it it...)
