Storm Cloud is a unique tag that creates an autonomous lightning field around you. The Storm Cloud build scales its capacity and persistence so the cloud becomes a constant damage aura.
It is low-effort, high-reward: once built, the cloud damages everything near you while you focus on positioning.
Capacity Is King
Lightning Rod raises Storm Cloud capacity, and Fretted Clay Tablet gives a chance the cloud is not consumed on use. More capacity plus non-consumption means a near-permanent storm.
Pair With Cold
Slowing enemies with Glacier keeps them inside your cloud longer. The two tags compound into a control-and-damage combo.
