Dota 2 - Storm Spirit Build Guide

BIO
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.
INTRODUCTION

Storm is considered a ganker and initiator, his time to shine is on mid game where lots of gank happening. And because his high mobility he can gank enemy easily and help the team to get many kills.

This is your disabling skill. You pull a target into you so you and your team can attack him freely. A good skill for ganking. And also by doing this, you get an Overload charge to help you harass your target.
You need this to initiate a teamfight after you use the Lightning Ball, then you should disable an enemy and harass him.

Casting a spell creates an electrical charge, which is released in a burst on his next attack, dealing damage and slowing nearby enemies.
Pow! Zip! Zap!

4. Ball Lightning
Storm Spirit becomes volatile electricity, charging across the battlefield until he depletes his mana or reaches his target. The mana activation cost is 15+7% of his total mana pool, and the cost per 100 units traveled is 10+1% of his total mana pool. Damage is expressed in damage per 100 units traveled.
The Storm is coming in.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, you should get some farms. You need farms to buy some mana items to get lots of mana because mana is your true source of power. You are very mana dependent. 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. If your target tries to run, you can catch him easily using Ball and Overload to slow down the target so your target can't escape from you anymore.

Lord of Heaven, father of gods, Zeus treats all the Heroes as if they are his rambunctious, rebellious children. After being caught unnumbered times in the midst of trysts with countless mortal women, his divine wife finally gave him an ultimatum: 'If you love mortals so much, go and become one. If you can prove yourself faithful, then return to me as my immortal husband. Otherwise, go and die among your creatures.' Zeus found her logic (and her magic) irrefutable, and agreed to her plan. He has been on his best behavior ever since, being somewhat fonder of immortality than he is of mortals. But to prove himself worthy of his eternal spouse, he must continue to pursue victory on the field of battle.

Why Lightning Bolt maxed first? This is your main nuks, it's damage is so high 350 in early game, with just 3-4 times casted on squishy INT/AGI heroes, it will 100% kill him.
Why Arc Lightning before Static Field? You need to combo Lightning Bolt and Acr Lightning to make your nukes more stronger.
STRATEGY
Early Game
If you are a support, you need to help your friends by buy them a courier and a pair of Observer Wards.
Because your carry needs farms, don't steal his farms. You can help by denying the creeps.
But if you are not a support, yo can also farms too. Because of your low range, it will be difficult to last hits, you must last hit carefully. You should also harass opponent using your Lightning bolt and Arc Lightning. In early game, your abilities are very painful.
Beware of enemy's gank attempt. You must see the fog area by using Wards. Retreat to your tower if you see the enemy that coming to you.
Mid Game
Here, I assume that you are already have your ultimate Thundergod's Wrath. In this stage of the game, your part is to spam your ability in any teamfights you participate. You need to spam Lightning Bolt to the most squishy enemy. You also need to spam Arc Lightning. Use your ultimate in every teamfights to deal damages to every enemy on the map.
If you feel its necessary, you can use your ultimate to kill anyone who is too far away from your teams range to chase him. Please don't use it to kill steal the carry because he should get the golds for the team.
Maybe here on the mid game, you should buy supportive items like eul or Schyte of Vyse.
What you need to remember:
1. When ganking you need to focus fire on one hero. You need to communicate it with your teammate, your team need to decide which hero should be focus fire first.
2. You may also needs smoke of deceit to hide yourself from enemy's ward.
3. Remember to buy sentry wards, dust, or gem before ganking invisible hero like Rikimaru or Nyx Assassin.
Late Game
Here your part is the same, that is to spam all your abilities in every teamfights. As an INT hero, you usually already have some supportive items here, like Schyte of Vyse or Eul's Scepter, you need to use that items to support your team.
And if you decide to go Refresher, it is a very good choice, because you will have 2 times ultimate, the damage will be so nice: 475 x 2 without Aghanim's Scepter and 640 x 2 with Aghanim's Scepter. With your ultimate alone, all your enemy's will be at half HP in seconds. You also can get RAMPAGE with this ability if you're lucky enough.
And if your team won the teamfight, you have two options:
1. You can get the Aegis for your team's main hero or
2. Your team can push enemy base and destrouy their buildings. Choose wisely!

BIO
The sibling rivalries between Lina the Slayer, and her younger sister Rylai, the Crystal Maiden, were the stuff of legend in the temperate region where they spent their quarrelsome childhoods together. Lina always had the advantage, however, for while Crystal was guileless and naive, Lina's fiery ardor was tempered by cleverness and conniving. The exasperated parents of these incompatible offspring went through half a dozen homesteads, losing one to fire, the next to ice, before they realized life would be simpler if the children were separated. As the oldest, Lina was sent far south to live with a patient aunt in the blazing Desert of Misrule, a climate that proved more than comfortable for the fiery Slayer.
