How it Plays

Early game Playstyle:

The early plays around building up power cores with killing palm. Once you have power core you unleash them with falling thunder for massive AoE damage. Outside of this use tempest flurry with tempest bell for big boss and close range damage.

Mid Game Playstyle:

Charge in with gathering storm to deal huge AoE damage and shock all enemies. Drain shock with siphoning strike to give power charges. Charge staff and then deal big damage. Any additional charges can be used for falling thunder, but always keep staff charged. Drop bell for big single target damage and stun on yellows/bosses.
