It's time for BftC:R Spotlight again!
This time I had a hard time to put up the spotlight! Cause I was searching someone on the ground while that thing was flying up in the endless Sky!
Yes, I mean the Storm Raider... The terrifying hero of BftC: Reloaded.
What I mean by terrifying... Well, You know, this guy flies up in the sky...
Now what's with that?
Okay.... In the game, there are areas like Cliffs, Waterlines etc. that you cannot normally cross, hence while playing you have to keep an eye on these routes so that none would attack or ambush you and try to take you out. Now, to any moderate level player, this is an easy task. But imagine what happens when you foe can easily fly over the obstacles?
...that is what terrifying about Storm Raider... He can popup anywhere, ambush you, and if it is not working, vanish back above cliffs or water so that you'd never be able to catch him! I mean, no matter how fast you are, you cannot do a cliffjump!
Storm Raider has unique features as a flying hero, the other advantage comes as being a flying hero, and that is the bonus sight! Yes, be default, units on lower heights cannot see past the cliffs or elevated areas, but being a Storm Raider you now can see! That completely eliminates the idea of surprise attack on this guy... You cannot suddenly come down from a height to have him smashed down, he'll see you... Easily!
Of course, the Storm raider cannot see beyond the cliff that is twice of his flying height, but if he raises altitude by hovering overa tree.. or something similar, he can!
Now, for his skills...
Storm Raider is a Thunder Elemntal... That means he playes with electricity.
(Insulated from ground, he's flying, right!)
His first skill is Eye of the Storm...
He shoots out a beam from his eye, and damages every enemy that comes in a way...
Of course he must focus his mind to release the beam and hence, the damage is depending on the INT attribute. This can cause the lower damage at the begining, but as the game progresses, you have damage that rises at incredible rate, additionally, you can addup extra INT boosting items so that he down some 'buffed-up' damage.
Eye of the Storm Test Cast, Amazing! 
Eye of the Storm
Storm Raider can move or attack while using this ability... Makes it really useful. Secondly, he has an innate skill, Static Charge. That accumulates charge over time. But attacking or using an ability will cause to lose the stored charge... The stored charge is used by his signature move - Storm Raid.
Storm Raid is quick and handy tool for both attack creeping*.
It calls down the bolts of lightning from the sky... While each bolt does a specified damage, the number of bolts depend directly on the Static Charge that was accumulated by the Storm Raider.
Of course, thus if you have stored up some real high charge, then you can unleash the really strong Storm Raid that can take down even the strongest enemies.
Additionally, Storm Raid requires Area-target. It means, it will strike on the enemies in the Area selected by user. This enhances the skill part as User must consider the Level of Static charge plus the number of enemies becore casting the Storm Raid. If cast on less number of enemies with High Charge, it would deal tremendous damage, but if cast while low charge and on large group, it would deal a lot less damage as the number of bolts will reduce. The enemies to be struck by bolt are selected randomly, As Storm Raider can only roughly direct a direction, but not have an exclusive control over the bolts. Of course, if you manage to cast it on the single enemy in the whole selected area, then all bots strike him, and deals full damage.
I have picked some screenshots of Storm Raid... And a few more.. Hope you like 'em
Storm Raid on Single Target 
Max Power Storm Raid 
Storm Raid creates less bolts on Low Charge 
After much experiments, I manageg to reduce the Shake of the bolts. and Got'em straight... Hehe *Creeping - Attacking, engaging and killing the Non-Hero troops of enemy side. This primarily gives experience to hero and levels it up.
