How do you initiate as storm spirit

[sometimes i do drugs]

[Hewlett]

1. Cast Ball Lightning.(Don't use your ball lightning if you're going to initiate from a far.)
2. Cast Electric Vortex.
3. Cast Static Remnant.
4. Cast Ball Lightning.
5. Cast Static Remnant again.
6. REPEAT 2 & 3 or 3 & 4.

Or

3. Cast Ball Lightning to get close to the enemy after rooting them with Electric Vortex.
4. Cast Static Remnant.

I call this, the drive-by.

1. Cast Ball Lightning.(Don't use your ball lightning if you're going to initiate from a far.)
2. Cast Static Remnant.
3. Cast Ball Lightning and watch your your after image explode.

OPTIONAL ITEMS:
- Blink Dagger or Force Staff.
- Linken's Sphere. (You don't want getting silence or grab when running away now, do you?)

Solo:

Ball Lightning into them (preferably shorter range at lower levels) --> Electric Vortex --> Attack --> Static Remnant --> Attack --> Short range Ball Lightning towards them --> Attack

Pretty sure that's how it works.

For Teamfights:

You want to do this with fewer attacks in the middle (as once you get silenced or stunned you're in trouble), while aiming at the supports (preferably with big ultimates so they can't get them off, or they do, but in the wrong place) AFTER the teamfight starts. It's not a good idea to jump into a team solo as Storm Spirit. Your team needs a primary initiator, like Earthshaker, to get in there first.

sorry for bumping an old thread but:

primary initiator? So i can't initiate as I would with a tidehunter or sven? Could you also link a video with a storm spirit initiate?

You're a squishy intelligence hero. You cannot initiate the same way as with Tidehunter, because all it takes is a stun or silence and you're dead.

[(You)]

1. Attack them
2. Ball Lightning directly to them to proc Overcharge
(even if you attack them before you use an ability, as long as you cast the ability before your attack projectile hits the target, it will still trigger overcharge)
3. Electric Vortex them
4. Attack them to proc Overcharge (OPTIONAL)
5. Cast Static Remnant
6. Attack them to proc Overcharge
7. Ball lightning
8. Attack them to proc Overcharge
9. Repeat steps 5-8 until they die
Also, you'll probably be running out of mana pretty quick early game, so if you need some in the middle of a fight, simply Ball Lightning out of the fight, use your bottle, then jump back in. You NEED to be effective with your bottle in the chaos of a fight to play Storm effectively. Have fun playing Storm Spirit! ;)
