Storm
Storm is the lightning-themed element in Anime Expeditions' combat effectiveness system. Storm units deal triple damage against Flame-elemental targets and take a damage penalty against Terra-elemental targets - the same matchup profile as Hydro, even though the two elements look and play differently.
Storm's 4-unit roster covers a wide rarity spread, from Rare units like Thunder Shinobi and Kid Assassin up to the Mythic-rarity Elf Mage and its evolved form Elf Mage (Unleashed), making Storm a reasonably accessible element to build around at multiple points in progression.

Dark is effective vs Light with no listed weakness. Light is effective vs Dark with no listed weakness. Farm and Neutral carry no combat effectiveness bonuses or penalties.
Because Storm and Hydro share the exact same matchup profile, either element fills the same strategic role on a team when the goal is countering Flame-heavy waves.
