The Hero Siege Stormweaver Build is a lightning-based mage class that excels in high burst damage and AoE clearing. It harnesses storm energy to zap multiple enemies at once with lightning chain attacks. While it has strong wave-clear and mobility, it struggles with single-target damage until well-geared.
