Storm Ultimate Goddess Booster
Public Beta / Test Launch V3
By Shadowsire aka M.R.C

WARNING!
Please back up your files before installing. I am not responsible for data loss, crashes, save issues, or damage to your game installation, laptop, or PC.

This is a beta/test release. I have tested this booster on both new games and existing saves, but every MUA setup is different. If you run into errors, try testing on a new game with default stats and without cheats before reporting the issue.

This booster is currently in a polishing pass, so feedback is welcome and appreciated.

ABOUT THIS BOOSTER
==================

Storm Ultimate Goddess Booster is a full gameplay overhaul for Storm in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

The goal of this booster is to make Storm feel closer to an omega-level weather goddess while still keeping her balanced and playable within MUA's combat system.

This booster includes:

* New and reworked powers
* Tap / hold / rapid-tap power behavior
* Custom power icons
* Reworked weather FX
* Reworked melee effects
* New wind, lightning, rain, hail, fog, blizzard, and tornado concepts
* New Xtreme design
* Hidden advanced techniques
* Team support and defensive weather abilities

============================================================

POWERSET
========

Green = Attacks
Blue = Boosts
Red = Xtreme
Yellow = Hidden / Advanced Techniques

---

ATTACKS

Lightning Strike / Storm

Calls lightning down from the sky. Designed around tap, rapid-tap, and hold behavior. Rapid tapping continues the lightning barrage, while holding creates a more focused lightning attack.
*The description of this power is wrong in the character pause menu...currently seeking help to fix.*

Tornado / Hurricane

Creates powerful wind and tornado attacks. The hold version focuses on a controllable violent tornado vortex, while the tap/rapid-tap version creates wider hurricane-style battlefield disruption that suspends enemies while suffocating them dealing DOT.

Thunder Clap/ Thunder Cloud

Summons a dark thundercloud that pressures enemies with thunder damage, fear, and damage-over-time effects. Hold to execute cloud over a single enemy that weakens them for a time.

Downpour / Deluge

Calls violent rain and hail onto enemies. Designed for area pressure, knockdown, and storm damage. The hold version calls down massive flooding rain and some sleet and hail to wash away foes.

Snow Storm / Blizzard

Creates freezing storm conditions. The hold version focuses more on freeze/control snowstorm, while the rapid-tap unleashes a wide blizzard that expands/intensifies with each tap.

---


BOOSTS

Veil of Mist

Summons mist to help hide and support the team. Provides team invisibility, critical support, and energy regeneration boost.

Maelstrom Aura

Surrounds Storm and allies with a defensive weather aura. Intended to reduce damage, protect against elemental/freeze effects, and damage nearby enemies. Now gives storm total projectile and beam immunity and deflect.
*Updated visuals*

---


XTREME

Cyclone Fury

Storm unleashes an omega-level weather assault combining tornadoes, rain, hail, lightning, and storm devastation.

---

NEW! SPECIAL TALENT

Tempest Mastery
Enhances Storm's melee attacks with lightning and wind, then unlocks advanced weather techniques as ranks increase such as hidden block techniques and changes to her melee combat.


---

HIDDEN / ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

Lightning Spheres
Hidden block-modifier technique. Allows Storm to use fire spheres of lightning that home and track enemies.
Hold BLOCK & Tap Attack to execute.


Arctic Winds
Hidden block-modifier technique. Allows Storm to use an additional cold/wind control technique outside her normal power slots.
Hold BLOCK & Tap Smash to execute.


Lightning Explosion
Hidden block-modifier technique. Allows Storm to gather electrical energy and detonate it as a small AOE.

============================================================
CURRENT BETA STATUS
===================

Version: Public Beta V3
Status: Playable beta / polishing pass

Most of the core gameplay design is already in place. This beta is being released so players can try the current version and give feedback before the final polish pass.

I am currently looking for feedback on:

* Crashes or freezes
* Missing effects
* Missing sounds
* Balance issues
* Powers that feel too weak or too strong
* Powers that feel visually messy
* Save-game issues
* Install issues
* General gameplay feel

============================================================
KNOWN ISSUES / STILL BEING WORKED ON
====================================

General Polish
I am still checking for lingering FX, repeated-cast stability, balance, and visual readability.

I will be smoothing out animations and fxs and trying to master the craft of modding and polishing everything the best I can

============================================================
HOW TO INSTALL
==============

1. Back up your files first.
2. Download the Storm Ultimate Goddess Booster beta package.
3. Copy/drag the included folders into your Marvel: Ultimate Alliance directory.
4. Allow files to overwrite only if you understand which Storm files are being replaced.
5. Launch the game and test Storm at a S.H.I.E.L.D. access point.
6. If you experience issues, report them with details.

Recommended:

* Back up your saves.
* Back up your original Storm files.
* Do not install over another Storm booster unless you know what files are being replaced.
* Test on a new game if you experience problems on an existing save.

============================================================
HOW TO REPORT BUGS
==================

If you report a bug or crash, please include:

* Your game setup
* Whether you are using OCP, EXG, OHS, or other major mods
* Whether it happened on a new game or existing save
* Which power/action caused the issue
* Which map or mission you were in
* Whether it happened once or repeatedly
* Screenshots or video if possible

This will make it much easier to fix issues.
