Adventure map
The first two Great Storm adventure maps consisted of three rings, 16 nodes per ring, and the Boss in the middle, a total of 49 nodes.

The third storm split the outer ring into 8 fins with two nodes and added one node at the end resulting in 57 nodes.

To get the total number of beatable battle locations, you need to subtract the starting point and the three Altar of Powers.

Action Points TGS Action Point.png
Exactly the same as in Adventures, they are used to move around the map, except they have a different icon. Players start with 5 free Action Points, additional ones can be collected by completing Quests or by buying them for 500 Emeralds each.

Leftover Actions Points will be exchanged for Storm Legacy chests after the event is over,
 * 1 Action Point = 1.6 Storm Legacy Chests
 * Note: The resulting number of chests will be rounded up

Storm Coins Storm Coin.png
Storm Coins can be traded in the Great Storm Shop for various items.

Leftover Storms Coins will be exchanged for Storm Legacy chests after the event is over.
 * 750 Storm Coins = 1 Storm Legacy Chest
 * Leftover coins below 750 will be converted to an additional chest

Storm Legacy
The Storm Legacy chest contains Chaos Particle, Pet Potions, and other unexpected prizes, it can be bought in the Great Storm Shop or traded in for leftover Action Points and Storm Coins.

Chances according to HWGame's data (12641 openings).

Altar of Power
There are three Altars of Power on the map, only one buff per node can be selected:

The third storm changed the locations of the buffs, moving the defense buffs further away.

Force of the Storm
Your Heroes lose X% of their max Health in Pure damage once per second. Enemies take X% less damage.

enemy Damage Reduction = $$100x \over (x+100)$$ || where X=(Storm Power - Storm Resistance)

The Force of the Storm gets stronger the closer to the center the squad is. The effects are reduced by 5 points per beaten squad. To reach the maximum Storm Resistance of 250, 47 squads and the three Harbinger's Steles must be beaten.

Rewards
There are six small chests that are randomly placed on the map and the Boss chest. The small chest give from NaN Storm Coins and the Boss chest 20,000 Storm Coins.

Squads
The Enemies scale with the power of your team at the start of the event. Beating a squad grants 5 Storm Resistance and a varing amount of Storm Coins.

The enemies, counterclockwise from the start, seem to be Chapter 9/10 enemies, Chapter 11/12/13 enemies, Chapter 14/15 enemies, Chapter 2/3/7 enemies, Chapter 4/6 enemies, Chapter 1/8 enemies from the campaign.

The Harbinger's Stele
The towers are called the Harbinger's Stele, although they have a different design than the Eyes of the Herald, they also strengthen the Boss with outgoing buffs:


 * #3 - New location: #8 - Decrease Magic damage taken by 75%
 * #19 - New location: #22 - Decrease Physical damage taken by 75%
 * #29 - New location: #41 - Increases Physical Attack and Magic Attack by 75% for the entire team

The third storm altered the locations slightly.

Entering the storm
Galahad: ''A strange-looking storm is headed towards Strongford from the west. The scouts are reporting that this is the handiwork of the leader of the Chaos forces. Her name is Xe'Sha, if I recall. So much for simple names!''

Mira: ''It's not just any storm, either. It's a truly fearsome mass of dark energy! Can you see it?''

Galahad: ''It's kind of difficult not to... Mira do you have a plan this time?''

Mira: ''Ugh... I wish I could figure out what else that monstrosity of a woman is planning... I believe you'll have to take your chance, Guardians. You will head straight into the storm. And... Take me along. I can sense it's the right thing to do.''

Defeating the first squad
Mira: ''My amulet is vibrating. I've never seen the Beacon do this before... I'm scared.''

Xe'Sha: You are absolutely right to be scared of me!

Mira: ''Who might you be, Xe'Sha? What brings you to the Dominion?''

Xe'Sha: ''It's none of your business, wench! The storm will avenge me!''

Mira: ''Don't listen to her, Guardians. Beware, the storm acts like a living creature. It attacks us with its own force. The Force of the Storm!''

Xe'Sha: ''Well said. But the forces of nature heed no words. Do not let the Force of the Storm destroy you. Over here! Run to the center!''

Mira: ''Don't! That voice is a trick. The closer to the center of the storm, the more dangerous it gets! The enemies of the Dominion can't be trusted, Xe'Sha! You hear me?''

Xe'Sha: ''Of course I do, my dear. You're going to die, the lot of you!''

Defeating the second squad
Galahad: ''Your amulet! Every time we defeat monsters, it pulsates.''

Mira: ''In these moments, I sense that the Beacon's energy grows and the destructive Force of the Storm fades. The amulet is shielding your, Guardians. It increases your Storm Resistance! Which means there's still a chance to defeat this enemy. We just need to keep fighting!''

Defeating the 6th squad (excluding steles)
Mira: Xe'Sha challenged us to reach the very center, the core of the storm.

Galahad: Obviously, it won't be easy to get there.

Mira: ''What if it's the crucial element of the storm? The very heart of it, its source. Did you see those three giant crystals, looking like watchtowers? I think the crystals feed the core of the storm with energy and protect it.''

Galahad: In that case, we need to disarm them so we can reach the heart of the storm!

Defeating the 10th squad (excluding steles)
Xe'Sha: ''The storm is growing more powerful. Harbinger! Soon, you will arrive to this world. And bring it to ruin! This is my gift to you, o great one! My revenge on the Dominion!''

Defeating the first stele
Mira: ''The Beacon! It's pulsating with light!''

Galahad: ''We destroyed the tower. The core is just ahead.''

Xe'Sha: ''You yet live? What a pity!''

Mira: ''Why, yes. We're just about to destroy the storm... along with you!''

Xe'Sha: ''An arrogant fool! Still, I'd like to see you try. After all, it's the only way for me to get hold of that bauble of yours!''

Mira: It's my amulet, and it's one of a kind across the worlds!

Xe'Sha: ''I couldn't care less! I'll just take it from you.''

Attacking the Boss
Xe'Sha: Give me your name, insolent wench!

Mira: ''I'm Mira. Don't bother giving me yours, I already know it. I also know that you possess something similar to my Beacon. It conjures the Force of the Storm, the exact opposite of my Resistance. Their inner energy aside, these items share a common nature, don't they?''

Xe'Sha: ''Don't waste your breath, you pathetic insect! You're going to die, the lot of you! Shame I won't be here to witness it. Duty calls...''

Beating the Boss
Xe'Sha: ''Your victory means nothing whatsoever. There will be another crystal, and another storm!''

Mira: ''You own an amulet that resembles my Beacon. Think about it, Xe'Sha. What if we're both...''

Xe'Sha: ''Begone! Your words matter naught to me. Soon, I will deal the next blow and open the gate for the great Harbinger!''
