Repro: Sunspear + 3 Fire Bombs on PvP defence, fight your defence.  
Expectation: A firestorm is summoned before the player’s turn.  
Reality: No storms, but other class traits still trigger

❔

Some (/a lot) of the storm traits are worded a bit differently and have slightly different effects. Did you definitely test Sunspear, or just Stormcaller?

In reality, _neither_ should trigger _before_ your turn. Sunspear should trigger when your turn starts, after all start-of-battle traits have activated. For Stormcaller, you shouldn’t see the Lightstorm until you’ve ended your turn.

Yeah, I tested with Sunspear to begin with, then figured I’d try Stormcaller too. Good catch wrt/ Stormcaller trait!

Here’s a video with Sunspear:

Hey hey 🙂

Thank you for posting this! This issue isn’t a bug as Heatwave works the same way as Storm Soul, just a problem with the wording. We are going through a long process to make the wording is consistent across all descriptions.

Thank you for sharing this, it’s much appreciated 🙂
