Other Abilities[]
- Spawn Monsters: The Storm King will spawn Husk and Mist Monsters to attack players.
- Summon Mini-Bosses (Mythic only): The Mythic Storm King can summon Mini-Bosses, always a Smasher.
- Summon The Storm (Mythic only): The Storm King summons a shrinking Storm Circle that damages players in The Storm. Eliminating a Mini-Boss expands the safe zone.
Defeating the Storm King[]
The Storm King has 4 Crystal spawn points:
- One on his left elbow.
- One on his right elbow.
- One on his chest.
- One on his back.
After the 3 crystals are destroyed, you and your team will need to build towards any horn of the Storm King and pickaxe it. Once one horn is broken, all 4 crystal spawns will regenerate, prompting you to destroy them again. The Crystals will be more harder to destroy because the Storm King will be much more aggressive towards the player and more Monsters will spawn to serve as a distraction.
Once the final Horn is broken, the Storm King will be very vulnerable, and can take damage from anywhere in his body. After defeating the Storm King, the cube that kept him alive will drop into a pool of water and dissolve. The Mission will complete upon the cube completely.
Tips[]
- The most suitable setup would consist of 3 Ninja players and 1 Soldier. (In a 4 player squad)
- You want to have 1 Sniper Rifle, 1 Rocket Launcher, 1 Melee weapon for each time.
- Your primary healing source will be Cozy Campfire.
- Avoid using Wood because of the low hit points value, it will get easily destroyed by the Meteors.
- Communication is crucial to succeed with the battle, make sure you are informing your teammates about the Beam, Mini Boss spawns or the Crystal position.
- You can not self-revive during battle. If all players are downed, the mission will fail.
- Playing with a full team is recommended, but not required (you can play as a single player, but very challenging).
- If you can not find teammates to help fight the Storm King, use Play with Others or set your privacy settings to Public.
- You can do Canny Valley Storm Shield Defense 6 before fighting the Storm King to enable 4-Star evolutions for weapons and survivors, making it easier to fight the Storm King.
Battle Royale[]
Fortnitemares 2019[]
In Chapter 2: Season 1, a mode called Storm King was released for Fortnitemares of 2019. In this LTM, you would drop either to a nearby named or unnamed location. The storm would close in quickly, so you had to move fast if you didn't land on the Isle Of The Storm or the middle island. Then, you would have to defeat the Storm King by destroying all of his weak spots. After destroying his weak spots, you have to shoot him in the horns until his health bar is empty. Then you would be rewarded with a couple of battle medals and a new umbrella.
Rift Tour 2021[]
In Chapter 2: Season 7, the Storm King could have been seen in Phase 3 of the Rift Tour event. Players would shoot at a reincarnation of the Storm King, and would gain points by shooting the crystals on its body, nearby crystals around the map, and scattered Emoting Cube Monsters.

Lore[]
The Storm Kings are the main antagonists of Fortnite: Save the World that caused the global Storm which turned nearly all of the world population into Husk Monsters. They are the humanoid form of Cubes that crashed on STW world along with purple motherships.
History[]
The Storm Kings were sent by The Last Reality to invade the Save the World Reality by creating The Storm.
The Storm King is first mentioned by Homebase in the Stonewood Storyline, when Lars encounters one of them while in his van.
In the Reverse Tinfoil Hats Quest, it is revealed that The Storm King has started to deploy a mind control scheme on Homebase. His plan is foiled shortly after, but the dread on the survivors remained for some time. The Alpha Rift at the end of Canny Valley is finally revealed and a stable Beta Rift is used to enter the other side of the portal: The Storm, where the Storm King is defeated by the Homebase.
Meanwhile, Desiree stays behind after it is defeated and blows up the portal using a Singularity Pulse Bomb while in the Storm Realm, leading to her sacrifice. The Storm King leaves behind his heart, The Cube as it sinks into the pool in the center of the map. The Cube escaped in an unknown manner and returned to STW's world where he was discovered by Lok. At the end of Lok' Tales of Beyond questline, it appears and gives Homebase a cryptic warning: "THE SIX SIDES OF CHANCE CAN TURN IN AN INSTANT. THE DIE IS CAST."
After The Timeline was broken in during The Long Road Home quests and that Ray disappeared over time, Commander and Director Riggs looked for a way to fix it in The Timeless questlines, unfortunately without success: the only solution was to destroy it before endangering the multiverse. But Ray who had traveled through time finally made a pact with The Cube to repair the timeline in exchange for something. A few seconds after the timeline collapsed on itself and that everyone ceased to exist The Cube partially restored it and explained to Homebase that it is necessary to perform 4 Dark Rituals to restore it completely but it was also a trick to help him regain all of his powers.
After the completion of the rituals, the timeline was repaired and the Storm King resurrected and wished revenge. He found refuge in Twine Peaks, where he strengthened his powers. Later an anomalous energy spike signals to Homebase the resurrection of the Storm King who was on rampage at Twine Peaks. He has become even more powerful than before, even more powerful to be now named Mythic Storm King. After a fight even harder than before, he was finally defeated once again. Just like in Canny Valley, he left behind The Cube. However according to Ray, all the remaining Storm Kings headed toward Homebase.
Battle Royale[]
During Fortnitemares in Chapter 2: Season 1, a Storm King appeared in Eye Land, corrupting the center island. This Storm King was defeated by Loopers, restoring Eye Land in the process. Later during the Rift Tour event in Chapter 2: Season 7, the Loopers fight another Storm King in his own dimension.Trivia[]
- The Storm King was introduced in Update v7.00.
- If you defeated him before January 1st, 2019, Epic Games would send you a free Storm King Pin.
- His horns resemble the The Cube Queen's crown, supporting the connection to The Last Reality.
- Instead of letting the Save The World Timeline be annihilated and him with it, he preferred to help Homebase restore it so he could take revenge on them himself.
- Storm King demonstrates greater intelligence and powers that the other Corruption Cubes lack, this is likely due to the amount of energy he possesses compared to the others.
- The only other cubes known to have demonstrated powers and intelligence close to the Storm King were Kevin and his version of the alternate timeline, able to create tornadoes to fly and summon their own monsters without bringing in those of the Sideways, their corruption was also different from their counterparts.
