Hi, yesterday I posted a guide on how to deal with Sirus storm by waiting him to move. Some don't really like as it's slow, non-interactive, not hc-viable. I started to experimenting new ways and here I present the new way to completely negate Sirus storm using skeletons. As you can see in the video, all you have to do is summon skeleton to the direction you want storm to go when Sirus starts to channel storm, then storm will go chase skeleton. If done properly this will compress all 3 moving storm in 1 place as shown in video.
Why is this better? First of all there is 0 risk doing this, if storm for whatever reason did not chase your skeleton then you can revert back to older method for this storm. Second of all this is hc viable, by compressing all storm in south east side of arena, it's safe to log without bricking the run, ie no chance that storm can block entrance. Third of all, 0 possibility that Sirus gets to stair area, you can literally fight him at same place for all phase.
I would heavily recommend bringing summon skeleton to Sirus fight now. Not only for this storm cheese, but also qol it gives you on the actual fight, ie blocking fireball, distracting die beam.

This is the cleanest I have seen the fight so far. I think the main problem with your previous video where you kited him was that if you somehow died during the encounter, you had a high chance of the encounter being bricked because the entrance would be covered in the storms that aren't kited but pushed towards the entrance.
I have a few question about your skeletons and how effective they can kite the storms. Is this a level 20 gem and do you have any minion HP nodes? I'm playing a life based miner and would be down to trying this strategy but obviously if the minions must have a minimum amount of HP to be able to tank the storm long enough to bring it in the bottom right, that is relevant information.

you need skeleton + increased duration at minimum, link minion health if you can afford

ive never seen inc duration mentioned with skellies. is it really that useful? they just end up dying most of the time, so you can just resummon them, no?

skele can despawn if you put it too early, then you will have to wait for Sirus to float out of storm. Just link increase duration so you don’t have to worry about timing

Thanks! Skeleton summoners have been having the toughest time with this fight, so it's nice of GGG to throw them a bone for once.
