Xûr's show again, the second session. The storm as self-description is the Guardian's operational mode — not the reactive responder to threats but the proactive force that shapes the engagement before the enemy can. Leading storms is the experienced Guardian's playstyle: the encounter entered with a plan, the damage phase prepared before the mechanics complete, the boss fight begun before the boss understands what it is facing. The Dares format accommodates this with its randomized encounters, asking whether the storm can be led regardless of what the dice produce.
