-*[[Death Form]]: Storm Form deals more damage and has [[cleaving]]. Death Form is arguably better against lone opponents, due to the irresistible [[slow]]ness it adds to your melee attacks. Death Form also allows all armour slots, allows [[Throwing]], and has innate resistances of its own. However, it prevents potion use. Thus, the comparison depends on where you are.

 **In the extended game, Death Form should be the go-to due to its crucial [[torment]] resistance. Storm Form does have a niche - if your character isn't strong enough to fight in Death Form, you may want this one.

 Storm Form is the highest damage form in the game. Shapeshifting specialists can inflict immense damage per hit, much stronger than even an [[executioner's axe]].
-This form is surprisingly durable. You retain your natural EV, and gain bonuses to both EV and AC. Even though Dragon Form has 150% health, because it is [[Size#Giant|giant]], it loses EV; that hurts when your only defensive skills are [[Fighting]] and [[Dodging]]. Dragon Form is usually more durable in the end, but Storm Form isn't far behind.

 *[[Dragon Form]]: Dragon Form has no cleaving, but has similar offense (due to +10 strength & [[aux attack]]s) and defense. More importantly, it takes less skill. Being a dragon is usually enough to handle [[orbs of fire]], and if you can do that, you can win a 3-rune game. Thus, Dragon Form allows you to invest XP into other skills (without lacking in power).
