Dive into the strategic depths of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event, a key part of Version 5.2's second phase! While initially appearing complex, this tactical RPG-style event is surprisingly accessible and generously rewards players with Primogems and more. Let's explore how to participate and the rewards awaiting you.
Exercise Surging Storm: Entry Requirements
To join the fray:
- Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin your strategic campaign by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Mastering the Art of Wargame
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated; it's easier than it seems!
Before each wargame, carefully select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units come in various types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses. For example, Melee units excel against Ranged units.
Study your opponent's lineup before deploying your forces. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Unit Roles Explained:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow.
- Ranged Units: Attack from afar, but low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Deal damage to groups of units.
- Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.
Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Deploying the same unit repeatedly levels it up. Refresh available units and stratagems for optimal choices. Remember, Elemental Reactions function as they do in the overworld – use them strategically!
Even losses yield Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning earns more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
