Dive into the tactical Genshin Impact event, "Exercise Surging Storm," part of Version 5.2's second phase! While initially appearing complex, this engaging RPG-style event is surprisingly straightforward and offers generous rewards, including Primogems. Here's your guide to participation and the prizes awaiting you.
Exercise Surging Storm: Entry Requirements
To join the fray:
- Reach Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin your strategic battles by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Mastering Exercise Surging Storm Gameplay
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated – it's easier than it seems! Here's a simplified breakdown:
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have various types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup before the battle. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points – use them judiciously.
Understanding unit roles is key:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, but low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
- Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, resistant to specific damage types.
Leveling up units increases their effectiveness. Use the same unit repeatedly to level it up. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions work as in the main game – strategize accordingly.
Even losses earn Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
