Dive into the strategic depth 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 straightforward and generously rewards players with Primogems and other valuable items. Let's explore how to participate and maximize your rewards.
Exercise Surging Storm: Entry Requirements
To join the fray:
- Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
- Visit the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt to begin.
Gameplay Mechanics: Mastering the Art of War
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's a simplified overview:
- Unit & Stratagem Selection: Before each wargame, choose your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have varied types (AoE, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with specific counters (e.g., Melee excels against Ranged).
-
Opponent Analysis & Lineup Adjustments: Preview your opponent's units and adjust your lineup using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Remember, lineup changes cost Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
-
Unit Roles:
- Melee: High damage absorption, low speed.
- Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG: Damages groups of units.
- Flying: Evades ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.
-
Unit Upgrades & Refreshing: Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh your Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld – leverage them for optimal results.
-
Reward System: Even losses yield Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning grants more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
