Dive into the tactical Genshin Impact event, "Exercise Surging Storm," part of Version 5.2's second phase! While initially appearing complex, this strategic RPG-style event is surprisingly straightforward and offers bountiful rewards, including Primogems. Here's your guide to participation and the prizes awaiting you.
Exercise Surging Storm: Entry Requirements
To join the fray:
- Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
- Begin the event at 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 overview:
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have varying types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand. You can preview their units and adjust your team using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Remember, lineup changes cost Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Understanding unit roles is key:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, slow movement.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
- Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.
Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Repeat units in subsequent rounds to boost their levels. Refresh available units and stratagems for optimal choices. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game—utilize them strategically.
Even losses earn you Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower rate.
