Dive into the strategic depths of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event, a captivating tactical RPG challenge within Version 5.2's second phase. While initially appearing complex, its mechanics are surprisingly straightforward, rewarding players handsomely with Primogems and other valuable resources. Here's your comprehensive guide to participation and rewards.
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 unfolds with intuitive tutorials. Here's a simplified breakdown:
Before each wargame, strategically select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram highlights unit effectiveness, allowing strategic counter-selection. Remember, lineup changes consume Reinforcement Points – use them judiciously!
Unit Roles Explained:
- 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 specific damage types.
Level up units for increased effectiveness by re-selecting them in subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for optimal choices. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld – leverage them strategically.
Even defeat earns Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Victories yield more medals, but consistent participation guarantees reward acquisition, albeit at a slower pace.
