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 offers a wealth of Primogems and other valuable rewards. Here's your complete 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 starts with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated; it's easier than it seems!
Before each wargame, select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have diverse types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Unit Types Explained:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, slow speed.
- 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 by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Remember, Elemental Reactions are crucial for maximizing damage!
Even losses earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
