Dive into the tactical fun of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event! This limited-time event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, offers a rewarding strategic challenge with plentiful Primogems up for grabs. Don't let the initial complexity fool you – once you grasp the mechanics, it's a surprisingly straightforward and enjoyable experience.
Event Entry Requirements:
To participate in Exercise Surging Storm, you'll need:
- Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
- Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin your strategic journey at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Gameplay Overview:
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's the core gameplay:
- Unit & Stratagem Selection: Before each wargame, choose your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have different types (AoE, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with specific counters (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
-
Opponent Analysis & Lineup Adjustment: Preview your opponent's units and adjust your lineup accordingly using the bottom-right diagram. Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
-
Unit Types:
- Melee: High damage absorption, low speed.
- Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG: Damages multiple units.
- Flying: Avoids ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.
-
Unit Upgrades & Refreshing: Level up units by selecting the same type for consecutive rounds. You can also refresh your units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions play a crucial role, so plan your team compositions effectively.
-
Reward System: Earn Wargame Medals whether you win or lose. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
