Dive into the tactical fun of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event! This engaging event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, offers a rewarding strategic challenge with ample Primogems up for grabs. While initially appearing complex, its mechanics are surprisingly straightforward once you grasp the basics. Let's explore how to participate and maximize your rewards.
Event Entry Requirements:
To join the Exercise Surging Storm, you'll need:
- Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
- Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Start your strategic journey by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated; it's simpler than it seems! Here's a concise overview:
Before each wargame, select your Combat Units and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have diverse roles (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust yours accordingly using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Key Unit Roles:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, but 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. Use the same unit repeatedly to level it up. Refresh your units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game; utilize them strategically.
Winning isn't everything! Even losses earn you Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Victories yield more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
