Dive into the strategic depths 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 bounty of Primogems and other valuable rewards. Let's explore how to participate and maximize your gains.
Event Entry Requirements:
To join the fray, you'll need:
- Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
- Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin your journey at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's a simplified overview:
Before each wargame, strategically select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have varying types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with specific strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust yours accordingly using the bottom-right diagram. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so plan wisely.
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.
Level up your units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh your units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game, so utilize them strategically.
Even losses earn you Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
