Dive into the strategic depths of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event, a rewarding tactical RPG experience within Version 5.2's second phase. While initially appearing complex, this event boasts straightforward gameplay and lucrative rewards, including Primogems, making it a must-do for all players.
Event Entry Requirements:
To participate in Exercise Surging Storm, you 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 Mechanics:
The event opens with intuitive tutorials. Here's a simplified breakdown:
Before each wargame, select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have varying types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust yours using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Remember, lineup changes cost Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Unit types explained:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, low speed.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
- Flying Units: Immune to ground attacks.
Level up units for increased effectiveness by re-selecting them in subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the main game; utilize them strategically.
Winning grants more Wargame Medals, but even losses contribute towards rewards. Consistent participation ensures reward acquisition, albeit at a slower pace.
