Dive into the strategic "Exercise Surging Storm" event, a key part of Genshin Impact's Version 5.2 Phase Two! While initially appearing complex, this tactical RPG-style event is surprisingly straightforward and boasts fantastic rewards, including Primogems. Here's your guide to participation and the prizes awaiting you.
Getting Started with Exercise Surging Storm
To join the fray:
- Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
- Begin the event at 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 looks!
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have various types (AoE, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Study your opponent's lineup and adjust yours using the bottom-right diagram. Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points – use them wisely!
Unit Types Explained:
- Melee: High damage absorption, slow speed.
- Ranged: Attacks from afar, low health.
- AoE DMG: Damages groups of units.
- Flying: Evades ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.
Level up units for increased effectiveness by selecting the same unit for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions work as expected, so strategize accordingly.
Winning earns more Wargame Medals, but even losses contribute to your medal count, ensuring you still receive rewards.
