The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event, part of phase two, offers a strategic, rewarding experience despite its initially complex appearance. This tactical RPG-style event provides ample Primogems and other valuable rewards, making it a worthwhile endeavor. Here's a guide to participation and rewards.
Exercise Surging Storm: Entry Requirements
To join the event:
- Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
- Begin the event at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Gameplay Overview
The event features introductory tutorials. Here's a simplified explanation:
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have various 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. Note that lineup changes cost Reinforcement Points.
Unit types explained:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, slow speed.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple grouped units.
- Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.
Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld.
Winning grants more Wargame Medals, but even losses yield medals. Consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower rate.
