Dive into the strategic depth 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.
Start your journey at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The event features helpful tutorials, but here's a concise overview:
Before each wargame, select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Adjusting your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so plan carefully.
Unit types:
- Melee: High damage absorption, slow speed.
- Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG: Damages multiple units.
- Flying: Evades ground attacks.
Level up units for increased effectiveness by re-selecting them. Refresh units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions play a crucial role – strategize accordingly.
Winning grants more Wargame Medals, but even losses contribute to your reward accumulation. Consistent participation ensures you'll earn rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
