The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A rewarding tactical challenge.
This tactical RPG-style event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, might initially appear complex, but its mechanics are surprisingly straightforward. The generous rewards, including Primogems, make it a worthwhile endeavor. Here's a guide to participation and the rewards on offer.
Event Entry Requirements:
To join the Exercise Surging Storm event, you'll need:
- Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
- Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin the event at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Gameplay Overview:
The event starts with tutorial missions explaining the mechanics. Here's a simplified breakdown:
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your 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 diagram. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Unit Types:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, slow speed.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
- Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.
Level up units for increased effectiveness by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the overworld; utilize them strategically.
Even losses yield Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning grants more medals, but consistent participation ensures reward acquisition, albeit at a slower rate.
