The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A strategic challenge with rewarding prizes! This tactical RPG-style event, part of the second phase of Version 5.2, might initially appear complex, but its mechanics are surprisingly straightforward. With valuable rewards including Primogems, it's definitely worth your time.
Event Entry Requirements:
To participate in Exercise Surging Storm, you 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 helpful tutorials. Here's a simplified explanation:
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have different types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust your units accordingly using the bottom-right diagram. Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Unit types explained:
- 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.
Upgrade units to increase effectiveness by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions work as in the main game – use them strategically!
Winning earns more Wargame Medals, but even losses contribute to your medal count, ensuring you still receive rewards, albeit at a slower rate.
