The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A tactical RPG challenge with rewarding prizes!
This event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, initially appears complex due to its multifaceted mechanics. However, this tactical RPG-style event is surprisingly straightforward once you grasp the core concepts. With plentiful rewards including Primogems, it's a worthwhile endeavor. Let's explore how to participate and the rewards awaiting you.
Event Participation Requirements
To join the Exercise Surging Storm, ensure you meet these prerequisites:
- Reach Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin the event by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt, the game's first region.
Gameplay Overview
The event starts with tutorials explaining the mechanics. Don't be intimidated; it's easier than it seems. Here's a concise summary:
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have various types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup before the battle. Preview their units and adjust your team using the bottom-right diagram indicating unit effectiveness. Remember, lineup changes cost Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Understanding Unit Roles:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, low speed.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
- Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to specific damage types.
Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Use the same unit repeatedly to level it up. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld; utilize elemental strategies for optimal results.
Even losses earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Wins yield more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
