Dive into the strategic depths of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event, a key part of Version 5.2's second phase!

Here's your complete guide to participation and rewards.

Exercise Surging Storm: Entry Requirements

Mastering the Art of Wargame

The event kicks off with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated; it's easier than it seems! Here's a simplified breakdown:

Before each wargame, carefully select your Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs and power-ups). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee excels against Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand! The bottom-right diagram provides unit effectiveness indicators, allowing strategic adjustments. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points – use them judiciously.

Key Unit Roles:

  • Melee: High damage absorption, slow movement.
  • Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG: Damages groups of units.
  • Flying: Evades ground attacks, immune to specific damage types.

Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Deploying the same unit in consecutive rounds boosts its level. Refresh your Combat Units and Stratagems for optimal choices. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the overworld – leverage them strategically!

Even defeat doesn't mean failure! Earn Wargame Medals regardless of victory, accumulating towards rewards. Winning earns more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.

Claim Your Rewards!

The rewards are plentiful! Primogems, Hero's Wit, Character Talent Materials, and Mora await!
