Author : Hunter Update : Jan 01,2025

Dive into the tactical fun of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event! This engaging event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, might initially appear complex, but its strategic depth is surprisingly accessible. With generous rewards including Primogems, it's an event you won't want to miss. Let's explore how to participate and the treasures awaiting you.

Getting Started with Exercise Surging Storm

To join the fray, ensure you meet these prerequisites:

  • Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
  • Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.

Begin your strategic journey by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt, the game's initial region.

Mastering the Art of Wargames

The event kicks off with helpful tutorials. Don't let the initial complexity deter you; the gameplay is more intuitive than it seems. Here's a concise overview:

Before each wargame, carefully select your Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/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 you to strategically adjust your team. Remember, lineup changes consume Reinforcement Points, so use them judiciously.

Understanding unit roles is crucial:

  • Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow movement.
  • Ranged Units: Attack from a distance, but low health.
  • AoE DMG Units: Deal damage to groups of enemies.
  • Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, resistant to specific damage types.

Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Deploying the same unit consecutively increases its level. You can also refresh your available units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the main game, so strategic element combinations are key.

Even losses yield Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Victories grant more medals, but consistent participation ensures you still earn rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
