The Exercise Surging Storm Event in Genshin Impact Version 5.2

Dive into the thrilling world of *Genshin Impact* with the Exercise Surging Storm event, a tactical RPG-style challenge introduced in the second phase of Version 5.2. While it may seem intricate at first due to its multiple mechanics, once you understand the basics, you'll find it engaging and rewarding. The event is packed with lucrative rewards, including Primogems, making it an essential part of your Genshin journey. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to participate and what you can expect to win.

Exercise Surging Storm Start Requirements

To embark on this event, ensure you meet these criteria:

  • Reach at least Adventure Rank 20.
  • Complete the Archon Quest Prologue in Mondstadt.

Once you're ready, head to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt, the game's first region, to kickstart your adventure.

How to Play Exercise Surging Storm

The event kicks off with tutorials that introduce you to its mechanics. Though they might appear complex, the event is simpler than it seems. Here's a straightforward guide:

Before engaging in a wargame, you'll select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (power-ups or buffs). Units are categorized into types such as AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, and Melee, each countering specific others. For instance, Melee units have an advantage over Ranged units.

Next, analyze your opponent's lineup. You can preview their units and adjust your strategy accordingly using the effectiveness indicators in the bottom-right diagram. Remember, changing your lineup requires Reinforcement Points, so strategize wisely.

Understanding the roles of your units is crucial:

  • Melee Units: They withstand heavy damage but move slowly.
  • Ranged Units: Attack from a distance but have low health.
  • AoE DMG Units: Effective against grouped enemies.
  • Flying Units: Immune to ground attacks, making them versatile in combat.

Leveling up your units enhances their performance. You can do this by selecting the same troop for consecutive rounds. Additionally, refreshing your available Combat Units and Stratagems can provide better options. Just like in the overworld, Elemental Reactions play a significant role, so tailor your strategies around unit elements for optimal results.

If you're struggling to secure victories, don't fret. Even losses earn you Wargame Medals, which accumulate towards your rewards. Winning, of course, yields more medals, but consistent participation ensures you'll still claim rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
