The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A strategic challenge with rewarding prizes!
This tactical RPG-style event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, might initially appear complex, but its mechanics are surprisingly straightforward. The event offers substantial rewards, including Primogems, making it a worthwhile endeavor. Here's a guide to participation and rewards.
Event Entry Requirements:
To participate, 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 tutorial explanations. Here's a summary:
Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have varying types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with type-based advantages (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Study your opponent's lineup beforehand. Adjust your lineup using the bottom-right diagram, but remember that changes cost Reinforcement Points.
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.
Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the main game.
Even losses earn Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning yields more medals.
