Surging Storm: Latest Event Challenges in Genshin Impact

Dive into the strategic depths of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event, a key part of Version 5.2's second phase! While initially appearing complex, this tactical RPG-style event is surprisingly straightforward and offers a bounty of Primogems and other valuable rewards. Let's explore how to participate and maximize your gains.

Exercise Surging Storm: Entry Requirements

To join the fray, ensure you meet these prerequisites:

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

Begin your strategic campaign by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.

Mastering the Art of Wargame

The event starts with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated; the mechanics are easier than they initially seem. Here's a simplified guide:

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

Study your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness, allowing strategic counter-selection. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so plan wisely.

Key Unit Roles:

• Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow.
• Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, but 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. Deploying the same unit repeatedly levels it up. Refreshing Combat Units and Stratagems provides alternative options. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld—strategize accordingly.

Don't let losses discourage you! Even defeats earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Victories yield more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.

Reap the Rewards!

The rewards are plentiful! Earn Primogems, Hero's Wit, Character Talent Materials, and Mora. Here's the reward breakdown based on accumulated Wargame Medals:

Don't miss out! The Exercise Surging Storm event runs from December 18th to December 30th (3:59 server time) in Genshin Impact Version 5.2. Claim your rewards before the event concludes!
