The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A tactical RPG challenge with rewarding prizes!

This event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, might initially appear complex, but its tactical RPG gameplay is surprisingly accessible. The generous rewards, including Primogems, make it a worthwhile endeavor. Here's a guide to participation and the rewards you can claim.

Event Entry Requirements:

To participate in Exercise Surging Storm, you need:

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

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event includes helpful tutorials. Here's a simplified overview:

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

Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.

Unit types explained:

  • Melee Units: High damage absorption, slow speed.
  • Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG Units: Damages multiple units simultaneously.
  • Flying Units: Immune to certain ground attacks.

Level up units to increase effectiveness by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. You can refresh units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the main game, so factor them into your strategy.

Even losses earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.

Rewards:

Earn Primogems, Hero's Wit, Character Talent Materials, and more! Here's a breakdown based on accumulated Wargame Medals:
