Dive into the strategic depth 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 wealth 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 core mechanics are easier than they seem. Here's a concise overview:

Before each wargame, strategically select your Combat Units and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units are categorized (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, allowing for strategic counter-selection. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so plan carefully.

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 certain damage types.

Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Use the same unit repeatedly to boost its level. Refresh your Combat Units and Stratagems for optimal choices. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game, so leverage elemental advantages.

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