The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A strategic battle for rewards!
This tactical RPG-style event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, might initially appear complex, but it's surprisingly straightforward. With numerous mechanics and valuable Primogem rewards, it's a must-do for any player. Here's how to participate and what awaits you.
Event Entry Requirements:
To join the fray, you need:
Begin your strategic journey at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.
Gameplay Overview:
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated; it's simpler than it seems. Here's the gist:
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).
Study your opponent's lineup beforehand! The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Changing your lineup uses Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Understanding unit roles is key:
Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Use the same unit repeatedly to level it up. You can also refresh units and stratagems for better options. Remember, Elemental Reactions work as they do in the overworld!
Even losses earn you Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
Reward Breakdown:
The rewards are plentiful: Primogems, Hero’s Wit, Character Talent Materials, and more!
