Genshin Impact: Surging Storm Event Guide

The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A tactical RPG challenge with rewarding prizes. This second-phase event, while initially appearing complex, is surprisingly straightforward once you grasp its mechanics. The plentiful Primogem rewards make it a worthwhile endeavor. Here's a guide to participation and the rewards on offer.

Event Entry Requirements:

To participate in Exercise Surging Storm, 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 tutorials explaining the mechanics. Don't be intimidated; it's simpler than it seems. Here's a summary:

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

Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust yours using the bottom-right diagram. Remember, changing your lineup costs 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: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
• Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to specific damage types.

Upgrade units to increase effectiveness by selecting the same unit for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the overworld; leverage them strategically.

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

Rewards:

The event offers Primogems, Hero’s Wit, Character Talent Materials, and more. Here's a breakdown of rewards based on accumulated Wargame Medals:

The Exercise Surging Storm event runs from December 18 to December 30 (3:59 server time) in Genshin Impact Version 5.2. Don't miss out on these rewards!
