Unlocking the Fun of Exercise Surging Storm in Genshin Impact Version 5.2
Dive into the tactical RPG-style event known as Exercise Surging Storm, a highlight of the second phase of *Genshin Impact* Version 5.2. While the event may initially appear complex due to its intricate mechanics, once you grasp the basics, you'll find it both engaging and rewarding. Not only does it offer a refreshing change from regular gameplay, but it also comes with a bounty of rewards, including the highly sought-after Primogems.
Exercise Surging Storm Start Requirements
To embark on the Exercise Surging Storm adventure, ensure you meet these criteria:
- Attain at least Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Archon Quest Prologue in Mondstadt.
Once you're ready, head to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt, the game's first region, to kick off the event.
How to Play Exercise Surging Storm
The event kicks off with tutorials that might seem daunting at first. Fear not, as the gameplay is more straightforward than it appears. Here's a simplified guide to get you started:
Before engaging in a wargame, you'll select your Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (power-ups or buffs). Units are categorized into types such as AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, and Melee, each with specific strengths and weaknesses. For instance, Melee units excel against Ranged units.
Next, analyze your opponent's lineup. You can preview their units and adjust your strategy accordingly. The icons in the bottom-right diagram will help you understand unit effectiveness. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so strategize wisely.
Understanding unit roles is crucial:
- Melee Units: They can take heavy damage but move slowly.
- Ranged Units: They attack from a distance but have lower health.
- AoE DMG Units: Effective against grouped enemies.
- Flying Units: Immune to ground attacks, offering strategic advantages.
Leveling up your units enhances their performance. You can do this by selecting the same troop for consecutive rounds. Additionally, you can refresh your available Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Don't forget, Elemental Reactions play a role here, just as they do in the overworld, so plan your strategies around unit elements for optimal results.
Even if you don't win every round, you'll still earn Wargame Medals, which you can accumulate for rewards. Winning grants more medals, but consistent participation ensures you can still claim rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
