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 mechanics become intuitive with practice. 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 join the Exercise Surging Storm event, you'll need:

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

Start your event journey at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.

Gameplay Mechanics:

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

Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have different 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, low speed.
  • Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
  • Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.

Level up units for increased effectiveness by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game; use them strategically.

Winning isn't essential! Even losses earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Wins yield more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.

Event Rewards:

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