Dive into the tactical fun of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event, part of Version 5.2's second phase! This event, while initially appearing complex, offers a rewarding strategic experience with plenty of Primogems up for grabs. Let's explore how to participate and maximize your rewards.

Mastering the Art of Wargame

The event starts with helpful tutorials. Don't let the initial complexity intimidate you; it's easier than it seems. Here's the lowdown:

Before each wargame, select your Combat Units and Stratagems (buffs). 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 helps you counter their units, but remember that changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points – use them strategically!

Unit roles are key:

  • Melee Units: High damage absorption, slow speed.
  • Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG Units: Damages groups of units.
  • Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.

Leveling up units increases their effectiveness. Use the same unit repeatedly to level it up. You can refresh your unit and stratagem options for better choices. Elemental Reactions work as expected, so strategize accordingly.

Even losses earn you Wargame Medals, which accumulate towards rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation ensures you'll still get rewards.

The rewards are well worth the effort! Earn Primogems, Hero's Wit, Character Talent Materials, and more. Here's a breakdown of the rewards based on accumulated Wargame Medals:
