by Lucy Feb 08,2025

Dive into the strategic depths of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event, a key part of Version 5.2's second phase! While initially appearing complex, this tactical RPG-style event is surprisingly straightforward and offers a bounty of Primogems and other valuable rewards. Let's explore how to participate and maximize your gains.

Event Entry Requirements:

To join the fray, you'll need:

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

Begin your journey at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.

Gameplay Mechanics:

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

Before each wargame, select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have varying types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with specific counters (e.g., Melee excels against Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.

Unit Roles:

  • 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 certain damage types.

Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Remember, Elemental Reactions work as they do in the main game – leverage them strategically!

Even losses earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.

Reward Breakdown:

The event generously rewards players with Primogems, Hero's Wit, Character Talent Materials, and Mora. Here's a comprehensive list based on accumulated Wargame Medals:
