Genshin Impact's 'Surging Storm' Event Guide
The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event: A strategic challenge with rewarding prizes!
This tactical RPG-style event, part of Version 5.2's second phase, might initially seem complex, but it's surprisingly straightforward once you understand the mechanics. The generous rewards, including Primogems, make it a worthwhile endeavor. Here's a guide to participation and the rewards you can claim.
Event Participation Requirements:
To join the Exercise Surging Storm event, you need:
- Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
- Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin the event by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.

Gameplay Overview:
The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's a simplified explanation:
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 accordingly using the bottom-right diagram. Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.
Unit Types:
- 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.

Level up units to enhance their 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; use them strategically.
Even losses earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning yields more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
