Author : Blake Mar 17,2025

Dive into the strategic depths of the Exercise Surging Storm event, a key part of Genshin Impact Version 5.2's second phase. While initially appearing complex due to its multifaceted mechanics, this tactical RPG-style event is surprisingly straightforward once you grasp the fundamentals. And the rewards? A tempting array of Primogems and other valuable items make it an unmissable opportunity.

Let's explore how to participate and the treasures awaiting you.

Exercise Surging Storm: Event Requirements

To join the Exercise Surging Storm event, ensure you meet these prerequisites:

  • Reach Adventure Rank 20.
  • Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.

Begin your strategic journey by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt, the game's starting region.

Exercise Surging Storm: Gameplay Guide

The event kicks off with helpful tutorials explaining the mechanics. Don't be intimidated—it's simpler than it seems! Here's a concise overview:

Before each wargame, select your Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (power-ups/buffs). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).

Study your opponent's lineup beforehand. Preview their units and adjust your own using the bottom-right diagram indicating unit effectiveness. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.

Understanding unit roles is crucial:

  • Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow.
  • Ranged Units: Attack from a distance, but low health.
  • AoE DMG Units: Deal damage to groups of units.
  • Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.

Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Use the same unit in consecutive rounds to boost their level. Refresh available Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld; leverage them for maximum impact.

Even losses yield Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning grants more medals, but consistent participation ensures reward acquisition, albeit at a slower pace.
