Dive into the tactical fun of Genshin Impact's Exercise Surging Storm event!

Mastering the Art of Wargames

The event opens with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated – it's easier than it looks! Here's the gist:

Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have various 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 effectiveness indicators. Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully!

Understanding unit roles is key:

  • Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow.
  • Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, but low health.
  • AoE DMG Units: Damage multiple units simultaneously.
  • Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to certain damage types.

Leveling up units enhances their performance. Use the same unit repeatedly to level it up. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions work as they do in the main game – use them strategically!

Don't worry about losing! You earn Wargame Medals regardless of victory, accumulating towards rewards. Winning earns more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower rate.
