Author : Connor Update : Mar 05,2025

The Genshin Impact Version 5.2 Exercise Surging Storm event, a tactical RPG-style challenge, offers substantial rewards including Primogems. While initially appearing complex, the event's mechanics are easily mastered. Here's a guide to participation and rewards.

Event Entry Requirements:

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

Begin the event at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.

Gameplay:

The event features tutorials. Before each wargame, select Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Unit types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee) have strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged). Study opponent lineups and strategically adjust yours, mindful that changing units consumes Reinforcement Points.

Unit Roles:

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

Level up units by re-selecting them in subsequent rounds. Refresh units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the main game. Even losses yield Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning grants more medals.

Rewards:

Wargame Medals are exchanged for Primogems, Hero's Wit, Character Talent Materials, and Mora. Additional rewards are earned by meeting specific challenge criteria (e.g., winning a certain number of rounds, upgrading units to specific ranks, drawing specific unit classes).
