Genshin Impact: Stormy Shoals Event Unveils Rewards and Guide
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 offers generous rewards, including Primogems, making it a worthwhile endeavor. Let's explore how to participate and the rewards awaiting you.
Exercise Surging Storm: Event Entry Requirements
To join the fray:
- Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
Begin your strategic campaign by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt, the game's initial region.
Mastering the Art of Wargame Warfare
The event unfolds with helpful tutorials. Don't be intimidated; the mechanics are simpler than they initially seem. Here's a concise overview:
Before each wargame, select your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).
Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness, allowing strategic adjustments. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so plan carefully.
Key Unit Roles:
- Melee Units: High damage absorption, but slow movement.
- Ranged Units: Long-range attacks, but low health.
- AoE DMG Units: Deal damage to groups of units.
- Flying Units: Evade ground attacks, immune to specific damage types.
Upgrade units to enhance their effectiveness. Repeating units in subsequent rounds levels them up. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the overworld; leverage them strategically.
Even defeats yield Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning earns more medals, but consistent participation ensures reward acquisition, albeit at a slower rate.
