Genshin Impact Exercise Surging Storm Event Guide and Rewards

By LucasFeb 21,2025

Dive into the strategic depth 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 is surprisingly straightforward and generously rewards players with Primogems and other valuable items.

Event Access Requirements:

To participate, ensure you've reached Adventure Rank 20 and completed the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. Begin your strategic campaign by visiting the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event features intuitive tutorials. Before each wargame, strategically select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with specific counters (e.g., Melee excels against Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup beforehand. The bottom-right diagram helps assess unit effectiveness. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so plan carefully.

Unit types include:

  • 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 certain damage types.

Level up units for enhanced effectiveness by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the main game, so leverage elemental advantages.

Even losses yield Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning earns more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower rate.

Reward Breakdown:

The event offers a wealth of rewards, including Primogems, Hero's Wit, Character Talent Materials, and Mora. The following table details the rewards based on accumulated Wargame Medals:
