Exercise Surging Storm: Event Requirements

To participate in the Exercise Surging Storm event, you'll need to meet these simple requirements:

• Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.
• Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.

Once you've met these requirements, head to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt to begin the event.

How to Play Exercise Surging Storm

The event starts with helpful tutorials, guiding you through the mechanics. Don't worry if it seems daunting at first; it's easier than it looks! Here's the lowdown:

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

Study your opponent's lineup beforehand! Preview their units and adjust your own using the bottom-right diagram (showing unit effectiveness). Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points—use them wisely.

Here's a quick unit breakdown:

• 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 your units significantly boosts their effectiveness. Selecting the same unit for consecutive rounds levels it up. You can also refresh your Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Don't forget—Elemental Reactions work here just like in the overworld!

Even if you lose, you still earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Winning earns more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
