Exercise Surging Storm: Gameplay Mechanics

The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's the core gameplay:

  1. Unit & Stratagem Selection: Before each wargame, choose your Combat Units (troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have diverse types (AoE, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with specific counters (e.g., Melee excels against Ranged).

Exercise Surging Storm Preparation

  1. Opponent Analysis & Strategic Adjustments: Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust your units accordingly using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points – use them wisely!

  2. Unit Roles:

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

Exercise Surging Storm Battle

  1. Unit Upgrades & Elemental Reactions: Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh units and stratagems for better options. Utilize Elemental Reactions strategically for maximum impact.

  2. Reward System: Even losses earn Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Wins yield more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower pace.
