Gameplay Mechanics:

The event features intuitive tutorials to guide you through the mechanics. Here's the gist:

Before each wargame, select your Combat Units and Stratagems (buffs). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust your strategy using the unit effectiveness diagram (bottom-right). Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points – use them judiciously!

Unit types explained:

  • 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.

Upgrade units to enhance their effectiveness by selecting the same unit for subsequent rounds. Refresh your units and Stratagems for optimal choices. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game – strategize accordingly!

Winning isn't everything! Even losses earn you Wargame Medals, accumulating towards rewards. Victories yield more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower rate.

The rewards are plentiful, including Primogems, Hero’s Wit, Character Talent Materials, and Mora. Here's the reward breakdown based on accumulated Wargame Medals:
