Gameplay Mechanics:

The event features tutorials. Here's a simplified overview:

Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have various types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with type-based advantages (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).

Review your opponent's lineup and adjust yours using the bottom-right diagram (Reinforcement Points are consumed for changes).

Unit types:

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

Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld.

Even losses yield Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning earns more medals, but consistent participation guarantees rewards.

Rewards:

Rewards include Primogems, Hero’s Wit, Character Talent Materials, and Mora.
