Gameplay Overview:

The event features intuitive tutorials. Here's a simplified breakdown:

Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units have varying types (AoE, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with specific counters (e.g., Melee excels against Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust your units using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so strategize carefully.

Unit types explained:

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

Level up units for increased effectiveness by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as in the overworld; utilize them strategically.

Winning grants more Wargame Medals, but even losses contribute to your medal count. Consistent participation guarantees rewards, albeit at a slower rate.
