Gameplay Overview:

The event features intuitive tutorials. Before each wargame, strategically select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs). Units are categorized (AoE Damage, 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 diagram. Remember, changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points, so plan carefully.

Unit types:

  • Melee: High damage absorption, slow speed.
  • Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG: Damages groups of units.
  • Flying: Evades ground attacks, immune to specific 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 main game; leverage them strategically.

Winning grants more Wargame Medals, but even losses contribute to your medal count. Consistent participation ensures reward acquisition, albeit at a slower pace.
