Gameplay Mechanics:

The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's a simplified guide:

Before each wargame, select Combat Units and Stratagems (buffs). Units have diverse types (AoE, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust yours accordingly using the bottom-right effectiveness diagram. Remember, changing your units consumes Reinforcement Points – use them strategically!

Unit types explained:

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

Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh your units and Stratagems for optimal choices. Elemental Reactions work as expected, so plan accordingly.

Winning grants more Wargame Medals, but even losses contribute to your reward total. Consistent participation ensures you'll earn rewards, albeit at a slower rate.
