Gameplay Overview:

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

Before each wargame, select Combat Units (your troops) and Stratagems (buffs/power-ups). Units have various types (AoE Damage, Flying, Ranged, Melee), each with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged). Study your opponent's lineup; the bottom-right diagram shows unit effectiveness. Changing your lineup consumes Reinforcement Points – use them strategically.

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.

Leveling up units enhances their effectiveness. Repeat unit selection for the next round to level them up. Refresh Combat Units and Stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions function as they do in the main game; leverage them for optimal results.

Winning grants more Wargame Medals, but even losses earn medals. Consistent participation guarantees rewards, though at a slower rate.
