How to unlock the Operation Downpour Simulation Event in Genshin Impact
The first task is to go to Romaritime Harbor at the start of Fontaine and speak with Turenna. She will then ask you to take part in the new war game that she and Enghiene have developed, which is, of course, part of the Operation Downpour Simulation Event.
You'll have to be at least Adventure Rank 20+ and must have completed the Archon Quest Prologue - Act 3.
How to play the Operation Downpour Simulation Event in Genshin Impact
The event works like any typical war game; you'll have to strategically pick your pieces and deploy them on the battlefield. Each piece has different deployment patterns and traits, and they will lock onto targets based on their own traits. This is important to keep in mind during deployment.
Before discussing the win condition, let's take a look at the currently available stages and the enemy formations to expect.
| Stage Name | Enemies | Player Units |
|---|---|---|
| Frontline Formation (S-1) | 2 Cryo Whopperflower | 2 Hilichurl Fighter 2 Electro Samachurl |
| Thrust and Volley Combined (S-2) | 2 Large Hydro Slime 2 Treasure Hoarders - Pyro Potioneer |
2 Ruin Guard 2 Hilichurl Grenadier |
| Siege Strategies (S-3) | 2 Frostarm Lawachurl 2 Treasure Hoarders - Pyro Potioneer |
2 Ruin Guard 1 Electro Samachurl 3 Cryo Specter |
| Studies in Momentum (S-4) | Suppression Specialist Mek 3 Cryo Whopperflower |
2 Hilichurl Fighter 1 Electro Cicin 3 Eroding Avatar of Lava |
The win condition is fulfilled by either defeating the defending formation or by having more progress against your opponents. Always make sure to deploy carefully based on the traits of your character to increase the chances of your success.
Once we have more information about the next stages, they will be updated on this guide.
