Exercise Surging Storm Strategy Points
Take Note Of The Weaknesses Of The Party
In this event, after sending your party on battle, you will not be able to control anything. So most of the fighting chance that you can do is during the character selection. Selecting the type wherein the enemy player is weak at will increase the chance of winning so make sure to mind the type of the soldiers you will use.
You Might Get Stuck If You Focused On One Type
If you focus on one specific type, you will likely face problems when facing the weakness of that type. If you want to reach 10 rounds (you cannot lose more than 4 times), using multiple type of soldiers is recommended.
Focus On Soldier's Strength
Selecting the same monster from the selection can raise their level up to 3 star rarity. The 3 star rarity increases the level and durability of the soldier making them more valuable. Make sure to remember which soldier you chose from the selection and pick the similar ones. Select those at 3 Stars as part of your line-up.
Rank Up Conditions

Each soldier has a bronze, silver and gold background. Card with gold background has a powerful effect with huge AoE. Selecting those soldiers will increase your chance of winning.
Select Party Based On Strategem Used
You will encounter Strategem constantly as you go through waves of battle. It is recommended to select the soldiers depending on what type of Strategem you picked beforehand.
You Can Just Opt To Brute Force The Event
