Genshin Impact's Operation Downpour Simulation event in Version 5.6 adds a welcome touch of strategy to the typical combat-focused gameplay. The highlight is the Confrontation Scenario, a competitive mode where brains, not brawn, are the order of the day.
From now until June 3, 2025, the event challenges players against each other in a tabletop-style battle that mingles base defense with strategic offense. Here's how you can take over this mode with clever planning and strategically placed units.
The Game Mode and Strategies
The Confrontation Scenario turns Genshin's verdant world into a virtual war board. You have two missions:
Construct a solid defense to keep out enemy incursions.
Create a relentless attack to break through your opponent's configuration.
Most importantly, once you've set your offensive roster prior to a fight, you can't modify it mid-match—so strategy counts.

Scoring & Rewards
Don't panic if you don't win all matches. Genshin Impact provides rewards for stick-to-itiveness and effort.
You only need to accumulate 5,000 points in order to reach all the rewards of the event. You earn points even when you lose, so every match helps. After you reach all rewards, you can still replay for entertainment or to maximize your score and strategy.
Offensive Tactics
Triumph usually depends on taking advantage of the correct unit synergies:
Employ the high-HP Lava Avatar as a shield. As it absorbs damage, your Grenadiers can nibble away at critical defenses in relative safety from behind.
Graders are ideal tanks. Place your delicate yet high-range Samachurls in their rear to cancel out danger such as the Suppression Specialist Mek, which otherwise annihilates airborne units.
Wonderful for managing space and disrupting enemy pushes. While Spectres immobilize or slow, Mimics break and distract.
Having varied units with multiple copies of good ones—that is, instead of being too spread out can overwhelm even the best defended compositions.

Defence Layout
When building your base defence, note that surprise is on your side. Position Mek units strategically to cut off common attack paths. Target locations where enemy players tend to send ranged units such as Samachurls or Grenadiers.
Also, don't group units with the same vulnerabilities. For example, if your defense is overdependent on airborne enemies, a well-positioned Suppression Specialist will destroy your whole formation.
