Freeze the Ruin Grader by using a Cryo and Hydro Character to momentarily stop it from attacking the Pursina's Spikes! Note that when the Ruin Grader is recharged, you won't be able to freeze it anymore.

Lisa | Razor | Fischl |
Beidou | Keqing | Cyno |
Sara | Raiden | Traveler (Electro) |
Shinobu | Dori | Clorinde |
You need to charge the Pursina's Spikes using Electro a couple of times, so bring an Electro Character with you!
Full List of Electro Characters
A good strategy for this is to charge the Pursina's Spikes, then focus on dealing heavy damage on the Ruin Grader. Use an Electro Character to charge up the spikes, then freeze the Ruin Grader in place to stop it from attacking the spikes!
View Character Tier List
Use Bow characters to paralyze the Ruin Grader, aim at its weak spots on its legs and on its head.
To trigger self-repair twice, you need to bring down the Anomalous Model Ruin Grader twice, and the Pursina's Spikes needs to have barely or no charge at all.
The challenge will be easier when you have other players aid you in the challenge, you and the other person can take turns charging up the Pursina's Spikes.
If you don't have many friends to play with yet, we recommend making some event buddies with our Co-Op boards:
