Challenge Rules for Stage 5

Difficulty Lightning's Stride Challenge Rules
Easy The Pure Electro Hypostasis is immune to Frozen, Stun, Petrification, and Electro DMG while persistently applied with Electro.
The Pure Electro Hypostasis possesses a Revival Prism: When the Pure Electro Hypostasis' HP would be expended, it will not be defeated but suffer Expose Weakness and undergo Energy Revival.
While Expose Weakness is in effect, the Elemental Reaction DMG inflicted on the Pure Electro Hypostasis will expend the Prismatic Energy of the Revival Prism. After 2 points of Prismatic Energy is expended, the Pure Electro Hypostasis will be defeated.
After the start of Energy Revival, the Pure Electro Hypostasis will need to complete three Actions before the revival culminates and Expose Weakness ends: At the same time, each point remaining of the Revival Prism's Primastic Energy will heal the Pure Electro Hypostasis for 2 HP.
Normal Prismatic Energy increases from 2 to 4.
Hard Prismatic Energy increases from 4 to 6.

Lightning's Stride Recommended Cards

Recommendation 1

Mono-Geo Team
Genshin - Zhongli CardZhongli Genshin - Noelle CardNoelle Any Shielder/Healer

Because of the Hypostasis' Revival Prism, you can't bruteforce your way to defeat this enemy card. Instead, it makes the whole thing a battle of grit, with which Shields/Heals are best bet. Zhongli and Noelle excel in providing shields to themselves, while constantly applying Crystallize for an extra stack of Shield!

Bring any of your favorite healers and shielders, like Diona and Jean, but avoid bringing supports that apply elemental aura to your characters since all of the Hypostasis' attacks are Electro!

Lightning's Stride Stage Guide

Bring Shield-Buffing Action Cards

Cards like Tenacity of the Millelith and Vortex Vanquisher works perfectly well with Zhongli's kit. The former provides consistent shield every round, while the latter rewards extra damage for having shields!

This is a perfect combo against the Hypostasis, where you're required to strike a good balance between defense and offense.

Avoid Inflicting Elemental Aura to Your Cards

Retaining elemental aura aside from Electro can be dangerous, especially the Hypostasis dishes out consistent Electro damage every round! Dendro, Cryo, and Hydro in particular must be avoided, as these will trigger Quicken, Superconduct, and Electro-charged, respectively.

Use Elemental Skills to Deplete the Revival Prism

The Revival Prism counter is multiplied by 2 each time it attemps to heal the Hypostasis once Expose Weakness is gone. You can deplete the counter by a single point each time the Hypostasis receives elemental damage!

Constantly attacking the Hypostasis with Elemental attacks while Expose Weakness is up, is the primary key to acing this stage, so keep this in mind!
