Genshin Impact TCG: How To Beat Electro Hypostasis (Tavern Challenge)

Electro Hypostasis is one of the first available bosses in Genshin Impact’s initial release. While fighting the boss, it has a Rock-Paper-Scissor move where the cube transforms into the corresponding shapes and attacks the players with it. Once the sequence is over, the Hypostasis’ core will be revealed and players can finally attack it.

Electro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact TCG also has this feature, where instead of a normal Elemental Skill that costs three Dice, the boss instead demands five whopping Dice. Fortunately, the investment will be worth the price as a total of seven damage will be dealt by this move alone. Considering the strength of this opponent, it’s no surprise some players may have a hard time fighting the Tavern Challenge for this character card. Fortunately, it’s actually easy to beat Electro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG as long as players are equipped with proper knowledge of the boss’ movement pattern.

How To Beat Electro Hypostasis In Genshin Impact TCG

The simplest way to beat Electro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG is by using Noelle or Arataki Itto. Both characters can easily protect themselves using Crystallized reactions and shield/damage blocks while also dealing massive damage with their Geo-infused Normal Attacks. Overloaded from Pyro is also decent, but it’s not an all-rounder offense and defense like Noelle or Itto.

To beat the boss, one thing players need to keep in mind is the Electro Crystal Core. This Core allows the boss to revive when players defeat it the first time. If duelers fail to beat the Electro Hypostasis before the next round starts, the Electro Crystal Core will return, and the revival state will trigger again (this can occur twice per battle). Basically, this means players must beat the boss twice in a single round, so managing the boss’ HP is as important as the dueler’s own HP.

Electro Hypostasis Talent Overview

Overall, Electro Hypostasis has a rather interesting mechanic. Its Normal Attack is a simple 1 Electro DMG hit, but Skill, Burst, and Passive are all unique.

After casting Elemental Skill, the boss will hit three times; each hit consumes a turn. The damage sequence goes like this:

2 Electro DMG
2 Electro DMG
3 Electro DMG

So don’t be fooled by the Electro Hypostasis’ intent as one Skill cast means three instances of damage. This slow mechanic also allows players to switch around freely while still ending the round first, but only before the boss uses Elemental Burst.

With its Burst, Electro Hypostasis deals 2 Electro DMG and summons Chains of Warding Thunder. This chain deals 1 DMG in the End Phase and causes a character switch to cost one extra Dice, which means switching around may be costly without a cost-down card.

Finally, the Electro Hypostasis has two passives. The first is Electro Crystal Core which revives the Genshin Impact boss when it’s downed the first time (this state will return at the beginning of the next round, up to twice per battle), and the second is Elemental Sedimentation: Electro, which causes the boss to always be affected by Electro. This makes it trivial for characters to trigger Elemental reactions.

Best Deck To Beat Electro Hypostasis In Genshin Impact TCG

The best deck to beat Electro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG is something like Arataki Itto + Noelle + Yoimiya. Focus mostly on Itto and Noelle to shield and build up their Elemental Burst. Only go to Yoimiya if the Dice roll forbids the Geo duo to move.

Yoimiya is here not only for the Pyro Element but also for the Inazuma Resonance with Itto. Inazuma Resonance card can convert all Dice into the Element of the active character, which will be great when players need Geo Dice.

Notable cards for this Deck are:

Thunder and Eternity (Inazuma Resonance card)
Jade Chamber
Knights of Favonius Library
Vanarana
Kid Kujirai
Elemental Resonance: Woven Stone (Geo Resonance card)
Elemental Resonance: Enduring Rock (Geo Resonance card)
Bestest Travel Companion
Toss-Up
The Legend of Vennessa
Mondstadt Hash Brown
Northern Smoked Chicken
Minty Meat Rolls
