To get the Engulfing Lighting 5-star polearm, you will need to participate in the event wish Epitome Invocation, which runs until 21 September. 

Learn how the Epitomized Path works in our dedicated guide, then set a course of the 5-star polearm Engulfing Lighting or the 5-star Claymore, The Unforged, to dramatically increase its drop rate. Head on over to the Wish screen in the game and select the event details, select the weapon of your choosing, play the game and the drop will come.

Keep in mind the Engulfing Lighting 5-star polearm weapon and The Unforged is exclusive to the Epitome Invocation event, and not available in the standard "Wanderlust Invocation" wish.
