While Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the release of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents an intriguing opportunity for players to effortlessly defeat bosses, even those with seemingly insurmountable health pools. Surprisingly, the key to this exploit lies with the Hydro Traveler, a character often underestimated as one of the weakest damage dealers in the game.
The mechanics behind this exploit are deceptively simple for those not versed in programming. You'll need the Hydro Traveler, who can unleash their Elemental Burst, and the Xiao Lanterns, which players can collect during the Lantern Rite Festival. Here's where the strategy unfolds: by positioning a specific number of Xiao Lanterns near a boss and then activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, you can witness the boss's health bar plummet dramatically.
This phenomenon occurs because the Elemental Burst inflicts additional area of effect (AoE) damage when it interacts with an object. With a hundred lanterns in place, the damage can skyrocket into the millions, making short work of any boss.
While it's highly probable that this exploit will be patched in an upcoming update, savvy players can currently take advantage of this technique to breeze through boss fights with minimal effort. So, if you're looking to conquer those challenging encounters with ease, now's the time to leverage this unexpected advantage in Genshin Impact.
