As Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the release of the 5.4 update in just one week, the current version presents an intriguing opportunity to effortlessly conquer even the toughest bosses with massive health reserves. Surprisingly, this exploit leverages the abilities of the Hydro Traveler, a character often underestimated as one of the least effective damage dealers in the game.
The mechanics behind this exploit might seem straightforward to those not versed in programming (we won't delve into the game's internal code here). The strategy involves the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst and the Xiao Lanterns, which players can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. The magic unfolds when you strategically position a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss, then unleash the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst. This action causes the boss's health to plummet dramatically.
The reason behind this phenomenon is that the Elemental Burst triggers additional Area of Effect (AoE) damage when it interacts with objects. By placing a hundred lanterns, the damage can soar into the millions, making short work of any boss.
While this exploit is sure to be addressed and likely nerfed in future updates, it currently offers Genshin Impact players a unique chance to breeze through boss fights with minimal effort. Enjoy this window of opportunity while it lasts!
