While Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the arrival of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents an unexpected opportunity to swiftly defeat even the toughest bosses with their massive health pools. Interestingly, this exploit leverages the Hydro Traveler, a character often overlooked as one of the weakest in terms of DPS in the game.
The trick behind this exploit is deceptively straightforward for those of us who aren't delving into the game's programming code. The key players are the Hydro Traveler, capable of unleashing their Elemental Burst, and the Xiao Lanterns, which you can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. Here's the ingenious part: by strategically placing a certain number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss and then casting the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, you'll witness the boss's health bar diminish dramatically.
This phenomenon occurs because the Elemental Burst inflicts additional area of effect (AoE) damage when it comes into contact with objects. If you position a hundred lanterns, the damage can skyrocket into the millions.
It's highly probable that this exploit will be addressed and nerfed in future updates, but for the time being, players have a golden window to effortlessly conquer boss battles. This unexpected strategy not only adds a fun twist to gameplay but also showcases the creative ways players can interact with the game's mechanics.
