Genshin Impact players eagerly awaiting the 5.4 update can currently exploit a surprising game mechanic to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses. This unexpected strategy utilizes the Hydro Traveler, often considered a weak DPS character, to achieve incredible results.
The exploit's simplicity is deceptive. Without delving into the game's programming, the method involves placing numerous Xiao Lanterns (obtained during the Lantern Rite Festival) near a boss. Activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst then triggers a significant reduction in the boss's health.
This dramatic health reduction stems from the Elemental Burst's amplified AoE damage when interacting with objects. Deploying a large number of lanterns – potentially hundreds – can result in damage output reaching millions.
While this exploit is almost certainly slated for a future nerf, it currently provides a remarkably easy way to overcome challenging boss encounters.
