As Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the release of the 5.4 update next week, the current version presents a surprising advantage: an exploit that lets players effortlessly defeat bosses with massive health pools. Interestingly, this exploit utilizes the Hydro Traveler, a character often underestimated for their DPS capabilities.
The mechanics of this exploit are straightforward, even if the technical details are beyond us non-programmers. The key lies in combining the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst with Xiao Lanterns, which players can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. The strategy involves placing a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss and then activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst. This interaction results in a dramatic reduction of the boss's health bar.
The reason behind this phenomenon is the Elemental Burst's ability to deal additional Area of Effect (AoE) damage when it interacts with objects. With a hundred lanterns in play, the damage can soar into the millions, making short work of even the toughest foes.
While this exploit is likely to be patched in future updates, it currently offers a golden window for players to conquer boss fights with minimal effort. Enjoy this advantage while it lasts, as it may soon be a thing of the past.
