Genshin Impact players eagerly awaiting the 5.4 update can currently exploit a surprising glitch to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses. This unexpected strategy utilizes the Hydro Traveler, a character often deemed weak, to achieve massive damage output.
The exploit's mechanics are surprisingly straightforward. Players combine the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst with the Xiao Lanterns obtained during the Lantern Rite Festival. By strategically placing numerous lanterns near a boss and activating the Elemental Burst, the boss's health plummets dramatically.
This amplified damage stems from the Elemental Burst's interaction with the lanterns, significantly increasing its AoE effect. Positioning a large number of lanterns (around a hundred) can result in damage reaching millions.
While this exploit is undoubtedly temporary and likely to be patched in a future update, it currently provides a remarkably easy method to overcome challenging boss encounters.
