As Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the release of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents a surprising advantage: players can effortlessly defeat bosses with massive health pools. This unexpected exploit revolves around the Hydro Traveler, a character often overlooked as one of the weakest in terms of DPS. Yet, with the right strategy, this character can become a powerhouse.
The trick to this exploit is straightforward, even for those not versed in programming. It involves utilizing the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst alongside the Xiao Lanterns, which are obtainable during the Lantern Rite Festival. The method is simple yet effective: position a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss, unleash the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, and watch as the boss's health bar rapidly diminishes.
The reason behind this phenomenon is the interaction between the Elemental Burst and the lanterns. The burst triggers additional Area of Effect (AoE) damage when it hits an object. With a hundred lanterns in place, the damage can escalate into the millions, turning even the toughest bosses into manageable foes.
While this exploit is sure to be addressed and likely nerfed in upcoming updates, it currently offers players a unique chance to conquer challenging boss fights with minimal effort. Enjoy this advantage while it lasts, as the developers are sure to patch this game-changing tactic soon.
