As Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the release of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents an intriguing exploit that allows players to effortlessly defeat bosses with massive health pools. Surprisingly, this technique involves the Hydro Traveler, often regarded as one of the weakest DPS characters in the game.
The exploit's simplicity is striking, especially for those of us who aren't versed in programming and thus won't delve into the game's internal code. The strategy hinges on the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst and the Xiao Lanterns, which players can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. Here's how it works: position a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss, then unleash the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst. The result? A dramatic reduction in the boss's health bar.
This phenomenon occurs because the Elemental Burst triggers additional AoE damage when it interacts with objects. With a hundred lanterns in place, the damage can skyrocket into the millions.
It's almost certain that this exploit will be addressed in a future update, but for now, Genshin Impact offers players a unique chance to conquer boss battles with ease. Enjoy this shortcut while it lasts, and make the most of the current version before the 5.4 update rolls out.
