Genshin Impact players eagerly awaiting the 5.4 update can currently exploit a surprising tactic to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses. This unexpected strategy utilizes the Hydro Traveler, often considered a weak DPS character, to dramatically reduce enemy health.
The method is deceptively simple. 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 bar plummets due to the burst's amplified AoE damage when interacting with objects. Deploying a hundred lanterns can result in millions of damage points.
While this exploit is undoubtedly a temporary glitch, it currently provides a remarkably easy way to conquer challenging boss encounters. Expect this strategy to be patched in a future update.
