As Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the arrival of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents an intriguing opportunity to conquer even the most formidable bosses with ease. Surprisingly, the key to this exploit lies with the Hydro Traveler, a character often overlooked and considered one of the weakest in terms of DPS within the game.
The simplicity of this exploit might astonish those unfamiliar with the game's mechanics. While we won't dive into the programming intricacies, the process is straightforward. It involves utilizing the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst alongside the Xiao Lanterns, which players can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. The strategy unfolds as follows: strategically place 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.
The secret behind this tactic is the interaction between the Elemental Burst and the lanterns. When the burst hits an object, it triggers additional AoE damage. With a hundred lanterns in play, the damage output can skyrocket into the millions, turning even the toughest bosses into mere speed bumps.
While this exploit is likely to be addressed and nerfed in future updates, it currently offers Genshin Impact players a unique chance to effortlessly navigate through challenging boss encounters. Enjoy this temporary advantage while it lasts!
