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. By strategically placing numerous Xiao Lanterns (obtained during the Lantern Rite Festival) near a boss, and then activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, players can inflict massive area-of-effect damage. The interaction between the Burst and the lanterns results in exponentially increased damage output, potentially reaching millions. The sheer number of lanterns amplifies the effect.
While this exploit is undoubtedly a temporary glitch, it currently provides a remarkably easy way to overcome challenging boss encounters. Expect this to be patched in a future update.
