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 remarkably straightforward. By strategically placing a significant number of Xiao Lanterns (obtained during the Lantern Rite Festival) near a boss, and then activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, players can inflict massive AoE damage. The interaction between the Burst and the lanterns results in damage output reaching millions, effectively decimating the boss's health bar.
This exploit leverages the game's mechanics, where the Elemental Burst's AoE damage is amplified by interacting with objects. While this technique is likely to be patched in a future update, it currently provides a simple way to overcome challenging boss encounters.
