Genshin Impact Bug Enables Devastating Boss Damage

As Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the release of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents a surprising opportunity to conquer bosses with seemingly insurmountable health pools. Interestingly, the key to this exploit lies with the Hydro Traveler, a character often underestimated and considered one of the weakest in terms of DPS.

The mechanics behind this exploit are deceptively simple for non-programmers. The strategy revolves around the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst and the Xiao Lanterns, which players can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. The magic unfolds when you strategically place a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss and then unleash the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst. Astonishingly, this action causes the boss's health bar to plummet significantly.

The reason behind this phenomenon is that the Elemental Burst inflicts additional AoE damage when it interacts with objects. By placing up to a hundred lanterns, the damage can soar into the millions, making short work of even the toughest bosses.

While it's highly probable that this exploit will be addressed and nerfed in upcoming updates, players can currently take advantage of this glitch to effortlessly breeze through challenging boss encounters. This unexpected advantage adds a unique twist to the gameplay experience as we approach the 5.4 update.
