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, a character often deemed a weak DPS option, to dramatically reduce enemy health.
The method is deceptively simple. By strategically placing a large 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 causes a significant health reduction, potentially dealing millions of damage with a sufficient number of lanterns.
While this exploit is likely to be patched in a future update, it currently provides a remarkably easy way to overcome challenging boss encounters.
