Genshin Impact Bug Enables Devastating Boss Damage

While Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the release of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents an intriguing opportunity to swiftly defeat even the most formidable bosses with their massive health pools. Ironically, this exploit leverages the Hydro Traveler, a character often overlooked as one of the least effective damage dealers in the game.

The mechanism behind this exploit is deceptively straightforward, though we won't delve into the game's internal code as we're not programmers. The strategy involves the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst and Xiao Lanterns, which players can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. Here's how it works: by strategically placing a specific number of Xiao Lanterns near a boss and then casting the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, you witness a dramatic reduction in the boss's health bar.

This phenomenon occurs because the Elemental Burst inflicts additional area-of-effect (AoE) damage when it interacts with objects. With a hundred lanterns in place, the damage can soar into the millions, making it a game-changer for boss fights.

While this exploit is likely to be addressed and nerfed in future updates, it currently provides Genshin Impact players with a golden window to conquer boss battles with minimal effort. Enjoy it while it lasts!
