While Genshin Impact players eagerly anticipate the upcoming 5.4 update, the current version presents an unexpected opportunity to conquer even the toughest bosses effortlessly. Surprisingly, this trick doesn’t rely on high-end characters or intricate setups—it hinges on the often-overlooked Hydro Traveler, a character many gamers regard as one of the weakest Damage Per Second (DPS) options in the game.
At first glance, the mechanics behind this exploit seem deceptively straightforward. The Hydro Traveler’s Elemental Burst, combined with the Xiao Lanterns collected during the Lantern Rite Festival, creates an explosive synergy. By strategically placing a specific number of Xiao Lanterns near a boss and triggering the burst, the boss’s health bar plummets dramatically.
This phenomenon occurs due to the burst’s Area of Effect (AoE) damage, which amplifies its impact when interacting with objects. For instance, deploying a hundred Xiao Lanterns results in damage figures reaching into the millions.
Though this exploit is likely to face adjustments in future updates, it currently provides players with a remarkable shortcut to breeze through challenging boss encounters without breaking a sweat.
