"Genshin Impact Bug Enables Devastating Boss Damage"

As Genshin Impact players eagerly await the release of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version has introduced an unexpected exploit that allows players to effortlessly defeat bosses with seemingly massive health reserves. Surprisingly, the key to this exploit lies with the Hydro Traveler, a character often regarded as one of the least effective DPS options in the game.

The mechanics of this exploit might seem straightforward, even to those of us who aren't delving into the game's internal coding. The process involves using the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst in conjunction with Xiao Lanterns, which are obtainable during the Lantern Rite Festival. The trick is to strategically place a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss, then unleash the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst. The result? A dramatic reduction in the boss's health bar.

This phenomenon occurs because the Elemental Burst triggers additional Area of Effect (AoE) damage when it interacts with objects. By deploying a hundred lanterns, the damage output can soar into the millions, making boss fights a breeze.

While this exploit is likely to be addressed and nerfed in future updates, for now, it presents a golden window for players to conquer challenging boss encounters with minimal effort. Enjoy the advantage while it lasts!
