As Genshin Impact players count down to the Version 5.4 release next week, the current update features an unexpected trick for defeating high-HP bosses with ease. Surprisingly, this strategy centers around the Hydro Traveler—often regarded as one of the game's weakest DPS characters.
The exploit works through straightforward mechanics (without diving into technical coding details). By deploying the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst near Xiao Lanterns—collectible items from the Lantern Rite Festival—players trigger massive damage spikes. Simply position multiple lanterns near a boss, activate the burst, and watch their health plummet.
The secret lies in the burst's amplified AoE damage when interacting with objects. Stacking hundreds of lanterns can push this damage into the millions.
While developers will likely patch this glitch soon, it currently offers players an effortless way to dominate boss battles.
