"Genshin Impact Glitch Enables Devastating Boss Damage"

While Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the 5.4 update, scheduled to arrive in just a week, the current version presents an unexpected advantage: an exploit that makes even the toughest bosses with massive health pools easy to defeat. Interestingly, this exploit leverages the Hydro Traveler, a character often underestimated and considered one of the weakest in terms of DPS.

The method behind this exploit is deceptively straightforward, and while we're not delving into the game's programming specifics, the technique itself is accessible. The key components are the Hydro Traveler and the Xiao Lanterns, which players can collect during the Lantern Rite Festival. The trick lies in strategically positioning a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss. Once in place, the Hydro Traveler casts their Elemental Burst, triggering a dramatic reduction in the boss’s health bar.

This phenomenon occurs because the Elemental Burst inflicts additional Area of Effect (AoE) damage upon interacting with an object. With a hundred lanterns in play, the damage can soar into the millions, making short work of any boss.

Although this exploit is likely to be patched in upcoming updates, it currently provides a golden window for players to effortlessly conquer boss battles. This opportunity won't last long, so make the most of it while you can!
