Genshin Impact Glitch: Exploitable Boss Damage Bug

Genshin Impact players eagerly awaiting the 5.4 update in a week can currently exploit a surprising strategy to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses, regardless of their massive health pools. Ironically, this exploit centers around the Hydro Traveler, a character often considered one of the game's weakest DPS options.

The exploit's mechanics are surprisingly straightforward. Using the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst in conjunction with Xiao Lanterns (collected during the Lantern Rite Festival) is the key. By strategically placing a large number of Xiao Lanterns near a boss and then activating the Elemental Burst, players can witness a dramatic and unexpected reduction in the boss's health.

This significant damage boost stems from the Elemental Burst's increased AoE damage when interacting with objects. With a hundred lanterns, the damage output can reach millions, effectively trivializing boss encounters.

While this exploit is likely to be patched in a future update, it currently provides a unique and effortless way to conquer challenging boss fights.
