Wicked Genshin Impact bug allows you to deal terrible, terrible damage to bosses

As Genshin Impact enthusiasts eagerly await the release of the 5.4 update in just a week, the current version presents an unexpected advantage: the ability to effortlessly defeat bosses with massive health pools. Surprisingly, this exploit leverages the Hydro Traveler, a character often underestimated for their DPS capabilities.

The trick behind this exploit is deceptively straightforward, even if you're not a programmer and don't delve into the game's internal code. The key players are the Hydro Traveler, who can unleash their Elemental Burst, and the Xiao Lanterns, which you can gather during the Lantern Rite Festival. Here's how it works: strategically position a specific number of Xiao Lanterns around a boss, then activate the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst. The result? The boss's health bar plummets dramatically.

This phenomenon occurs because the Elemental Burst inflicts additional AoE damage when it interacts with objects. With a hundred lanterns in play, the damage can soar into the millions, making short work of even the toughest foes.

While it's almost certain that this exploit will be patched in future updates, for now, Genshin Impact offers players a golden window to conquer boss fights with ease. Take advantage of this opportunity while it lasts!
