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

Genshin Impact players eagerly anticipating the 5.4 update can currently exploit a surprising game mechanic to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses. This unexpected strategy utilizes the Hydro Traveler, often considered a weak DPS character, and the Xiao Lanterns obtainable during the Lantern Rite Festival.

The exploit's simplicity is deceptive. Without delving into the game's code, the process involves strategically placing numerous Xiao Lanterns near a boss. Activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst then triggers a significant reduction in the boss's health. This amplified AoE damage from the burst interacting with the lanterns can reach millions, effectively decimating the boss's health bar.

While this exploit is undoubtedly a temporary advantage, likely to be patched in future updates, it currently presents a unique opportunity to overcome challenging boss encounters with minimal effort.
