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

Genshin Impact players eagerly awaiting the 5.4 update can currently exploit a surprising tactic to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses. This unexpected strategy utilizes the Hydro Traveler, a character often deemed a weak DPS option, to achieve remarkable results.

The method, surprisingly straightforward, involves the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst and the Xiao Lanterns acquired during the Lantern Rite Festival. By strategically placing a significant number of Xiao Lanterns near a boss and activating the Elemental Burst, players witness a dramatic reduction in the boss's health.

This amplified damage stems from the Elemental Burst's interaction with the lanterns, significantly increasing its area-of-effect damage. Deploying a large quantity of lanterns (e.g., one hundred) can generate millions of damage points.

While this exploit is undoubtedly temporary and likely to be patched in a future update, it currently provides players with an incredibly easy way to overcome challenging boss encounters.
