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 method to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses. This counter-intuitive strategy utilizes the Hydro Traveler, often considered a weak DPS character, to achieve astonishing results.

The exploit leverages a simple interaction (without delving into the game's code). By strategically placing a significant number of Xiao Lanterns (obtained during the Lantern Rite Festival) near a boss, and then activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, a massive amount of AoE damage is inflicted, dramatically depleting the boss's health. The burst's damage is amplified by its interaction with the lanterns; hundreds of lanterns can result in millions of damage points.

While this exploit is expected to be patched in a future update, it currently provides players with an exceptionally easy way to conquer challenging boss encounters.
