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 glitch to effortlessly defeat even the toughest bosses. This unexpected strategy utilizes the Hydro Traveler, a character often deemed weak, to dramatically reduce enemy health.

The method is deceptively simple. By strategically placing numerous Xiao Lanterns (obtained during the Lantern Rite Festival) near a boss, and then activating the Hydro Traveler's Elemental Burst, players can inflict massive AoE damage. The interaction between the Burst and the lanterns results in damage output reaching millions, significantly depleting the boss's health bar.

This exploit leverages the game mechanics to amplify the Burst's area-of-effect damage. While likely to be patched in a future update, it currently provides a remarkably easy way to overcome challenging boss encounters.
