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 leverages the Hydro Traveler, a character often deemed a weak DPS option, to achieve incredible results.

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

This phenomenon stems from the Elemental Burst's amplified AoE damage when interacting with objects. Deploying a hundred lanterns can result in damage reaching millions.

While this exploit is expected to receive a nerf in future updates, it currently provides a remarkably easy way to overcome challenging boss encounters.
