A JapaneseGenshin Impactplayer discovered a neat trick that players can use to easily defeat Liam - “Fading Rainbow,” one of Fontaine’s Local Legend enemies. The user takes position on a cliff overlooking Liam’s spawn location and hits him with a Charged Attack usingpopularGenshin Impactcharacter Ganyu, drawing the enemy’s attention. Using another Charged Attack, the player creates a small ice platform on a nearby lake and glides off the cliff, drawing Liam onto the platform before it melts. Liam is instantly defeated when the platform melts, due toGenshin Impact’s land enemies being unable to swim.

The clever use of Ganyu’s Charged Attacks to quickly defeat Liam is just one of many examples ofGenshin Impactplayers' creativity using the game’s characters. Players have used thecombination of Yelan and Lynette’s dash abilitiesto create an infinite sprinting combination. Others have discovered unique ways to push the game’s combat to its limits, including a team composition that allows five-star character Diluc to deal over 1,000,000 damage with one Plunging Attack.
