Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact
Choosing the right four-star character during the Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact can significantly boost your team's performance. If you have a favorite character you're missing or want to enhance with a new constellation, that's your best bet. However, if you're looking for recommendations, here are some top picks.
The standout choice this time is the new four-star character, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, Lan Yan not only enhances survivability in teams that prefer shields over healing, such as those with Hu Tao and Arlecchino, but also boosts damage by shredding enemy resistance with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Since most players won't have her yet, she's a valuable addition to any roster. If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banners, you might also snag a Lan Yan or two. Her second constellation allows her shield to regenerate during normal attacks, making her even more formidable.
Next up, consider Yaoyao, a versatile Dendro healer who can keep your entire team healthy. Her skill heals the active party member while also damaging enemies, and her burst heals the whole team while you control her. Yaoyao is perfect for bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning teams, and she's effective even at constellation zero, meaning you don't need additional copies to maximize her potential.
For those looking at tried-and-true options, Xingqiu and Xiangling are among the best four-star units in Genshin Impact. If you're missing either, they're excellent choices. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, applying Hydro for freeze and vape teams, and offers damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation significantly boosts his power.
Xiangling, another sub-DPS, brings Pyro damage with her pyronado ultimate, which is great for reactions. You receive a copy of Xiangling by clearing Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her constellations, especially the fourth one, which extends her burst duration by 40%, make her exceptionally powerful.
If you already have these characters, consider which four-star characters you need constellations for and choose accordingly to make the most of this free opportunity.
