Choosing Your Ideal Four-Star in Genshin Impact's Lantern Rite Event

Prioritize obtaining characters you lack or those needing constellation upgrades. If your roster is complete, consider these recommendations:

The standout choice this Lantern Rite is the new Anemo shielder, Lan Yan. Her utility extends beyond survivability; she offers crucial resistance shredding, particularly beneficial for teams featuring characters like Hu Tao and Arlecchino, when paired with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Her acquisition is highly recommended, especially considering her potential strength. Obtaining her second constellation significantly enhances her shield regeneration during normal attacks. Furthermore, she's a likely drop while wishing on banners featuring Arlecchino or Clorinde.

Other top-tier four-star options include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao, a potent Dendro healer, excels at maintaining team health. While her skill primarily heals the active character, it also damages enemies. Her burst offers team-wide healing. She's a versatile choice for various team compositions (Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, or even Burning), and remarkably effective even at Constellation Zero.

Xingqiu and Xiangling are consistently ranked among the best four-star characters. If you're missing either, they are excellent selections. Xingqiu is a superb sub-DPS, applying substantial Hydro damage, making him invaluable in Freeze and Vaporize teams. He also provides damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation further amplifies his capabilities.

Xiangling, another exceptional sub-DPS (Pyro), unleashes a damaging Pyronado, applying substantial Pyro for reactions. While many players obtain a copy through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations greatly enhance her performance. Constellation four, in particular, significantly extends her burst duration, transforming her from strong to exceptionally powerful.

If you already possess these characters, focus on acquiring constellations for any remaining four-star characters offered in the event. Don't miss this opportunity to bolster your existing units.
