Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

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

The Lantern Rite event presents a valuable opportunity to acquire a coveted four-star character or enhance an existing one. If you already possess a favorite character needing constellations, the decision is simple. However, if you're undecided, consider these recommendations.

The standout choice is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder boosts survivability in teams needing it without relying on healing, synergizing perfectly with characters like Hu Tao and Arlecchino. Her Anemo application, coupled with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, significantly shreds enemy resistance. For most players, she's a fresh addition with considerable potential. Acquiring her second constellation further enhances her capabilities, allowing her shield to regenerate during normal attacks.

If you're aiming for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banner events, you'll have a chance to obtain Lan Yan constellations simultaneously.

Beyond Lan Yan, top contenders include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao stands out as a robust Dendro healer, effectively sustaining your team's health. While her skill primarily heals the active character, it also damages enemies. Her burst provides team-wide healing. She's a fantastic addition to Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, or even Burning teams, and remarkably effective even at Constellation Zero.

Veteran favorites Xingqiu and Xiangling remain among the best four-star units in the game. If you lack either, they are excellent choices. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, dealing substantial Hydro damage and facilitating Freeze and Vaporize team compositions. He also offers damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation significantly amplifies his already impressive power.

Xiangling, another exceptional sub-DPS (Pyro), unleashes a powerful pyronado that inflicts substantial Pyro damage, ideal for triggering reactions. While many players obtain a copy through Spiral Abyss Floor 5, her constellations dramatically enhance her capabilities, particularly Constellation Four, which extends her burst duration by 40%, transforming her into a truly formidable unit.

If you already own these characters, prioritize obtaining constellations for any remaining four-star characters offered. Don't miss this chance to strengthen your roster.
