When it comes to choosing the right four-star character during the Lantern Rite event in *Genshin Impact*, it's a decision that can significantly impact your gameplay, whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned player looking to enhance your constellations. Let's dive into the best picks for this event.
Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact
If you have a favorite character you don't own or want to boost with a new constellation, then by all means, go for them. However, if you're looking for recommendations, we've got you covered.
The standout choice this time around is the newly introduced four-star character, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, Lan Yan adds a layer of survivability to teams that don't rely on healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao and Arlecchino. She also excels at shredding enemy resistance when equipped with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Most players won't have her yet, making her an exciting and powerful addition to your roster.
If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banner periods, you'll have the chance to also pick up Lan Yan. Achieving her second constellation allows her shield to regenerate through normal attacks, significantly boosting her effectiveness.
Beyond Lan Yan, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Let's start with Yaoyao, a potent Dendro healer who can keep your entire team healthy. While her skill heals only the active character, it also damages foes. Her burst lets you heal the whole team while controlling her for a short time, making her a fantastic choice for teams focusing on bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning. The best part? She's highly effective even at constellation zero, meaning you don't need additional copies to benefit from her abilities.
Moving on to the classics, Xingqiu and Xiangling remain some of the best four-star characters in *Genshin Impact*. If you're missing either, they're must-haves. Xingqiu is a versatile sub-DPS who can deal damage and apply Hydro, essential for freeze and vape teams. He also offers damage reduction and some healing, making him incredibly valuable. His final constellation amplifies his power to new heights.
Xiangling, another sub-DPS, excels with Pyro. Her ultimate summons a Pyronado that inflicts significant damage and applies Pyro for reactions. Every player receives a copy of Xiangling upon clearing Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her constellations enhance her capabilities significantly. Aim for her fourth constellation, which extends her burst duration by 40%, transforming her into a powerhouse.
If you already own all these characters, review the available four-star characters and select one whose constellations you wish to enhance. This way, you'll make the most of the free copy opportunity during the Lantern Rite event.
