Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

Choosing the Right Four-Star in Genshin Impact's Lantern Rite Event

The Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact presents a valuable opportunity to acquire a free four-star character or boost an existing one's constellations. Prioritize obtaining a desired character you lack or constellations for a favorite. If that's not the case, consider these recommendations:

The standout choice is the new Anemo shielder, Lan Yan. Her ability to enhance survivability in teams needing it without relying on healing (e.g., Hu Tao and Arlecchino compositions) makes her incredibly valuable. Her Anemo application, combined with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, allows for significant resistance shredding. Many players will be acquiring her for the first time, and her potential is substantial. Constellation two significantly upgrades her shield regeneration, making her even more powerful. She's also a viable pull during the Arlecchino or Clorinde banners.

Other excellent four-star options include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao, a strong Dendro healer, provides consistent healing for the entire team, even offering offensive capabilities. Her effectiveness is notable even at constellation zero, making her a great choice for various team compositions (Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, Burning).

Xingqiu and Xiangling are arguably among the best four-star characters in the game. If you're missing either, they're highly recommended. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, applying Hydro for freeze and vape team compositions, while also offering damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation enhances his already impressive capabilities. Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, boasts a powerful burst that inflicts significant Pyro damage, ideal for triggering reactions. While obtainable through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations, particularly constellation four (40% burst duration increase), drastically improve her performance.

If you already possess these characters, focus on obtaining constellations for other four-star characters you need. Don't miss this chance to strengthen your roster!
