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 crucial decision: which four-star character to select? This guide helps both new and veteran players make the optimal choice, whether you're aiming for a new character or valuable constellations.

Prioritize existing favorites! If you desire a missing character or additional constellations for a beloved unit, choose them without hesitation. Otherwise, consider these recommendations:

The standout choice is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder enhances survivability in teams needing defense without healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao or Arlecchino. Her Anemo application, coupled with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, provides significant resistance shredding. Most players will lack Lan Yan, making her a highly valuable acquisition. Her second constellation further enhances her shield's regeneration during normal attacks, significantly boosting her overall strength.

If you're actively pursuing Arlecchino or Clorinde, you'll have increased chances of acquiring Lan Yan during these banner periods.

Beyond Lan Yan, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao represent excellent alternatives. Yaoyao, a potent Dendro healer, consistently maintains your team's health. While her skill primarily heals the active character, it also damages enemies. Her burst provides team-wide healing. Yaoyao is ideal for Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, and even Burning team compositions. Remarkably, she functions effectively at Constellation Zero, eliminating the need for additional copies.

Xingqiu and Xiangling are established top-tier four-star units. If you lack either, they are highly recommended. Xingqiu, an exceptional sub-DPS, inflicts substantial Hydro damage, making him essential in Freeze and Vaporize teams. He also offers damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation dramatically amplifies his capabilities.

Xiangling, another sub-DPS (Pyro), unleashes a Pyronado inflicting significant Pyro damage, crucial for triggering reactions. While many players obtain a copy through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations significantly enhance her power, particularly Constellation Four, which extends her burst duration by 40%, transforming her from strong to exceptionally powerful.

If you possess all these characters, select a four-star unit requiring constellations. Don't miss this opportunity to strengthen your existing roster.
