Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

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

The Lantern Rite event presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a coveted four-star character or boost an existing one's constellations. If you have a favorite character needing constellations, the choice is simple. However, if you're undecided, let's explore some top recommendations.

For many players, the standout choice is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder enhances survivability in teams that prioritize damage over healing (like those featuring Hu Tao or Arlecchino) while simultaneously boosting damage through resistance shredding with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Her novelty and apparent strength make her a compelling option for most players.

Lan Yan is also a potential acquisition during the Arlecchino or Clorinde banners, offering a chance to obtain multiple copies and unlock her second constellation. This constellation significantly upgrades her shield's functionality, allowing regeneration through normal attacks.

Beyond Lan Yan, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao stand out as excellent four-star choices. Yaoyao, a powerful Dendro healer, keeps your team's health consistently high. While her skill heals only the active character, it also damages enemies, and her burst heals the entire party. She's a superb addition to Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, or even Burning team compositions. Remarkably, she's highly effective even 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 invaluable in Freeze and Vaporize teams. He also provides damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation dramatically amplifies his capabilities.

Xiangling, another sub-DPS (Pyro), unleashes a Pyronado that deals significant damage and applies Pyro for reactions. While many players obtain a copy through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations drastically increase her effectiveness. Constellation four, in particular, extends her burst duration by 40%, transforming her from strong to exceptionally powerful.

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