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 in Genshin Impact presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a free four-star character or boost an existing one's constellations. Prioritize obtaining a character you lack or need constellations for. If your roster is well-stocked, consider these recommendations:

The standout choice is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder enhances survivability in teams that prioritize damage over healing (e.g., Hu Tao, Arlecchino) while simultaneously boosting damage through resistance shredding with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Her second constellation significantly improves her shield regeneration, making her an even more valuable asset. Furthermore, she's a likely acquisition during the Arlecchino or Clorinde banner pulls.

Other top-tier four-star options include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao stands out as a powerful Dendro healer, effectively maintaining your team's health. Her abilities heal both the active character and deal damage to enemies, making her a versatile addition to various team compositions (Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, Burning). Remarkably, she's exceptionally effective even at Constellation Zero.

Xingqiu and Xiangling are consistently ranked among the best four-star characters in Genshin Impact. If you're missing either, they are excellent choices. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, providing Hydro application for Freeze and Vaporize teams, alongside damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation dramatically increases his capabilities. Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, boasts a powerful burst that inflicts significant Pyro damage, ideal for triggering reactions. While many players obtain a copy through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations, particularly Constellation Four (40% burst duration increase), significantly enhance her power.

If you already possess these characters, focus on acquiring constellations for any other four-star characters you desire. Don't miss this chance to strengthen your existing team!
