Choosing the right four-star character during the Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact can significantly enhance your gameplay, whether you're a new player or a seasoned veteran looking to boost constellations. If you have a favorite character you're missing or want to upgrade, that's your best choice. However, if you're open to suggestions, here's our guide to help you decide.
The standout choice this time is the new four-star character, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, she adds crucial survivability to teams like those led by Hu Tao and Arlecchino, which don't rely on healing. She also boosts team damage with the Viridescent Venerer set, making her a valuable addition for most players. If you're aiming for Arlecchino or Clorinde in the current banners, you might also snag Lan Yan. Her second constellation enhances her shield regeneration through normal attacks, making her even more formidable.
For other excellent options, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao is a strong Dendro healer, perfect for keeping your team healthy while also contributing to Dendro reactions like bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning. Her abilities are effective even at constellation zero, making her a versatile choice.
Xingqiu and Xiangling remain some of the best four-star units in Genshin Impact. Xingqiu excels as a Hydro sub-DPS, essential for freeze and vape teams, providing damage, Hydro application, and even some healing and damage reduction. His final constellation significantly boosts his power.
Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, unleashes a pyronado with her ultimate, dealing damage and enabling Pyro reactions. Most players have her from Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her fourth constellation extends her burst duration by 40%, making her nearly unbeatable.
If you already own these characters, consider choosing a four-star whose constellations you need to enhance. This way, you'll make the most of the Lantern Rite event's free character opportunity.
Genshin Impact is available to play now.
