Choosing Your Ideal Four-Star in Genshin Impact's Lantern Rite Event
The Lantern Rite event presents a valuable opportunity to acquire a coveted four-star character or enhance an existing one. If you have a favorite character needing constellations, the choice is simple. However, if you're undecided, consider these recommendations.
The standout choice is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder boosts survivability in teams needing defense without healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao or Arlecchino. Her Anemo application synergizes well with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set for resistance shredding. As a new character, most players will lack her, making her a compelling option. Her second constellation significantly enhances her shield regeneration, making her even more potent.
If you're aiming for Arlecchino or Clorinde, you'll have a chance to obtain Lan Yan while wishing for these five-star DPS characters.
Beyond Lan Yan, top contenders include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao, a powerful Dendro healer, keeps your team's health consistently high. Her skill heals the active character while also damaging enemies, and her burst provides team-wide healing. She's ideal for Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, or even Burning team compositions. Remarkably, she's 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 excellent choices. Xingqiu, a superb sub-DPS, inflicts substantial Hydro damage, making him a staple in Freeze and Vaporize teams. He also offers damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation further amplifies his capabilities.
Xiangling, another exceptional sub-DPS (Pyro), unleashes a damaging Pyronado, inflicting significant Pyro damage for powerful reactions. While players obtain a copy through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations significantly enhance her performance. Constellation four, in particular, extends her burst duration by 40%, transforming her into a truly formidable unit.
If you already possess these characters, prioritize obtaining constellations for any remaining four-star characters you desire. Don't miss this chance to bolster your roster.
