Choosing Your Ideal Four-Star in Genshin Impact's Lantern Rite Event
Prioritizing your selection? If you covet a missing character or additional constellations for a favorite, the decision is simple – choose them! Otherwise, consider these recommendations.
This year's standout is the new four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder enhances survivability in teams needing defense without healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao or Arlecchino. Her synergy with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set further amplifies her resistance shredding capabilities. Given her recent introduction, most players will likely lack her, making her a compelling choice. Acquiring her second constellation unlocks shield regeneration during normal attacks, significantly boosting her effectiveness.
While wishing for powerful five-star DPS units like Arlecchino or Clorinde, you might also acquire Lan Yan constellations.
Beyond Lan Yan, top contenders include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao, a potent Dendro healer, consistently replenishes your team's health. Although her skill primarily heals the active character, it also damages enemies. Her burst heals the entire team. She's ideal for Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, or Burning team compositions. Remarkably, she's fully functional at Constellation Zero, negating the need for additional copies.
The veteran favorites, Xingqiu and Xiangling, remain among Genshin Impact's best four-star characters. If you lack either, they are excellent choices. 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 elevates his power to exceptional levels.
Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, unleashes a damaging Pyronado, applying ample Pyro for reactions. While players receive a Xiangling copy from Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations significantly boost her capabilities. Constellation Four, extending her burst duration by 40%, transforms her into a truly formidable unit.
If you already possess these characters, focus on obtaining constellations for other desired four-star characters. Don't miss this opportunity to strengthen your roster!
