Best Four-Star Picks for Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact

When deciding which four-star character to choose during the Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact, it's crucial to consider both your current team composition and future team-building goals. Whether you're a new player or a seasoned veteran looking to enhance your constellations, here's a detailed guide to help you make the best choice.

Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

First and foremost, if there's a character you particularly enjoy playing and either don't have or want to upgrade with a new constellation, that should be your top pick. However, if you're looking for recommendations, we've got you covered.

The standout choice for many players this time is the new four-star character, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, Lan Yan offers increased survivability for teams that prefer shields over healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao and Arlecchino. Additionally, she can shred enemy resistance when equipped with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, making her a valuable asset. Since most players won't have her yet, she's an excellent choice for both new and existing players. If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banners, you might also get additional copies of Lan Yan, and her second constellation enhances her shield regeneration during normal attacks, further boosting her utility.

For other strong options, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Let's start with Yaoyao, a versatile Dendro healer who can keep your entire team healthy. Her skill heals the active party member while also damaging enemies, and her burst allows for team-wide healing while you control her. Yaoyao is perfect for teams utilizing bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning reactions, and she's highly effective even at constellation zero.

Moving on to the tried-and-true Xingqiu and Xiangling, these characters are among the best four-star units in Genshin Impact. If you're missing either, they're excellent choices. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, applying Hydro for freeze and vape teams, and also offers damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation significantly boosts his power. Xiangling, another sub-DPS, uses Pyro to create a pyronado that deals damage and applies Pyro for reactions. You receive a copy of Xiangling by clearing Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her constellations, especially the fourth one, greatly enhance her burst duration and effectiveness.

If you already have all these characters, consider which four-star characters you need constellations for and choose accordingly to maximize the benefits of the Lantern Rite event.
