Choosing Your Ideal Four-Star in Genshin Impact's Lantern Rite Event

The Lantern Rite event presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a coveted four-star character or boost existing constellations. Prioritize obtaining a desired character or constellation if you have one in mind. Otherwise, consider these recommendations:

The standout choice for many players is the new Anemo shielder, Lan Yan. Her kit offers enhanced survivability for teams that prioritize damage over healing (like Hu Tao and Arlecchino compositions), while simultaneously providing resistance shredding with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Her absence from most rosters and impressive potential make her a highly attractive option. Furthermore, her second constellation significantly enhances her shield regeneration, making her even more formidable.

While wishing for Arlecchino or Clorinde, you might also acquire Lan Yan constellations. This presents a strategic opportunity to bolster your roster.

Beyond Lan Yan, top contenders include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao excels as a Dendro healer, consistently maintaining your team's health. Her skill heals the active character while also damaging enemies, and her burst provides team-wide healing. She's a valuable asset for various team compositions (Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, Burning), and remarkably effective even at Constellation Zero.

Xingqiu and Xiangling are established top-tier four-star units. If you lack either, they are excellent choices. Xingqiu is a superb sub-DPS, applying substantial Hydro damage, crucial for Freeze and Vaporize teams. He also offers damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation further amplifies his capabilities.

Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, inflicts significant Pyro damage with her ultimate, creating a Pyronado. While many players obtain her through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations dramatically increase her power, particularly Constellation Four, which extends her burst duration by 40%.

If you already possess these characters, select a four-star character needing constellation upgrades to maximize the event's value. Don't miss this chance to strengthen your team!
