Lantern Rite's Stellar 4-Stars Unveiled

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

The Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact presents a valuable opportunity to acquire a free four-star character or enhance an existing one. Prioritize obtaining a desired character you lack or constellations for a favorite. If you're undecided, consider these recommendations:

The standout choice is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder significantly boosts survivability in teams needing it without relying on healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao or Arlecchino. Her Anemo application synergizes perfectly with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set for resistance shredding. Most players will lack her, making her a highly valuable addition. Her second constellation further enhances her shield regeneration, making her even more potent.

If you're pursuing Arlecchino or Clorinde from current banners, you'll have a chance to obtain Lan Yan as a bonus.

Other top-tier four-star options include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao, a strong Dendro healer, maintains your team's health effectively. Her skill heals the active character while also dealing damage, and her burst provides team-wide healing. She excels in various team compositions (Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, Burning) and functions optimally even at Constellation Zero.

Xingqiu and Xiangling are consistently ranked among the best four-star characters in Genshin Impact. If you lack either, they are excellent choices. Xingqiu is a superb sub-DPS, applying Hydro for reactions (freeze and vape teams) and providing damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation dramatically increases his power. Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, unleashes a powerful pyronado that deals significant damage and applies Pyro for reactions. While obtainable from Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations, particularly Constellation Four (40% burst duration increase), significantly amplify her strength.

If you already possess these characters, select a four-star character requiring constellations. Don't miss this chance to bolster your existing roster.
