Choosing Your Ideal Four-Star in Genshin Impact's Lantern Rite Event
Prioritize obtaining characters you lack or need constellations for. If your roster is complete in that regard, consider these recommendations:
The standout choice this Lantern Rite is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. This Anemo shielder enhances survivability for teams needing defense without healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao or Arlecchino. Her synergy with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set further amplifies her damage reduction capabilities. Most players will not yet possess her, making her a highly valuable acquisition. Constellation two significantly boosts her shield regeneration through normal attacks. She's a strong contender even if you are pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde, as you might acquire Lan Yan copies during those banner pulls.
Other top-tier four-star options include Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao, a potent Dendro healer, effectively maintains your team's health. While her skill primarily heals the active character, it also damages enemies. Her burst offers team-wide healing. She's ideal for Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, or even Burning team compositions. Remarkably, she's fully functional at Constellation Zero, negating the need for additional copies.
Xingqiu and Xiangling are established top-tier four-star units. If you're missing either, they're excellent choices. Xingqiu, a superb sub-DPS, delivers considerable damage and Hydro application. His inclusion in Freeze and Vaporize teams is almost mandatory due to his damage reduction and minor healing capabilities. His final constellation significantly enhances his power.
Xiangling, another exceptional sub-DPS (Pyro), unleashes a devastating pyronado that inflicts substantial damage and Pyro application for reactions. While players often obtain a copy through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations dramatically increase her effectiveness. Constellation four, in particular, extends her burst duration by 40%, transforming her from strong to exceptionally powerful.
If you already possess all these characters, focus on acquiring constellations for any remaining four-star characters offered. Don't miss this opportunity to bolster your existing roster.
