Choosing the right four-star character during *Genshin Impact*'s Lantern Rite event is a crucial decision, whether you're a seasoned player aiming for constellations or a newcomer building your team. While the ideal choice depends on your existing roster, we've got some top recommendations.
If you covet a specific character or need constellations for a favorite, prioritize them. Otherwise, the standout choice is the new Anemo shielder, Lan Yan. Her ability to boost survivability without relying on healing makes her invaluable in teams featuring characters like Hu Tao and Arlecchino. Furthermore, her resistance shredding capabilities, especially when paired with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, significantly enhance team damage output. Since she's a new character, most players will lack her, making her a compelling selection.
If you're aiming for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banner events, you might acquire Lan Yan constellations along the way. Her second constellation significantly enhances her shield regeneration, making her even more potent.
Beyond Lan Yan, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao are excellent choices. Yaoyao, a powerful Dendro healer, keeps your team's health topped off, offering both healing and damage potential. Her abilities synergize exceptionally well with various team compositions like Bloom, Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Spread, and even Burning teams. Best of all, she's incredibly effective even at Constellation Zero, eliminating the need for additional copies.
Xingqiu and Xiangling are established top-tier four-star units. If you lack either, they're highly recommended. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, applying Hydro for reactions and offering damage reduction and minor healing. He's a staple in Freeze and Vape teams. His final constellation further amplifies his power. Xiangling, another sub-DPS (Pyro), inflicts substantial damage and Pyro application through her Pyronado ultimate. While you can obtain her through Spiral Abyss floor 5, her constellations significantly enhance her capabilities, especially Constellation Four, which extends her burst duration by 40%.
If you already possess these characters, focus on obtaining constellations for any remaining four-star characters you desire. Don't miss this opportunity to strengthen your team!
