Best Four-Star Character Picks for Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact

Choosing the right four-star character during the Lantern Rite event in *Genshin Impact* is crucial, whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned player looking to enhance your constellations. Let's dive into the best options for you.

Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

First and foremost, if there's a character you adore but don't have, or if you're eager to boost their constellations, go for them. However, if you're looking for recommendations, we've got you covered.

The standout choice for many this time is the new four-star, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, she not only enhances survivability in teams that prefer shielding over healing—like those with Hu Tao and Arlecchino—but also shreds enemy resistance when equipped with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Since most players won't have her yet, she's a strong addition to your roster. If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde, you might snag a Lan Yan or two. Her second constellation regenerates her shield with normal attacks, making her even more formidable.

Next up, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Starting with Yaoyao, she's a potent Dendro healer who can keep your team healthy. Her skill heals the active party member and hits enemies, while her burst heals the entire team while you control her. Yaoyao is perfect for bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning teams and is highly effective even at constellation zero.

Moving to the veteran four-stars, Xingqiu and Xiangling are among the best *Genshin Impact* has to offer. If you're missing either, they're excellent choices. Xingqiu, a Hydro sub-DPS, excels in freeze and vape teams, providing damage, Hydro application, damage reduction, and minor healing. His final constellation significantly amplifies his power.

Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, unleashes a pyronado with her ultimate, dealing damage and applying Pyro for reactions. You receive a copy of Xiangling by clearing Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her constellations, especially the fourth one, which extends her burst duration by 40%, make her nearly unbeatable.

If you already have these characters, consider which four-star *Genshin Impact* characters you need constellations for and choose accordingly. This way, you'll make the most of the Lantern Rite event's free character opportunity.
