Best Four-Star Pick for Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact

Choosing the right four-star character during the Lantern Rite event in *Genshin Impact* is a crucial decision, whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned player aiming for constellations. Let's dive into the best options to help you make the most of this opportunity.

Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

First and foremost, if there's a character you're particularly fond of and don't yet have, or if you're looking to enhance a favorite with a new constellation, go ahead and choose them. However, if you're open to suggestions, we have some top picks for you.

A standout choice for many during this event is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, Lan Yan offers increased survivability for teams that prefer shielding over healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao and Arlecchino. Additionally, she can shred enemy resistance with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. Since most players won't have her yet, Lan Yan is a strong contender for a valuable addition to your roster. If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banners, you might also snag a Lan Yan or two. Her second constellation further boosts her shield's regeneration with normal attacks, enhancing her utility.

Beyond Lan Yan, three other excellent four-star options are Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Let's start with Yaoyao, a robust Dendro healer who can keep your entire team's health topped up. Her skill heals the active party member while also damaging enemies, and her burst allows for team-wide healing while you control her. Yaoyao is ideal for bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning teams and is highly effective even at constellation zero.

Moving on to the tried-and-true Xingqiu and Xiangling, both are among the best four-star units *Genshin Impact* has to offer. If you're missing either of these, they're stellar choices. Xingqiu is an outstanding sub-DPS who applies Hydro effectively, making him a staple in freeze and vape teams. He also offers damage reduction and some healing, becoming even more powerful with his final constellation.

Xiangling, another sub-DPS, specializes in Pyro. Her ultimate unleashes a pyronado that deals significant damage and applies Pyro for reactions. You receive a copy of Xiangling by clearing Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her constellations significantly enhance her capabilities. Aim for constellation four, which extends her burst duration by 40%, transforming her into a near-unstoppable force.

If you already possess all these characters, consider selecting a four-star for whom you need constellations. This way, you'll maximize the value of your free selection during Lantern Rite.
