Best Four-Star Picks 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 to enhance your constellations. The event presents an excellent opportunity to bolster your team with some of the game's most versatile and powerful characters.

Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

First and foremost, if there's a character you adore and don't yet possess, or if you're looking to enhance a favorite's constellation, they should be your top pick. However, if you're open to suggestions, we have a few standout recommendations.

The spotlight this time shines on Lan Yan, the new four-star Anemo shielder. Lan Yan not only boosts survivability in teams that favor shields over healing, such as those led by Hu Tao or Arlecchino, but also enhances damage through the Viridescent Venerer artifact set's resistance shredding capabilities. As a fresh addition, most players won't have her yet, making her an attractive choice. If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banners, you might also snag a Lan Yan or two. Her second constellation allows her shield to regenerate with normal attacks, significantly boosting her utility.

Beyond Lan Yan, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao stands out as a potent Dendro healer, capable of keeping your team healthy. Her skill heals the active character while damaging foes, and her burst heals the entire team while you control her. She's perfect for bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning teams, and her effectiveness is maximized even at constellation zero.

Xingqiu and Xiangling are legendary four-star units in *Genshin Impact*. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, applying Hydro for freeze and vape teams, while also offering damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation amplifies his already impressive capabilities. Xiangling, another sub-DPS, unleashes a Pyro tornado with her ultimate, ideal for reaction-based teams. Her fourth constellation extends her burst's duration by 40%, making her nearly indispensable.

If you already have these characters, consider selecting one whose constellations you wish to enhance. This ensures you make the most of the Lantern Rite event's offerings.
