Best Four-Star Characters for Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact

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

Which Four-Star To Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

First and foremost, if there's a character you're passionate about that you don't have yet, or if you're aiming to boost their constellations, that should be your pick. However, if you're looking for recommendations, we've got you covered.

The standout choice this time is the newly introduced four-star, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, she's perfect for teams that need a bit of extra survivability without relying on healers, such as those featuring Hu Tao and Arlecchino. Additionally, Lan Yan can shred enemy resistance with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, making her a versatile addition to your roster. Since most players won't have her yet, she's a strong contender.

If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banners, you might also snag a Lan Yan or two. Her second constellation enhances her shield by regenerating it during normal attacks, significantly boosting her effectiveness.

Beyond Lan Yan, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Starting with Yaoyao, she's a formidable Dendro healer capable of keeping your team healthy. Her skill targets the active party member while also damaging enemies, and her burst heals the entire team while you control her. Yaoyao is ideal for bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or even burning teams, and she's fully effective even at constellation zero.

Moving to the classic options, Xingqiu and Xiangling are among the best four-star units in *Genshin Impact*. If you're missing either, they're top choices. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, applying Hydro and fitting seamlessly into freeze and vape teams, while also offering damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation significantly amplifies his power.

Xiangling, another sub-DPS, brings Pyro damage with her pyronado ultimate, which is great for reactions. You receive a copy of Xiangling by clearing Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her constellations, especially the fourth one that extends her burst duration by 40%, make her incredibly potent.

If you already have these characters, consider which four-star you need constellations for and choose accordingly to make the most of this opportunity.
