Best Four-Star Picks for Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact

When deciding which four-star character to choose during the Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact, it's crucial to consider both new players and veterans looking to enhance their constellations. Here's a detailed guide to help you make the best choice:

First and foremost, if you have a favorite character you're missing or wish to obtain a new constellation for, that should be your top pick. However, if you're open to suggestions, here are some of the best options available during this event:

Lan Yan is a standout choice, especially for those who don't yet have her. As a new Anemo shielder, she adds a layer of survivability to teams that prefer shields over healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao and Arlecchino. Moreover, with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, Lan Yan can shred enemy resistance, making her a valuable addition. If you're pulling for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banners, you might also have the chance to pick up additional copies of Lan Yan. Her second constellation significantly enhances her shield's regeneration, making her an even stronger asset.

For those looking at other strong options, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao are excellent choices:

• Yaoyao is a versatile Dendro healer, capable of keeping your entire team healthy. Her skill targets the active party member and can hit enemies, while her burst heals the whole team. She's ideal for teams focusing on bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning reactions and is highly effective even at constellation zero.

• Xingqiu is a top-tier sub-DPS unit, excelling in applying Hydro for freeze and vape teams. He also offers damage reduction and minor healing, making him a versatile and powerful character. His final constellation significantly boosts his capabilities.

• Xiangling is another sub-DPS unit but for Pyro, with her ultimate creating a pyronado that deals significant damage and applies Pyro for reactions. Most players will have at least one copy from Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her constellations, especially the fourth one, greatly enhance her power by extending her burst duration.

If you already possess these characters and their constellations, consider selecting a four-star character you need to further enhance. This way, you'll maximize the value of the free character selection during Lantern Rite.
