Best Four-Star Character 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 new player or a seasoned veteran aiming for constellations. Let's dive into which character you should consider.

Which Four-Star to Choose in Lantern Rite Genshin Impact

If there's a character you're particularly fond of and don't yet own, or if you're looking to boost a favorite's constellations, that's your best bet. But if you're still undecided, here are some top recommendations.

For many players, the standout choice this time around is the new four-star, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, she adds a layer of survivability to teams that prefer shields over healing, such as those featuring Hu Tao and Arlecchino. Additionally, equipped with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, Lan Yan can shred enemy resistance, making her a versatile addition. Since most players won't have her yet, she's a strong contender for a pick.

If you're aiming for Arlecchino or Clorinde during their banners, you might also snag Lan Yan. Her second constellation enhances her shield by allowing it to regenerate through normal attacks, making her even more formidable.

Beyond Lan Yan, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Starting with Yaoyao, she's a robust Dendro healer capable of keeping your entire team healthy. Her skill heals the active party member while also hitting enemies, and her burst heals the whole team while you control her. Yaoyao is ideal for bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning teams and is nearly complete at constellation zero, meaning you don't need more copies to maximize her potential.

Moving on to the classics, Xingqiu and Xiangling are among the best four-star units in *Genshin Impact*. If you don't have them, they're excellent choices. Xingqiu, a Hydro sub-DPS, excels at applying Hydro for freeze and vape teams while offering damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation amplifies his already impressive capabilities.

Xiangling, a Pyro sub-DPS, unleashes a pyronado with her ultimate, dealing substantial 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, significantly enhance her burst's duration, turning her from strong to nearly broken.

If you already possess these characters, look at which four-star *Genshin Impact* characters you still need constellations for and choose accordingly to make the most of this opportunity.
