Choosing the right four-star character during the Lantern Rite event in *Genshin Impact* is crucial, whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned player looking to enhance your constellations. Let's dive into the best options available this time around.

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 own, or if you're aiming to boost their constellations, that's your best bet. However, if you're looking for recommendations, we've got you covered.

The standout choice for many this Lantern Rite is the new four-star, Lan Yan. As an Anemo shielder, she not only bolsters team survivability without the need for healing—ideal for teams like Hu Tao and Arlecchino—but also enhances damage output by shredding enemy resistance with the Viridescent Venerer artifact set. 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 allows her shield to regenerate during normal attacks, making her even more formidable.

Beyond Lan Yan, consider Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Let's start with Yaoyao, a robust Dendro healer who can keep your entire team healthy. Her skill heals the active party member while also damaging enemies, and her burst heals the whole team while you control her. Yaoyao is perfect for bloom, hyperbloom, aggravate, spread, or burning teams, and she's fully effective even at constellation zero, meaning you don't need additional copies to maximize her potential.

Next up are the tried-and-true Xingqiu and Xiangling. These two are among the best four-star units in *Genshin Impact*. If you're missing either, they're excellent choices. Xingqiu excels as a sub-DPS, applying Hydro for freeze and vape teams, and offering damage reduction and minor healing. His final constellation significantly boosts his power. Xiangling, another sub-DPS, unleashes a Pyro tornado with her ultimate, dealing damage and applying Pyro for reactions. You receive a copy of Xiangling by clearing Spiral Abyss floor 5, but her fourth constellation extends her burst duration by 40%, making her nearly unbeatable.

If you already possess these characters, consider which four-star *Genshin Impact* characters you need constellations for and choose accordingly. This way, you'll make the most of the free copy offered during Lantern Rite.
