Best Character To Choose For Lantern Lit Gathering
Your preference matters the most when choosing the free character! This guide merely takes into account the current game's meta to create recommendations.
Priority If You Don't Have The Character Yet
This ranking is based on the current meta and which characters are best to have immediately. Since Xiangling can be obtained for free through the Spiral Abyss, it's not recommended to get her through this.
Priority Based On Constellations
5-star tiered characters become significantly stronger the more constellations they, making them more of a priority to get than new characters. If you do not have either Xingqiu or Xiangling at C6, it's better to use this as an opportunity to increase their constellations.
Lan Yan is not recommended for constellations right now since she's a featured 4-Star character in the next banner. It's better to try for there instead!
