Best Free 4 Star Character For Lantern Rite Event

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

Tier	Characters
★★★★★
★★★★・
★★★・・
★★・・・

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.

5-Star Ranking Explanation

Xingqiu stands as the top pick since he's a versatile unit and can become stronger with higher investment. He can fit with most hydro-reaction teams, though he is limited by his Burst requiring the active character to deal normal attacks.

Yaoyao, on the other hand, is a great Dendro applicator with stable healing capabilities, while Gaming is a Pyro Main DPS with high damage capabilities.

Priority Based On Constellations

Constellation	Characters
★★★★★ C6
★★★★・
★★★・・
★★・・・

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.
