What character should you get this lantern rite if you dont have some of them yet? Comprehensive guide.

Xianling not included because you get her for free anyways. The guide doesnt mention constellations, you can decide what constellation is more valuable for you on your own. Just read what it says for your characters, and decide which one you want the most for your account in particular.

I already made my mind and will get Chongyun because i'm 6 months in and Kaeya and Qiqi are still my only Cryo units, and let's say Qiqi Cryo application might as well be non-existent for mechanics that needs heavy Cryo.

But if i'm getting him randomly while pulling for Columbina, i might go for someone else or additional constellation to turn Yaoyao C4, Gaming C5 or Xingqiu C2.

LadyNova012026-01-03 20:35

Good luck getting any cryo application with Chongyun as he has the slowest attack speed in the game as well as a notoriously low healthpool. Would not recommend

PaprikaCC2026-01-03 22:10

Well the cool thing about Chongyun is that you don't need to onfield him for the cryo application lmao. A friend of mine used Chongyun to give Skirk on field cryo app without committing her skill. Was central to their Dire Baptist clear (they have C1 Escoffier though).

Nice_promotion_1112026-01-03 23:52

Kaeya would still be more useful in that situation, the only use of chongyun there is for cryo app which is niche and only needed in certain Stygian bosses.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 20:54

XQ C2 is worth so much more than entire Chongyun. i mean, you do you, but i wouldnt do that, getting characters just because you need them now and not because they are a good addition to your account is a thing you'll regret doing. I did, but with what characters and weapons i choose to upgrade in early game

Azael_Ijima2026-01-03 23:11

You got a point, currently using an almost maxed out Yelan for Hydro application teams (Except in Nefer's team where Aino fill that role), but that C2 does look nice.

\+ I'm getting pretty low on Hero Wits after my recent investments on Durin, Varesa, Iansan and a few others, so getting yet another 4\* char waiting to be leveled may not be the wisest, thx for the tip.

madmaskman2026-01-03 22:28

Kaeya is a perfectly reasonable cryo applier though. Much better than chongyun, if you're just looking for cryo application. In fact, much better than him at pretty much everything, aside from meme builds.

I would only get chongyun if you like him, otherwise eh, just build your kaeya.

Azael_Ijima2026-01-03 23:08

Yep i use my Kaeya for the Chess weekly boss, he's good enough by himself there.
Ideally i'd like very much a Skirk or Wrio rerun someday, or getting a random Charlotte or Diona who can also provides some survavibility.

SF-UberMan2026-01-04 02:10

Only issue with Kaeya is getting his cons, which is easier said than done unless Paimon's Bargains comes into the picture.

No_Discussion84572026-01-04 04:49

i am worse. i am 7 months in and kaeya is the only cryo

Agreeable_Low_74032026-01-03 20:25

c3 xiangling or c2 lanyan? i dont use either of them

kinhearted2026-01-03 20:28

Xiangling is always must pick until she is c6. I wonder how people play without her, cuz most of the times you spend all your time to get c6 xiangling with r5 catch and premium emblem set.

MarcoCornelio2026-01-03 20:49

XL is strong. But we've had plenty of good/strong pyro DPS in the past.

Hu Tao first and Arle later made XL fairly redundant if you didn't need another pyro DPS.

kinhearted2026-01-03 20:52

Xl still reallt necessary cuz she enables a lot of teams like international, reverse melt and etc, you sometimes need someone for second abyss room. And in current abyss xl is reallt good. Im sure xl is still very needed especially for new players sooner or later you will need her

MarcoCornelio2026-01-03 20:53

She is strong, I'm not denying that. I'm just saying that you can play without her if you have another pyro DPS, because used to be pretty close to her in term of damage.

So no, she is not necessary. No character is.

kinhearted2026-01-03 20:54

Well yeah you can clear any content with ease but if we talk about benefit advantage and etc its my opinion

Bluecoregamming2026-01-03 20:49

I would argue C6 is only a must pick if you play Xiangling alongside another Pyro DPS. As long as you secure C4 you may want to consider other options more. u/Agreeable_Low_7403 has C3 XL already. Assuming they have not bought her from the shop yet, she appears in Paimon's Bargains Starglitter Exchange in January and July. Lanyan is never in the shop. Just something to weigh.

kinhearted2026-01-03 20:53

Im sure you wont use lanyan anytime soon, i like her but do you really need her now? I always regret not getting cons for xl xq fischl from the start

Bluecoregamming2026-01-03 21:00

i'm f2p, but I'm an old player so I don't use XL anymore outside of IT which she is always on the early easier floors. Neither Fischl. XQ is on my bloom team.

Anyways point is, it's all relative to the account. Personally if I had to choose I would choose XL C4 and then Lanyan C2 but if OP plays a lot of mono pyro / overload then XL C6 I'd maybe consider first. Not only is XL on the shop, Hoyoverse loves to rerun her and all 1.0 four stars in every banner they can to maximize salt... so, there's that lmao. Half joking

Agreeable_Low_74032026-01-03 21:02

i have c2 xl an im not using the shop for anything but more pulls

Agreeable_Low_74032026-01-03 21:01

i play without her by having c2 durin an i just never needed pyro for any of my dpses

parthmestry2026-01-03 22:14

I have Mavuika so my Xingling has been benched for almost a year now. Also the lunar shilled content doesn't really care for Pyro so no reason to use her.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 22:27

That is simply not true, both Mavuika and Durin are better options for application and buffing where your main dps is not pyro, and when it is pyro, bennet is more valuable than xl. Her uptime is actually ass, her energy requirement is too big to build her crits as high as possible, you need to have a lot of ER rolls. Her guoba is inconsistent, and her spinner burst feels like it doesnt hit half of the time because it rotates in the wrong direction. On top of that, she has no place in current meta teams besides overload, where she is just an option for those who dont have chevy. She is powerful, yes, but a bit dated. Too amazing as free unit, but when compared to other options, she fades a bit.

kinhearted2026-01-03 22:31

Bro we are talking about liyue 4★ selector. For newbies xl always preferred and just opens path to many possibilities and she will be useful in future like tournament or just your own expiriments. And comparing 1.0 char to meta 5-6.x char is just stupid thats not a sensation that they are better. Her uptime are fine if you play normally, and everyone farms emlem like half a year and already have good pieces for her. And in this comment section she compared to lan yan(basically useless kn current meta unit, with not game changing cons)

Kingpimpy2026-01-04 00:19

> I wonder how people play without her

i play since 1.0 and starting with 1.1 when she hit fs10 i NEVER used her

shes on the level 70-80 stuck pile and i refuse to build her

i beat everything without issues since ever pretty much

Lucariolu-Kit2026-01-04 03:12

Idk I hate xiangling and have never really used her even since early patches and I've had her c6 since foreve (pre inazuma), she's still lvl 70

JodoKast872026-01-03 20:38

If you got Durin, then Xiangling’s only use is IT.

Lan Yan is still one of the best shielders in the game. Especially good if you don’t have Zhongli.

If you have both Durin and Zhongli… then I guess whoever you like more. You probably won’t start using either of them due to a constellation.

I’m less knowledgeable about Lan Yan’s cons. I know Xiangling’s C4 is a major boost to her usefulness.

FreckledRed2026-01-03 20:47

How did Durin limit the existence of Xiangling? Nothing in this game revolves around one team and she's one of the best pyro units in the game

JodoKast872026-01-03 22:21

I left out a word, so sorry if it seemed like I was saying that Xiangling suddenly become irrelevant. I was trying to say that Xiangling’s only “meta” use left is in IT. You are absolutely correct that she is a really good unit and if OP doesn’t have Durin, they should 100% build Xiangling, but honestly, I can’t think of a single team that performs better with Xiangling in it instead of Durin when both units have equal builds. And Durin is going to get a little bit better too once his signature artifact set comes out next patch.

This is only from a meta standpoint. If someone likes Xiangling as a character and wants to use her. Go for it! There isn’t a whole lot of content in the game that encourages you to stick with the strongest units. But when you are facing really tough battles, you will likely want Durin over Xiangling. That’s all I was trying to say.

sloggermouth2026-01-03 23:10

Not so much as he limits her, more of the fact that now Durin and Mavuika both exist who are very highly sought after characters. Same situation as Xingui back then, was still good when yelan released, but started not being as needed since Furina as people at least had yelan or furina for increasing damage requirements.

Of course both of them are still great if you don't have the 5 Stars, it's just that those four 5 Stars are very popular and universal a lot of people have them or plan on pulling for them. (Hell, we're living in times where even Yelan is getting overshadowed because of the regional gimmicks)

Bunktavious2026-01-03 20:48

I personally love Lan Yan, and use her as a VV on my Mavuika Melt team. I love how her skill has a built in evasion move.

Her C1 improves her skill damage a bit, and 2 lets her partly restore her already great shield.

I think C4 is the big one, as her burst gives your party 60 EM for 12 seconds.

JodoKast872026-01-03 22:22

Nice! I never wind up wishing on a banner Lan Yan is featured in, so my only copy of her is what I picked up from last year’s Lantern Rite!

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 21:20

C2 lanyan is more valuable, you also can get xianling with starglitter, but you cant for lanyan

Agreeable_Low_74032026-01-03 21:37

not using gliter

Zealousideal-Lab19072026-01-03 20:25

I am getting Gaming C6 because he is my favourite pyro character and I do use him alot!

SofieMarie292026-01-03 20:40

Same here!

Vantre72702026-01-03 20:27

C2 xinyan iirc is actually okay, she has the exact same pyro app as mavuika (except no damage, way worse aoe and you lose it once the shield is broken), kinda useable in some teams
She def isn't the worst character in the game

JodoKast872026-01-03 20:41

I C6’d her and really honestly tried to make her work, but the results just weren’t worth the effort. Her physical damage buff is just completely wasted on her kit. Whatever stat she wants takes away from another part of her kit meaning of have to build her for one specific purpose and close off another part of her kit when you do.

That’s why I think she is the worst character in the game and her kit needs a complete rework.

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-03 20:42

Wouldn't it be worse Thoma then?

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 20:55

well then, whats the worst 4-star character in your opinion?

Vantre72702026-01-03 21:15

probably amber, despite her ability to shred cryo shields she's still really bad, I'd argue kaveh is also worse than xinyan

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 21:34

Kaveh is the only character capable of driving shatterbloom. He is also a perfect and only option for f2p bloom team with Xingqiu. He also has solid constellations and a crazy C4. He's a great replacement for Nilou and i wish i had him built when crab tsar was in the abyss. The only downside for kaveh is that he barely gets any reruns.

Amber at C1 allows you to play fall damage team, though that one requires a crazy amount of skill. Her C6 also buffs atk and movement, so she isnt that bad. Also, her machine gun playstyle is good for dealing with frostnight herra, with the frequency of her burst added, she is an amazing option for vape teams with hydro main for that boss, probably even better than mavuika or xianling.

So, those characters work in both niche and general scenarios, and have their place in the meta, even. All that while xinyan is trying to be thoma and eula at the same time, and fails at both. Her kit is so ass that there is no scenario where she is the best pick

Dardrol72026-01-03 20:32

Ningguang is the one Ive used rhe most out of these. 2nd is Xianling

Elemental_Titan92026-01-04 00:39

The most? In what way? I know she can block projectiles.

I only used her for her last assume skill and fought with her because she ended up on a team for exploring and an enemy saw us.

Dardrol72026-01-04 05:47

She actually deals great damage with her burst if her wall is up and she has some buffs going for her. Bennet, Xilonen and Furina are awesome

Balownga2026-01-04 07:16

My Ningguang have her signature weapon, [Memory of Dust](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Memory_of_Dust) that is, and deal insane damage, coupled with 60K HPs Geo daddy for resonance.

Shot from very far, auto lock and homing missiles, free charged attack and AOE impact. Block projectile and generate more shield, and so many shields makes your quite resilient.

Elemental_Titan92026-01-04 08:11

Ah okay. Well I got Zhongli so I an see if them as a pair are any good

cephalophoria2026-01-03 20:32

I use Xingqiu just as much as Xiangling. He's great. (No, I don't have Yelan.)

cartercr2026-01-03 20:33

Lanyan has big boobs so I’m choosing her.

I mean I also have c6 on the rest of them, but yeah.

Bluecoregamming2026-01-03 20:53

\**sigh* .. real

Notkiller2026-01-03 20:34

The ones with the constellations I am missing.

For me right now is like this: C6 C6 C6 C6 C6 C2 C5 C4 C4

LadyNova012026-01-03 20:36

I'm going for Lan Yan as I don't have many great Anemo units

TraditionalCucumber32026-01-03 21:05

She's quite good and at c2 she becomes very usefull

LadyNova012026-01-03 21:36

Well it would be a C0 as I don't have her yet but at least it's good info for the future

JDBCool2026-01-04 04:21

C4 is the Sucrose benching consideration

Elemental_Titan92026-01-04 00:36

Well look out for her. Aside from Zhongli and Citlali, she has such an incredible shield. And is like the first character I have built in order to use her shield.

I only I didn’t build Noelle because I don’t use geo. Diona doesnt count as I didn’t build her for her shield. And I finally got Zhongli, so it will be a while before I can fully build him for emergencies.

Abgott892026-01-05 18:09

Lan Yan is an amazing support, especially for new players. She can bring both TTDS and VV buffs to the party, while also providing thick shields.

BandicootFar41262026-01-03 20:36

I will grab C6 Xingqiu for sure.

My Lanyan and Xiangling are still C0 though :(

But I wait for 4* drops on standard or limited banners to upgrade slowly my Liyue characters.

I'm just 15 months old player and I have almost all the 4* I wanted, at least at C0.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 20:57

XQ C6 is a very good pick, other options you listed dont come close

BandicootFar41262026-01-03 21:17

For sure 👍

I was just unlucky on last XQ rerun (6.1 Furina banner iirc) didn't get this last copy. He is C5 since 5.8.

Next I will Focus on Xiangling I guess but upgrading her from C0 is tough, she always reruns on banners I skip.

Rat_itty2026-01-03 20:39

Jokes on everyone, I'm taking my C5 Xinyan because I love her

hollyherring2026-01-04 02:58

I was hoping she would be the one to get a new outfit since she’s one of the older characters. [Xinyan with her hair down](https://m.hoyolab.com/#/article/34283855) looks so good!

Uday01072026-01-03 20:40

C6 Gaming will finally be mine.

SaltyPotato3402026-01-04 09:26

Could have just pulled on the current banner and gotten 5 of him and 0 chev or iansan. No, I'm not salty

Bunktavious2026-01-03 20:44

The only ones I don't have are the first three.

It's going to be Beidou.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 20:58

Electro Xingqiu, nice choice Sir/Ma'am

CidOmega2026-01-03 20:47

As a Xinyan lover I'm highly offended by the accuracy of your words 😭

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 21:02

the truth is hard to swallow, but hey, you can still build her and play in overworld. Genshin is beautiful for that, you can just ignore almost entire kit and make anything out of your chars and it would work. It may not be good, but its fun to play as your favorite character. So go and have fun! This post was not about having fun, but rather about value of the decision

hollyherring2026-01-04 02:49

I threw my R5 Redhorn on Xinyan just for fun, and I was pleasantly surprised

Gregamonster2026-01-04 08:04

*points at flair*

GuestCapable55502026-01-03 20:49

Gonna be c6ing my xingqiu with this one finally 😌

ClutteredSmoke2026-01-03 23:11

C5 for me unfortunately, but I’m happy that it’s just a bit closer to c6

sparklinghero2026-01-03 20:51

C6 Yaoyao and Gaming are GAME CHANGER (after Xingqiu C6 obvs)

Shad_dai2026-01-03 20:56

Why'd you prioritize NA for Gaming over burst?

You don't do NAs unless you use Xianyun cause you juggle, and even with Xianyun you can only weave in NAs in vape.

No mention of Fav for some supports, no mention of TTDS.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 22:10

Gaming is the only one that i dont have, so i went with online guide to write him. I do have and played all the rest. Fav weapons are kind of a default option for every support, no?

I didnt want to write a guide that basically says "Support = favonius" because whats the point? You might have a battery on your team, and some characters here have low enough energy requirement. Not everyone requires fav, and often craftable options are just better. You can have 3 supports on the team, but only one is required to have fav. When i have double fav in my team, i drown in energy, literally, i just cant stop bursting!

Same goes for TTDS, its not a good option for the support itself, you can just slap it on any catalyst user. TTDS' effect is not for the equpping character, its for your main dps. And many main dps's dont care about attack. I wanted to recommend ppl the most versatile builds that would work in any team. Priority was set on 4\* weapons and craftables. If i recommend TTDS lanyan and someone would want to use her for their neuvilette team, it wont do anything, so that is not a good general advice

Also, thats simply not true, i recommended Fav on XQ, Beidou, Chongyun and Yun Jin, thats 4 out of 6 supports, so my Fav recommendation rate is 60%. That is slightly higher than "no mention".

Shad_dai2026-01-03 22:22

>Fav weapons are kind of a default option for every support, no?

If you mention Fav for some supports and don't for the others, for new players it can leave an impression that said support doesn't hold Fav.

>Not everyone requires fav, and often craftable options are just better.

Fav >>> anything else on Yao Yao.

>You can have 3 supports on the team, but only one is required to have fav

More Favs in the team alleviate the ER% on the carries and supports that care about it, allowing to divert extra rolls on all of them into other stats. There's no reason to run only one Fav per team if the team cares about ER%.

>I wanted to recommend ppl the most versatile builds that would work in any team

That's why Ningguang has an EM mainstat catalyst as recommended? What she gonna do with that? Fontaine craftable exists and not mentioned

>And many main dps's dont care about attack

There's less main DPS that don't care about ATK than the ones who do. Neuvilette and Mualani are like the only ones who don't. Just mentioning that any catalyst support can hold TTDS for the main carry would be nice.

K_o_n_e_k_o2026-01-03 21:00

Yunjin is pretty good tho

Elemental_Titan92026-01-04 00:41

She is? But doesnt she require certain characters? Or was I thinking of the General of Inuzuma?

K_o_n_e_k_o2026-01-04 01:00

She's good for a lot of normal ATK dps

hollyherring2026-01-04 03:00

She was a core member of my Noelle team until I got C2 Xilonen.

_Abstinence_2026-01-03 21:02

Hm....which C7 do I want...?

Decisions decisions...

THEosamabinrussel2026-01-03 21:04

Id 100000% get c6 gaming I live for pyro

aliskyart2026-01-03 22:03

I guess I’ll get a C3 Lanyan?

I already have C6 of Xiangling, Xinque, Yaoyao, Yanfei, and Ningguang and I believe Chongyun

Dracorvo2026-01-03 22:24

C6 Yun Jin for Yoimiya.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 22:43

Thats actually really good pick then! But the post is about getting a first copy of a character, so that isnt the same

Elemental_Titan92026-01-04 00:33

Oh man, I really hope Yoimiya or Lyney comes back. I don’t want to keep going to Amber for a Pyro bow character.

Dracorvo2026-01-04 01:16

Sadly Yoimiya was never exceptional, and has really fallen off. I love playing her when she works, but having to run a shielder so she can do her full 5NA string really restricts her teams.

Elemental_Titan92026-01-04 02:39

I don’t care. I liked her character. Meta isn’t the only thing that matters. But yeah I understand if she isn’t easy to use. I suspect my dear Lanyan with be useful to her. I just want another Pyro bow character.

I missed out on Lyney when he came around.

Dracorvo2026-01-04 02:55

I like her too, it's why I pulled for her and got my Yun Jin to C6. Just sad she's not as useful as others.

jademarlodotcom2026-01-04 07:31

Shielder for 5NA string is now really limited to her vape teams. If you run her in Chevruese overload teams (most fitting way to play her, fireworks/firecrackers go boom), you can dodge just fine because all her NAs hit hard, and not just her 1st, 3rd, and 5th like in vape teams.

Put in Durin and Fischl in there, and you have Hexerei buff on top on Chevy's, plus you are free from Bennet's circle impact that way.

SilencedStars2026-01-04 01:44

As a yoimiya and Lyney haver, just get Lyney. When you do his Combo, he out dpses yoimiya by ALOT. Imo yoimiya is really only food for farming spectres

Elemental_Titan92026-01-04 02:40

Keeping that in mind. Lyney first.

But yeah I’d go for either.

Ecchify2026-01-03 22:24

c6 gaming is really strong on sheet calcs, is he actually that good? i think the gcsim tcers are tripping cause why is he outdamaging arle 💀

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 22:31

he does get 20% cr and 40% cd on the only attack that does damage with C6. If you run him with MH, thats free 56% cr right there. He also has pretty high multipliers, and indeed, high investment C6 Gaming can outdamage F2P Arle with mid investment

The_Maedre2026-01-03 22:36

He's extremely good if played well...which is not easy at all, unlike Arle who is pretty straight forward.

Arle only reacts a portion of her damage while Gaming melts his every single hit, and melt scales really well with investment+Citlali is broken, so it's not that hard to imagine him surpassing Arle on sheet calcs.

Suppai_Lemonade2026-01-03 22:32

Decided to choose Gaming and it’s gonna be the second time I pick him on lantern rite. He will be only C5…

A3thern2026-01-03 22:35

C6 Xingqiu is tempting, but Chongyun has been evading me for a while now.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 22:44

You are missing out on nothing trust

Ori-142026-01-03 22:38

I have Furina, Aino, Mona, nd gonna pull for Columbina, knowing this, is it worth to go for XQ? Otherwise I'll grab Lan Yan for the shield...

PEAceDeath14252026-01-03 22:47

Well, xq is indeed not the best pick for your account. Thats why i gave descriptions to what role each character occupies in a team, so you can think if you already have that role filled, and if yes, consider other characters. Lan Yan is perfectly reasonable for you, go for it. But think about it for a bit, you may also need Yao Yao if you want to play L-bloom Columbina

IHeartBadCode2026-01-03 22:44

Question. Yun Jin. I kind of just want her to have her, so obviously that's who I'm likely to pull and just have fun walking around.

I've got C6 Yanfei, C6 Xianling, C6 Xingqiu. I've got everyone else except Yun Jin and Xinyan at various constellations.

So when I get Yun Jin, is she any good or she's just someone to help complete my collection? My current Geo team is Noelle, Furina, Xilonen, and Gorou. I don't think she'd slot in there to replace anyone.

PEAceDeath14252026-01-04 00:55

Yun jin buffs normal attacks, as written on the pictures (you seen the pictures beyond the first one, right?), she isnt strictly about geo teams. Between yun jin and xinyan, yun is a clear winner

hollyherring2026-01-04 03:16

I hope your Xilonen is C2…

I run the same members on my Noelle team and swap (C6) Yun Jin in for Xilonen in two-team content where Xilonen gets pulled to my Mavuika team.

Mazza_mistake2026-01-03 22:48

I’m getting Lan Yan as she’s the only one I don’t have

I'm missing Chongyun, Ning Guang and Lan Yan... but I'll get another Xingqiu con because he just doesn't want to come home unless I buy him from the shop.

Sireanna2026-01-03 23:25

Lan yan is the only character I dont have at C6 soo... that one

EvlGniz2026-01-03 23:28

zajef hop off ur alt

xkoreotic2026-01-03 23:45

Everyone except Xingqiu and Yaoyao should be rated as "if you want to make a team with them." Xingqiu for obvious reasons, but Yaoyao is a strong dendro off field support and is equally as versatile.

Top_Independence_7002026-01-03 23:52

I love Yanfei so si will probably go for her.

BrandNewKitten2026-01-03 23:56

Yun Jin is a fine character. She isn’t the best for meta teams but if you enjoy a certain character’s normal attack animations she can help you build a playstyle around that for any character really.

esmelusina2026-01-04 00:29

Xingqiu and Xiangling to C6 before considering anybody else.

Rezboy2092026-01-04 00:31

I'm going with Lan Yan because i love her design and she's the only one I don't have

carnoalfa2026-01-04 00:32

I just got lanyan to c2.

But seeing how the 4 star buff affected their c6 i'll get my yanfei to c5.

Xingqiu and xl are x6, and i don't use gaming.

Citronsaft2026-01-04 00:46

I don't have xingqiu yet, but I do have C5 lan Yan relatively well built and am trying to decide between those two. I already have zhongli. No good hydro units yet but I plan on pulling for bina and zibai. Any tips on which one to get, between C0 xingqiu and C6 lan Yan?

PEAceDeath14252026-01-04 00:51

She just gets an additional E, i dont think that beats C0 XQ, go for him

FadedSatyr2026-01-04 00:50

I think I’m going to get Xiangling, purely cause she’s C5, so if I can get here C6 then if I pull her, I can get that new thingy meaning I can upgrade one of my other characters (I think)

PEAceDeath14252026-01-04 01:00

You dont get the masterless fortuna from 4-star characters, only 5-stars. Thats the name of the item that you use to get chars to lvl 100. C6 xl is cool tho, go for it if you already have xq, yao and lanyan

LordDhaDha2026-01-04 00:50

I’m going for Yun Jin cause it’s an yearly tradition at this point. Everyone else, even ones released after her are all c6 somehow

sir_nyt4092026-01-04 00:55

“Build: why?” Lmao 😂

Dependent-Wind66082026-01-04 00:56

Personally, if I didn't have them, I'd get Xingqiu. Amazing hydro app, easy to use, dmg reduction... etcetc. However, I have him C6'd, so I'm getting another con for my main Yanfei.

victreebe12026-01-04 01:03

Confused bw C1 XQ and C2 Lanyan and Chongyun. I've C0 XL, C0 XQ, C1 Lanyan.

LocationSuperb88762026-01-04 01:09

I'm choosing Lan Yan because I like her and she's the only one who's leveled up a bit. Otherwise, I would have chosen Yaoyao, but I have her at C3 and I don't have any Lan Yan constellations. But I don't use any of them since they're useless in lunar-charged or Pyro dispersion with Venti and Durin.

Expert-Love51162026-01-04 01:41

I have a c6 chongyun and a c6 xingqiu that I NEVER use.

DuplexBeGoat2026-01-04 01:58

Worth mentioning that Xingqiu is available twice a year from the Starglitter shop, while Gaming isn't.

No_Flower60202026-01-04 02:07

I wonder how many will get Gaming seeing clears of him in endgame combat then realize how hard and annoying he is to use and just give up halfway through.

MightySamMcClain2026-01-04 03:32

It's a shame ninguang sucks so bad

PEAceDeath14252026-01-04 10:16

I'd say she is the best of the worst. She has her own strengths. But she is indeed bad - when i get her at AR21 and tried to play her, i didnt see much potential and switched her back for lisa

tavinhooooo2026-01-04 04:18

Most of the time you will use TTDS for lanyan

rin_miku_karma2026-01-04 04:21

how does one make a four star guide and specifically not include constellation breakpoints

The-Local-Lucario2026-01-04 04:56

Since you mentioned that Yaoyao doesn’t make crystalflies fly away, you should probably also mention that lan yan does the same thing too

The-Local-Lucario2026-01-04 05:01

The irony that the best and worst 4-star dps are both pyro characters from liyue

notolo6322026-01-04 05:19

This is overall a good info table, but there are some outdated things

1. Xingqiu is great, but no longer for his off field damage. What he excels at is Hydro application, especially at C6. This alone makes him more desirable in some comp when compared to the 5* counterpart Yelan. In most of his best teams recently he barely does any meaningful damage. And his application doesnt even have to come from normal attacking, just stay close to the enemy already applies a ton

2. In contrast to Xingqiu, Beidou is on the team purely for damage. She is never in competition with Kuki because of this fundamental difference. And a big caveat to her kit is that she heavily favors AoE contents that are groupable.

3. A little extra about Chongyun's kit that not many people notice: his ice field gives CD reduction. Iirc this is the only CD reduction in the game, and it might get some use in niche teams

PEAceDeath14252026-01-04 10:07

I did write that xq has a ton of hydro application first, and that he has good damage second... and he really does do good damage. Not as big as needed sometimes, but certainly better than Aino. As for Beidou, the only time in endgame where there are aoe contents that are groupable is when Venti's banner is up and they shill for him so people pull. Imo not worth leveling her up just for that

gaelaxyyy2026-01-04 05:26

I'm actually torn of who to pick between C6 Yaoyao and C2 Lan Yan, who would be ideal to pick?

Jumpy_Locksmith_96922026-01-04 05:30

I have xingqui at c5, xiangling at c3, lanyan at c5 and gaming at c1. I am going to get gaming cause others I can pull from shop.

String_Of_Death2026-01-04 05:55

I guess a C5 Xiangling wouldn't be so bad.

inkursion582026-01-04 06:00

C6 Lan Yan. I want that third E. She has surprisingly high burst dmg. Running her as a dps with Sacrificial Fragment is hella fun.

-AnythingGoes-2026-01-04 06:58

Better watch your back talking about Xinyan, Beidou, Yunjin, and Ning like that.. 😡

Turnonegoblinguide2026-01-04 07:01

Beidou is quite a bit more usable than Yanfei or Chongyun imo, definitely fits more with Yaoyao and Lan Yan. But besides that great guide!!

Asj-the-great20042026-01-04 07:05

My gaming is C5, so I am getting his C6 this time, Playing theatre made me realise his potential and is working on his team... Btw, is Mailed Flower or Rainslasher good for him, or my 5 star claymore like Wgs or Skyward better, I am not pulling the hook bcz of Ineffa and Columbina banner...

Professional_Tea6372026-01-04 07:41

My yanfei is doing 150k with the right setup. A little bit of investment but very satisfying to pull off.

--Sekiro--2026-01-04 14:12

Yun Jin - I don't have her
