This article will break down a basic build guide and team guide for all the best 4 stars in the game! you'll easily be able to choose your best artifacts, weapons, and teammates to make teams for all the best 4 stars in Genshin Impact.

Xiangling

Advertisement

Xiangling is a FREE character obtained from the Spiral Abyss in Genshin! and she's an amazing one to invest resources in. For most teams, her Constellation 4 is required to maximize her potential, but even before that she can be worth getting started building on. She is best used as an Off-Field DPS, or as a Pyro Applicator for powerful reaction teams. Build her now!

Keep in mind she needs a TON of energy recharge, depending on the team she may need anywhere from 150% ER all the way to 300% ER in a solo-pyro situation. Lots of things can affect this in your team, so you'll need to test out to find the right amount for yourself.

Level 90 is helpful but not needed, levelling burst as high as possible, take or leave skill, do not level normal attack.

Best Weapons

Engulfing Lightning
"The Catch"
Favonius Lance
A
Staff of Homa
Staff of the Scarlet Sands
Skyward Spine
B
Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
Deathmatch
Dragon's Bane
Ballad of the Fjords
Kitain Cross Spear
Missive Windspear

due to her high energy needs, an ER weapon is highly recommended for most players. When used with many other Pyro's or Raiden she can sometimes use a more damage focused weapon. Fav is always necessary if used as solo pyro.

Mualani
Xilonen
Xiangling

Xilonen not required but definitely the best option here. Final slot is a flex and can be a dendro, Mona, Candace, etc. Xiangling can run Archaic Petra and pick up xilonen's crystalize, or Instructors on this team. Xiangling doesn't care about doing damage on this team, only about ER.

Chevreuse

As long as she's used with electro and pyro characters on a Chevreuse team, she will do well. She can go with or without bennett here as Chev provides lots of pyro particles.

Kuki Shinobu

An amazing electro support and healer, most often used for dendro reactions. Very easy to build and max out.

Bennett

The best attack buffer in the game, AND a great healer. Should you activate C6? yes for meta teams, no for niche teams particularly cryo stuff with Ayaka or Eula. Level Burst above all else, worth crowning.

Mistsplitter Reforged
Aquila Favonia
Skyward Blade

Don't sleep on Skyward Blade for having a high base attack but also lots of ER.

Fischl

Fischl is a great off field sub DPS who is very easy to use, and provides solid off field damage and a surprising amount of energy to the team. She is best used in teams that can amplify her damage, such as Bennett/Chevreuse teams or Aggravate teams, but she can also be splashed in a variety of others since she's very self sustaining.

Focus on levelling her skill, although her burst does ok damage on cast so it's not bad to level. Ignore normals.

Less common these days, might get better with the 5.2 reaction buff

Chevreuse

Chevreuse is not only a very powerful character, but she's very easy to use and play as well. In addition, although many people feel like high contellation is necessary, even at C0 the resistance shred for Pyro and Electro damage, her Attack buff, and her Healing, are all very valuable. And with her C6 she also gives a powerful elemental damage bonus to those elements, increasing her value even more. To get this value, you simply need to create an overloaded reaction with someone on her team, and then use her hold skill.

Keep in mind she does not buff overloaded damage itself. Although it can sometimes be worth it to build overload on some characters, what Chevreuse does is best the raw talent damage that scales off attack, damage bonus, and crit, so that's what most of your units should be focusing on.

S
Favonius Lance
Black Tassel
A
Dialogues of the Desert Sages
Rightful Reward
Staff of Homa

Black tassle and favonius polearm are generally her best weapons, the latter providing energy to your other units and the former giving the most HP possible, which increases her healing and attack buff.

S
Song of Days Past
Noblesse Oblige
A
Ocean-Hued Clam
Advertisement

Noblesse is best, but usually someone else is using it and in that case song of days past is best since they don't stack. Clam is fine if you don't want to farm a new set.

The main thing about building Chevreuse teams is to have consistent pyro and electro application. If you have an on field electro unit, you want to make sure you have some off field pyro, and vice versa.
