How to Build EVERY GREAT FOUR STAR - Ultimate Meta 4-Star Guide (additional units being added soon)

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 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!

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

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.

although other sets can be used (crimson witch, noblesse, gilded dreams) emblem is almost always recommended. for certain teams, the other niche use artifact sets can be used.

swap Xilonen for Kazuha when needing grouping. Swap Arlecchino for any other pyro DPS particularly Lyney or Klee if you prefer.

Swap for other Hydro and support options if desired. For furina team, you can add ANY attack scaling unit and make a very solid team.

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.

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.

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

Sapwood is unreliable but can be used for Alhaitham spread etc.

Al haitham can be swapped for most units, including a second hydro such as yelan or furina, or a DPS that doesn't interfere with the reactions. Hydro can be swapped for Yelan or Furina with various pros and cons for each.

Swap al haitham for Tighnari, or Yae for Fischl This is a team you want to use Instructors on

Great off field Hydro support and DPS. Great reaction enabler, solid damage, and decent defensive utility. Level burst above all else, skill does solid damage too.

Pretty much anything that gives stats or ER is good for Xingqiu. Always remember to have lots of ER.

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.

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

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.

5 star stat sticks are very strong, and there's a lot of good options. EM weapons are extra good in aggravate.

Can swap clorinde for other electro DPS, thoma for other off field pyro

Can swap arelcchino for other pyro DPS, and bennett for other electro/pyro supports or off field DPS

swap Clorinde for any electr DPS that can apply good electro such as Yae, Keqing, etc. Swap Kirara for any dendro, swap Xilonen for Kazuha or Sucrose.

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