The 4-stars appearing on Genshin Impact banners look very enticing since all these three characters can contribute great value to teams and are very flexible to use.

When equipped with a 4-piece Viridescent Venerer, Sucrose can reduce opponents’ resistance to particular elements and group enemies with her abilities.

Xiangling can fulfill the role of Pyro DPS or as a Pyro driver to trigger vaporize reactions with Kamisato Ayato. The goal is to use Xiangling’s Elemental Burst along with Kamisato Ayato’s Elemental Skill or Burst.

Yunjin is a Geo support who can use her passive talents and Elemental Burst to provide an additional Normal Attack damage boost that will amplify Ayato DPS output.

Kamisato Ayato is a 5-star Hydro sword user who has great potential as the main damage dealer in teams. Like Childe, he can change stance during his Elemental skill, which immensely increases his normal attack speed. He can also use his Elemental Burst to either increase his on-field DPS or support other party members.

Venti is one of the best support characters on Genshin Impact rosters and is known for his crowd control abilities. The Anemo Archon can use his Elemental Burst to create a vortex that will pull in all the nearby enemies and trap them inside the vacuum.
