Lan Yan is the latest addition to Genshin Impact's Liyue roster, arriving as a 4-star character during this year's Lantern Rite event. Unlike previous events that featured new 5-star releases alongside 4-stars, Lan Yan offers a unique opportunity for players to obtain her completely F2P, as she can be claimed as a reward during the event. This accessibility, combined with her versatility, makes her a strong addition to many team compositions, particularly for players looking to expand their roster without relying on gacha pulls.
