Summary
Genshin Impacthas provided a detailed overview of all the rewards that Version 5.3 will grant to its players, including a free glider, skin, and a 4-Star character from Liyue of their choice. It’s safe to say that Natlan has been generous towards theGenshin Impactcommunity. Not only did Version 5.0 introduce Capturing Radiance, but it also overhauled the Weapon Banner to favor players more strongly. Moreover,Genshin Impactallowed players to pick a Standard Banner character for free during its fourth Anniversary.
In a similar vein, the upcoming Lantern Rite is set to be a bit more charitable. In terms of content, it will introduce Lan Yan as a rattan weaver from Chenyu Vale, and will revolve around Hu Tao and Xiangling, with bothGenshin Impactcharactersset to receive alternate outfits. Much like previous Lantern Rites, players will be able to participate in a myriad of mini-games, including a combat event, and earn Primogems for completing its objectives.
The full slate of rewards was shared by the officialGenshin Impactaccount on Twitter, highlighting the 4-Star character selector for Lantern Rite. By completing the Flagship Event in Version 5.3, players will be able to invite a Liyue 4-Star of their choice, including Lan Yan. The login rewards for the Lantern Rite will grant players 10 Intertwined Wishes, while the in-game mail system will provide 1600 Primogems. Furthermore, participating in theLantern Rite inGenshin Impactwill unlock the new Xiangling skin for free. Lastly,Genshin Impactplayers will be able to claim the Xbox glider skin on any platform for a limited time.
Genshin Impact: Version 5.3 Rewards
Lantern Rite Selector
The Lantern Rite selector allows players to obtain a missing Liyue 4-Star, or one of their constellations. There are a fewnotableGenshin Impact4-Starsin this lineup, as Xiangling and Xingqiu are highly valued in both the Spiral Abyss and the Imaginarium Theater. If players want something more unorthodox, Yao Yao is a decent Dendro healer for those who lack Baizhu, who will also be present in the new Chronicled Banner in Version 5.3. In terms of hypercarries, Gaming scales well with his Constellations, and has amazing synergy with Xianyun.
Though players can also select Lan Yan via the Lantern Rite event, she can normally be obtained via the second half’s Event Banners for Version 5.3. From a gameplay standpoint,Lan Yan inGenshin Impactis the first Anemo Shield Support. Rather fittingly, her Shield can absorb other elements at the time of casting her Elemental Skill, and she gains an extra charge at C6. Version 5.3 is set to launch on Jun 05, 2025, but players will have to wait until its second phase for the Lantern Rite to officially begin.
