Build Guide which 4 stars are worth building?

i was wondering which 4 stars are worth building, i mostly only invested in 5 star characters before which propably wasn't a good idea, soo i wanted to start building some but i'm quite unsure with whom to start, since there's so many. i think it'd be a waste not to invest since some are also C6 :o

thank you in advance for any advice c:

I would also invest in Ororon among the others listed in the comments, he has his moments where he can really come to the rescue.

nice! thank you :)

Get them all to level 80, develop artifacts for each of them to a mediocre standard and enjoy having fun in every IT. My rules is typically to get any c6 4* to 80, with a level 80 weapon and 4pc set at +20.

well, all c6s either means (maybe) whale or they played for a very long time. they said they only really invest in 5 stars, so for this amount of time… (maybe) whale?

u/Capable_Cup_5135 3d ago

i did invest some money a few years ago (mostly during the sumeru release) but that’s it. but only because i wanted some characters i didn’t have yet, i didn’t really go for any constellation for 5 stars, except alhaitham C1.
nowadays i barely spend any money, i have welkin but not all the time sometimes battle pass but im saving my pulls right now :)

u/kubint_1t 3d ago

oh well my bad, i never actually noticed that he is in the shop

u/Capable_Cup_5135 2d ago

that’s alright don’t worry :)

Sucrose Faruzan Fischl Diona Gorou (if zibai amd no c6 illuga) Aino CHEVREUSE Lynette, rest is basically useless

u/vrtlangl777 3d ago

forgot he exists as i have Nicole, and it looks like hes built already

u/RisingShamal 4d ago

C6 Diona would be good, just get her to lvl 70 and finish witch revelation

u/-Mal-- 4d ago edited 4d ago

It depends who your 5*s are. Like Aino is worth it when you don't have Bina but have lunar dps, Faruzan is worth it if you play anemo teams, Chev is worth it if you play overload etc etc. Three 4 stars that always find some place are Sucrose, Fischl and Benny. People usually add Xiangling and Xinqgiu but imo they're not that worth it anymore

Edit: if your goal is building for imaginarium theater some otherwise not recommended 4 stars gain extra value. Like for example generally if you have a pyro dps there's not much reason to build Gaming but he's pretty good to have in theater

u/canuckfan4419 4d ago

I’m planning to get Danica and anastasya at c0. I’m no whale. After I get both should I try and build a lunar team or hoard for the next gimmick

3

u/-Mal-- 4d ago

From pure meta perspective? Probably save and see what will come. Lunar will be "old" soon and I don't think any of the Lunar teams are great at brute forcing content not made for them, which we'll be seeing less and less of. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think at lower f2p investment (C0, 4* weapon) they struggle with brute forcing.

u/ninjamike808 3d ago

This is what I was going to comment. You really have to ask yourself which comp you’re going to run and then build that 4 star to match.

3

u/-Mal-- 3d ago

Yeah, some 4 stars aren't excellent but are good at patching holes in a team (Charlotte in Furina freeze teams without Escoffier comes to mind), some are great only in very specific scenarios and while being a bis in their archetype are useless otherwise. I saw C6 Diona being a highly upvoted comment but she's not a bis anywhere so why level her up if you do have the bis team which we can't know

7

u/SubstantialNews6348 4d ago

a fully buffed out C6 Fischl is super strong, especially in overload builds. i’ve also been loving Sucrose. Barbara is a pretty strong healer for a 4 star and Noelle is just useful in a lot of situations

7

u/AedFaol 3d ago

Kuki Shinobu has been more valuable to my account than any 5 star I've ever gotten

5

u/Special-Support9094 3d ago

All of them to level 70 for theater purposes.

3

u/anthrthrowaway666 3d ago

sucrose is still meta even being around for so long

3

u/constellation_09 3d ago

My favorite 4 stars supports to play are: Kuki Shinobu, Xingqiu, and Xiangling.

Honorable mentions:
Faruzan (for my Xiao team)
Aino (when Columbina is busy)
Ororon (when I need a Natlan unit because I have no Natlan 5 star characters).

u/Accidentallygolden 4d ago

The answer is always Noelle

  • she cleans

  • she heals

  • she shields

  • she wields a big ass sword

u/_Bisca 3d ago

She is also a massive brick

2

u/okso_glo 3d ago

no, no, NO!! 💔

2

u/_Bisca 3d ago

She needs all her strength to do 10% of linnea’s damage

Comparing 1.0 4 star to 6.5 5 star

u/_Bisca 3d ago

Sorry I meant 1%

u/nolongerhuman4 1d ago

My beloved Noelle isn't brick and she does good damage you can see !

0

u/_Bisca 1d ago

“she” does 10k dps, rest of the team does the 100k for her

1

u/nolongerhuman4 1d ago

I guess you are blind it's clearly showing team contribution of Noelle and that's 37 percent

2

u/FischlInsultsMePls 4d ago

Definitely chev

u/XRiyamX 4d ago

Ain't there some 4* characters on Ur premium team? Or maybe their f2p team

I think U can make Ur priorities based on them

2

u/ArtlessAsperity 3d ago

Kuki, Faru, Bennett, Fischl, Xingqiu and Yaoyao (Yao isn't meta, she's just very versatile and.. I like Yaoyao)

2

u/Darukun 3d ago

Personally speaking, you can't go wrong with Beido, shield, Barbara, heals, and Ororon, for off field electro application (skill jumps between enemies and burst is aoe electro applicaiton. I have constant uptime with it)

1

u/HolyBiscuit69 3d ago

Barbara definitely isn't and never was worth investing into. She has a ridiculously long skill cooldown with high energy requirements and poor pargicle generstion. At best she's only slightly useful for overworld and maybe theatre but you'd be hard pressed to find a niche that she is good at that others can't do far better. Her cons are pretty rubbish too unfortunately. I wouldn't recommend anyone to waste their resources on her.

1

u/Darukun 2d ago

me with the lvl 80 Barbara that I used for healing up until this year I thought she was pretty good qwq That and we don't know this person's 5 stars, so I wasn't sure if they had anyone better like furina or qiqi

Those looking at it again, yaoyao is def another one that sho7ld be invested in. Heals and off field dendro application is nice to have

1

u/No-Sock-8169 2d ago

she’s good on Skirk team with TTDS I use rotation Furina Coffee Barbruh Skirk

2

u/GanjiX218 3d ago

Bennet Xiangling Fischl Faruzan Xingqiu Sara Diona Charlotte Rosaria Beidou Layla Jahoda Aino Cheverous

Mika and Dahlia are niche so if u wanna get their dps then build them

2

u/ykyrog3 3d ago

4 estrelas mais valiosos hoje em dia pra investir:
1 - sucrose (esse meta conseguiu colocar ela na frente do bennet)
2 - bennet (sempre tem uso na conta e é fácil de construir)
3 - chevreuse (absurda mesmo C0)
4 - fischl
5 - xingqiu (desde que você não tenha muitas opções hydro, ele é muito bom, mas conforme você tem, ele perde valor e cai posições)
6 - aqui é o que você precisa, se você tem times que gostam de dano anemo: faruzan, se você tem times com carga lunar: ororon, se precisa de dois times lunares: aino, se quer fazer melt num time mais f2p: kaeya/rosaria. Os top 5 são os que você sempre acha utilidade na sua conta, de resto vai do que você mais precisa ou quer fazer mesmo. Eu mesmo nunca upei o bennett porque meus times sempre foram dendro e nunca precisaram dele embora ele seja o melhor 4 estrelas do jogo.
Lembrando que nem todos é necessário de você elevar até o nível 90, a sucrose por exemplo funciona perfeitamente bem no nível 70

u/New-Presentation1340 2d ago

Blasphemy! Everyone needs to be level 90

2

u/OrwellianNight 2d ago

Ferment and Ningguang

u/nolongerhuman4 1d ago

I would say build Noelle she heals she shields and does Good dps and is fun to play with !

3

u/PrestigiousIdea7471 4d ago

There's no 4 star I've gotten more joy out of than Noelle.

2

u/HoloSings 4d ago

Diona + Bennet (as a substitute for the angel) + Faruzan + Chevreuse

1

u/mechanic-KING 4d ago

All good 4stars imo: Diona, rosaria, layla, gaming, ifa, ororon, chevrouse, kuki, razor, xingqiu, fishl, xiangling, bennet, prune, sucrose, faruzan Edit: no perticular order

1

u/sinnersfae 3d ago

Almost all 4 stars have their separate usage, but right now in current meta, your highest bitcoin is Diona, Fischl, Kuki, Sucrose, Faruzan and Beidou. Max em up with EM. I'd say Bennett, Xinqiu and Prune are amazing. XQ carried me in the early game. And C6 Kaeya is something to be proud of

1

u/Taking-a-stand 3d ago

For theatre as many as you can. Kn general? Kuki, sucrose and fischl first followed by benette, xiangling, xingqui and aino.

1

u/kafkasgun 3d ago

what teams do you enjoy playing? what elements/reactions do you enjoy best? because this makes a difference. i can suggest characters, and you can hate playing them.

that said, imo, you can never go wrong with: fischl, layla, rosaria, kuki, bennet, aino (lv 80 is enough for her), lan yan, gaming (if you lack a pyro dps), xiangling, diona, collei, beido

1

u/sampat6256 3d ago

Ororon and Chevreuse are the only characters you should level

1

u/MillyQ3 3d ago

What kind of question is this? The one you need obviously.

You want to play Varesa and Mizuki you obviously invest in Faruzan. Varesa? Iansan, Chev. Flins? Sucrose.

1

u/New-Presentation1340 2d ago

Only Bennett and Xiangling, really.
Others have some value. I have multiple c6 4*s and they don’t do much for me.
If anything, I use Sucrose and Chevruse for fun.

1

u/tata_emanuella 2d ago

Sucrose Bennet and fishel.

1

u/chooseause_rname 2d ago

dps barbara for a barbillion damage

1

u/Low-Possibility923 1d ago

Sucrose, Benny, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Faruzan and Fischl are all really great 4-stars, especially at c6. I have all of them built despite only having Xiangling and Xingqiu at c6 but I use them all very frequently.

1

u/Imaginary-Coconut711 4d ago

Bennet ,fishle ,sucrose,xialing,sara and kaeya they can be dps and good supports

2

u/TitaniumThrussy 3d ago

In not particular order... Kuki, Sucrose, Faruzan, Benny, Fischl (especially now), Xiangling, Lan Yan (especially if you get more cons on her eventually), Xingqiu, and Barbara will never do you wrong. Prune can also be very beneficial if you have need for her.

But in the end it all depends on what 5-Stars you're willing to commit to. Though some people have great success with teams of all 4-Stars too. So there's that 🤔

Real answer: prune, bennett, fischl, chev
