The Lantern Rite Festival is officially back in Genshin Impact 3.4 with its third edition, and this year's event is called The Exquisite Night Chimes. It is one of the game's biggest and most popular events where fans can participate in various games and win rewards such as Primogems, Mora, Crown of Insight, and much more.

At the festival's end, Genshin Impact will also give out a 4-star character from Liyue for free in the Fortuitous Invitation event. It is a great chance to acquire your favorite character from the Land of Geo. This year, there are nine options to choose from, including Yaoyao.

Obtain 800 Festive Fever to get a free 4-star Liyue character in Genshin Impact Fortuitous Invitation event

This year's Lantern Rite Festival has brought many new and fun mini-games, and one of them is called the Fortuitous Invitation. You can invite any 4-star Genshin Impact character from Liyue for free to this event. While it is called a free unit, you will still need to obtain Festive Fever to be able to invite them by playing other mini-games at the Lantern Rite Festival.

Festive Fever is a special points system that can only be raised by playing all the mini-games of the Lantern Rite Festival event. Some of the mini-games are time-gated, so you will have to wait a few days to complete them. You can also check your point status by going to the event menu.

Once you have successfully attained 800 Festive Fever points, you can invite any 4-star character from Liyue. To take this step, go to the Festive Fever option in the event menu and click on Details in the top right corner to open the Fortuitous Invitation section.

This year, there are nine characters to choose from, including Yaoyao, who was recently added to Genshin Impact in the v3.4 update. You can pick any unit you like or someone you don't have, or even get a higher constellation to make them stronger. However, remember that a character can only be invited once and cannot be exchanged, so it is advised to choose carefully.
