Lohen is a 5-star, on-field Cryo DPS who enters a "Masterstroke" state after using his Elemental Skill. In this state, his Normal and Charged Attacks are infused with Cryo, allowing him to apply the element rapidly. He gains "Joy" stacks by hitting enemies, while his teammates generate "Will to Win" stacks when they deal damage. These stacks are consumed by his Special Skill and Elemental Burst, respectively.

Due to his "Hexerei: Secret Rite" passive, it's recommended to include another Hexerei member in his team for optimal performance.

Lohen's Tier & Rating

Overall Tier
S
On-FieldOff-FieldDPSSupportSustain
S-S--

Lohen is an On-Field Cryo DPS whose special Skill infuses his Normal and Charged Attacks with Cryo. He gains "Will to Win" stacks when his teammates deal damage, and then gains "Joy" stacks when he hits enemies. Lohen can rapidly apply Cryo onto enemies, making him an excellent Cryo reaction enabler. He currently synergizes best with Durin (in Dark Mode) and Nicole. As a Hexerei character, his ideal teams should include at least one other Hexerei teammate to activate his "Hexerei: Secret Rite" passive.

Lohen's Roles, Playstyle, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Lohen Genshin Impact

On-Field Cryo DPS for Hexerei Teams

Lohen gains a decent buff when paired with other Hexerei characters, since they activate each other's Hexerei: Secret Rite passives. This gives a lot of incentive to ensure Lohen's teams include one other Hexerei teammate, but it can also be limiting.

Pros and Cons of Cryo DPS Lohen

Pros
- Straightforward gameplay due to his uncomplicated mechanics.
- Simple to build, as he primarily focuses on ATK% and CRIT stats.
Cons
- Requires Hexerei teammates for optimal performance, which restricts team-building options.
- As a Normal Attack DPS, mastering his optimal attack combo can be challenging, similar to characters like Skirk and Varka.

Best Build for Lohen

Lohen's best setup is one where he's built to be the On-Field DPS and Driver of a team that's complemented by synergistic Off-Field Sub-DPSes. See below for our top recommendations:

WeaponDisaster and RemorseDisaster and Remorse

Stat Goals For On-Field DPS or Driver Lohen

CRIT Rate / DMG80%~ / 160%~
ATKat least 2,000~
Energy Recharge (ER)100%~

Since he's designed to be a DPS, having a balanced CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio is key to having consistent damage output. Since he has a lot of hits, he can stay at 80% CRIT Rate but going up to 100% is also acceptable.

Best Weapon for Lohen

As an On-Field DPS, Lohen still prefers weapons that can increase his damage potential. See below for our top recommendations:

Premium Weapons for Lohen

WeaponHow to Get
Rating
BestDisaster and RemorseDisaster and RemorseGet from Limited Banners
- Lohen's Signature Weapon.
- Its CRIT Rate main stat makes it easier to achieve a balanced CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio.
- The passive provides a DMG% boost for all of Lohen's main sources of damage: Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Skill, and Burst.
- He can easily maintain full uptime on the buffs in a regular rotation.
- The weapon has a Hexerei: Secret Rite effect that further increases the DMG% buffs given, so it's highly recommended to have another Hexerei member in the party to enable this part of the passive.
- Remember to finish Lohen's Witch's Homework quest so that he is considered a Hex unit.
2ndPrimordial Jade Winged-SpearPrimordial Jade Winged-SpearGet from Banners
- The CRIT Rate main stat helps Lohen achieve a balanced CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio, which is always desirable for DPS characters.
- The passive provides a stacking ATK% buff (up to 7 stacks) when hitting an enemy, and a DMG% increase at max stacks. Lohen can easily reach the maximum stacks.
- One of the most versatile CRIT polearms for ATK-scaling DPS characters.
3rdStaff of HomaStaff of HomaGet from Limited Banners
- The CRIT DMG main stat is highly valuable for a DPS, allowing you to focus more on CRIT Rate from Artifacts.
- Provides an ATK% buff based on the wielder's Max HP. This is still a decent buff even though Lohen doesn't actively build HP% on his Artifacts.
- Another versatile CRIT polearm that is viable on most ATK-scaling damage characters.
4thSkyward SpineSkyward SpineGet from Banners
- The Energy Recharge main stat is a viable option if Lohen's optimal rotation includes his Elemental Burst.
- The passive increases CRIT Rate and Normal Attack Speed, which is highly beneficial for a Normal Attack-dependent character like Lohen.
5thLumidouce ElegyLumidouce Elegy
Fractured HaloFractured Halo
Calamity QuellerCalamity Queller
Get from Limited Banners
- Other polearms that give ATK% or CRIT through their main stats or passives can be good alternatives.
- While Lohen may not be able to access some specific buffs tailored for other characters, these weapons are still viable options if they are otherwise unused.
6thDeathmatchDeathmatchGet from Battlepass
- A CRIT Rate main-stat weapon with a passive that provides an ATK% buff, which increases when there are fewer than 2 enemies nearby.
- At Refinement Level 5, this weapon can perform as well as some 5-star options for Lohen.
7thSacrificerSacrificer's StaffGet from Limited Rate-Up Banners
- A weapon with a CRIT Rate main stat.
- ATK and Energy Recharge are increased every time the wielder's Skill hits an enemy (max 3 stacks), both of which are stats Lohen can utilize.
- Only available on weapon banners where it is a featured 4-star weapon, making it difficult to acquire refinements.
- Performs best at Refinement Level 5.

Lohen works well with most offensive polearms that have ATK% buffs in their passives. CRIT-focused weapons are also a great option, even if Lohen can't trigger their passive effects, provided no one else on your roster needs them.

Free-to-Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Lohen

WeaponHow to Get
Rating
Best F2P (Wish)White TasselWhite TasselGet from Banners or From Liyue Chests
- A 3-Star polearm with a rare CRIT Rate sub-stat, making it valuable if you have no other usable weapons for Lohen.
- The Normal Attack DMG% buff on the passive is also well-suited for Lohen, as he spends most of his field time using Normal Attacks.
2nd (Forge)Crescent PikeCrescent PikeMondstadt Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon
- A niche craftable option.
- The Physical DMG Bonus main stat isn't ideal since Lohen's attacks deal Cryo DMG.
- The additional damage from the passive is applied as an extra hit rather than a direct buff. Since Lohen attacks quickly, this can lead to a decent DPS increase that is sufficient for early or mid-game content.

For F2P options, Lohen's ideal choices are polearms with CRIT stats. This makes White Tassel an appealing option due to its CRIT Rate sub-stat and useful passive on a fairly accessible weapon.

All Weapon List

Lohen Best Artifacts

Like with his weapons, Lohen will want to prioritize sets that amplify his damage-dealing abilities rather than his utility. See below for our top recommendations:

ArtifactRecommendation
Details
A Day Carved From Rising WindsA Day Carved From Rising Winds ★★★★★
-The best set for Hexerei characters, which applies to Lohen after you finish his Witch's Homework quest.
- ATK% and CRIT Rate buffs, which are all stats that an On-Field DPS like Lohen wants from a set.
- This is the best generic option for Lohen that can be used across all his teams.
Blizzard StrayerBlizzard Strayer ★★★・・
- An alternative to the DPS Hexerei set.
- Gives CRIT Rate when the enemy is affected by Cryo, and more if the enemy is frozen.
- Viable for Lohen in freeze teams, but not ideal for other setups.
- Enemies with a permanent elemental aura do exist, and can be seen in endgame modes as well, which makes it harder to maintain this set's passive.
Marechaussee HunterMarechaussee Hunter ★★・・・
- A set that gives a Normal and Charged ATK% DMG buff on the 2-piece effect, and a generous CRIT Rate increase on the 4-piece, provided the party has consistent HP fluctuation, which is only possible if Furina and a healer are on the same team with Lohen.
- Locks Lohen to Furina teams, which might not even be his intended premium team.

Prioritize Offensive Stats

For damage optimization purposes, Lohen's ideal combos usually do not involve his Burst, so it isn't necessary for him to prioritize building enough Energy Recharge. You can instead simply look for Artifacts with damage-type stats such as ATK%, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG.

Details
- Lohen's rapid Cryo application enables Durin's Dragon of Dark Decay mode to trigger Melt.
- Durin is a decently strong Sub-DPS in his Melt mode due to all his self-buffs.
- Citlali provides Pyro RES shred.
- Nicole's teamwide ATK buff benefits both Durin and Lohen, who are the primary damage dealers on the team.

Being a Hexerei character, Lohen is intended to be played alongside other Hexerei teammates in order to activate his Hexerei: Secret Rite passive. Since he applies a lot of element quickly, he's able to pair well with Durin in his Dragon of Dark Decay state.

At the same time, Citlali shreds Pyro for Durin, and Nicole rounds out the team with her shield and ATK% increases, which also benefits Lohen.

Lohen's Team Rotations and Combos

Basic Team Rotation with On-Field DPS or Driver Lohen

Basic Rotation of On-Field DPS or Driver Lohen
1. Start the rotation with your supports and sub-DPS characters, ordering them from the longest to shortest ability duration.
2. Swap to Lohen and activate his Skill to enter his special state.
3. Use Normal and Charged Attacks to build stacks. Use his Special Skill whenever it's available.
4. Use his Burst.
5. Repeat from Step 1.

This is Lohen's basic, non-optimized combo that makes full use of his kit mechanics. Since Lohen is an On-Field DPS, he's usually deployed at the end of the rotation after all support abilities have been activated.

Optimal Lohen Combos

Note: Some combos may be updated as further testing is made!

Use this combo if your Lohen is at base investment without Constellations or Signature Weapon. It's a combo that aims to maximize the team's DPS window by leveraging Lohen's ability to serve as a Driver for his Off-Field Sub-DPSes.

His Burst does not contribute a lot towards his personal DPS so you can opt to use it every other rotation.

This combo does not make use of his Special Skill or Burst, instead focusing on squeezing out as much damage as possible through his Normal and Charged Attacks, since both the Special Skill and Burst consume time to execute and it can cut into the time you could spend dealing damage instead.

Basics of Using Lohen

Lohen Genshin Impact

Cryo On-Field DPS That Wants Sub-DPSes

Lohen is a unique On-Field DPS whose abilities rely on resources called Joy and Will to Win. He gains Joy stacks by attacking enemies after using his Skill, but gains Will to Win stacks whenever his Off-Field teammates deal damage.

Has a Hexerei Passive

Lohen is a Hexerei character, meaning he has a special Secret Rite or Witch's Eve Rite passive that is only activated after you finish his Witch's Homework quest.

Gain a DMG Buff With Hexerei Teammates

Lohen's Hexerei: Secret Rite effect grants him a substantial Normal and Charged DMG% boost when using his special Skill or Burst after reaching a certain amount of Will to Win stacks.

Since this passive is only enabled when the party has at least two (2) characters who have completed their Witch's Homework quest, it further encourages you to include at least one other Hexerei unit on Lohen's team to increase his damage output.

Skill Activates Masterstroke Mode

Lohen Genshin Impact

Lohen's Skill, upon activation, enables the Masterstroke state. While in this state, Lohen's Normal and Charged Attacks are infused with Cryo and will generate Joy stacks and Will to Win stacks. These stacks are used by his other abilities in different ways.

His Skill also has a special version that is enabled after reaching a certain amount of Joy.

Joy and Will to Win Stacks

StackGenerated ByUsage
Joy- Hitting enemies with Lohen's Normal (NA) and Charged Attacks (CA) while in Masterstroke mode.Used to activate his special Skill.
Will to WinWhen Off-Field teammates deal a certain amount of damage to enemies while Lohen is in Masterstroke mode.- Consumed by his Burst and Special Skill
- Increases NA and CA damage while in Masterstroke mode.
- Used by his Hexerei: Secret Rite passive to buff NA and CA damage

Lohen has two stacking kit resources: Joy and Will to Win. Since Will to Win is generated by his teammates' Off-Field damage, most of Lohen's best teams will include Sub-DPSes with decent to high personal damage.

Lohen Genshin ImpactNote!Lohen's first Ascension Passive increases the amount of Will to Win stacks gained from a party member if the DMG they deal is above a certain % of Lohen's ATK. This further encourages using Sub-DPSes with high damage output in his teams.

Burst Consumes Will to Win Stacks

Lohen's Elemental Burst uses up his Will to Win stacks upon activation. While it does extend the duration of his Masterstroke state, it can be better to skip using it to maintain the stacks for higher DPS potential with optimal Normal and Charged Attack combos.

You can still use his Burst at the very end of his combo; however, it is not a significant DPS loss if you are unable to do this every rotation.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Lohen

How To Use Lohen's Skills & Passives

On-Field Cryo DPS and Driver

Basic Rotation Of Lohen
1. Begin the rotation with the other supports first, ideally starting with the supports that have longer ability durations, then shorter durations.
2. Swap to Lohen. Activate Masterstroke mode with his Skill.
3. Use his Normal and Charged Attacks to stack Joy. Use his special Elemental Skill when it comes up. End the combo with another Charged Attack or his Burst if it is up.
4. Repeat from Step 1.

Lohen is designed to be a Cryo On-Field DPS that applies his element quickly through his Normal and Charged Attacks after entering a special state by activating his Skill. He has two important gameplay resources: Joy and Will to Win.

• Otherwise: 1 Will to Win
▼Gain more Will to Win if DMG dealt is even higher.

Lohen's Skill activates Masterstroke mode. In this state, his Cryo-Infused Normal and Charged Attacks will generate Joy whenever they hit enemies. Meanwhile, his party members will stack Will to Win whenever their Off-Field attacks deal damage above a minimum threshold. Lohen's other abilities utilize these resources.

Genshin ImpactNote!Lohen's Normal and Charged Attack DMG in his Masterstroke Mode scale with his Will to Win stacks at a fixed rate of 0.4% per point at all Talent levels.

Burst Uses Up Will to Win Stacks

Manifest JudgmentManifest Judgment- Consumes all Will to Win.
- Deals Cryo DMG.
- DMG increases based on the amount of Will to Win consumed.
If used while in Masterstroke mode:
- Extends Masterstroke duration by 1.65s.

Most of Lohen's personal DPS comes from his Normal and Charged Attacks while in his Masterstroke mode, but his Burst isn't an important part of his best combos, so it can used every other rotation unless you have his Signature Weapon.

Since Lohen's Elemental Burst consumes an important damage resource used by these attacks, it's better to use it as a combo finisher and/or disregard building Energy Recharge (ER) on his Artifacts entirely.

Lohen Genshin ImpactNote!Not having to worry about ER gives you more room for other important stats, such as CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and ATK%.

When the special Elemental Skill Etched Into Bone and Soul hits an opponent or the Elemental Burst Manifest Judgment is unleashed, if Lohen's Will to Win is at 50% or more of its max limit, his Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG will be increased by 40% for 6s.

After completing his Witch's Homework quest, Lohen gains a Hexerei: Secret Rite passive, which increases his Normal and Charged Attack DMG after gaining a certain amount of Will to Win stacks. To enable this passive, there must be at least one other Hexerei character on the team.

Teammates Need to Deal a Certain Amount of Damage

Ascension 1 Passive Description
IconAscension 1 Passive Description
Moratorium on QuestioningMoratorium on QuestioningWhen nearby party members generate Will to Win for Lohen by dealing DMG while he is in Masterstroke mode, if that DMG is at least 3,000% of Lohen's Base ATK, he will gain an extra 60 Will to Win.

Lohen's first Ascension Passive incentivizes having a Sub-DPS with non-negligible Off-Field DPS to supercharge his Will to Win generation. This lets you reach a higher Will to Win amount faster, which provides a decent boost to his overall damage output.

If you have his Signature Weapon, it becomes even more important to have a lot of Will to Win stacks, since his Signature Weapon, Disaster and Remorse has a Burst DMG% buff, among other buffs.

Utility Passive Summary

When the Mood StrikesWhen the Mood StrikesAfter using Elemental Skill — Unforeseen Strike:
- Gains High Spirits for 9s.
- Increases the Skill Level of Unforeseen Strike by 1.
Duration Extension
- When the Skill is used, if any other party member has a:
• Normal Attack Level,
• Elemental Skill Level, or
• Elemental Burst Level
that is equal to or higher than Lohen's Elemental Skill Level:
- High Spirits duration is extended by 6s.
Additional Rules
- High Spirits can be triggered once every 18s.- Maximum duration per trigger: 15s.

Instead of a normal utility passive that is used for exploration, Lohen's third passive lets him gain one free level to his Elemental Skill (for a set duration) if a teammate has a Skill, Burst, or Normal Attack talent level that is equal to or higher than his own Skill level.

In practice, this is a nice short Skill level increase for Lohen that can affect the first few seconds of Lohen's combo. If you crown Lohen's Skill, it can even briefly reach Level 11 through this passive if anyone else on the team has a Level 10 or higher talent.

Should You Pull for Lohen's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Signature Weapon Will Be Better Value

Signature VS Constellation
Disaster and Remorse Disaster and Remorse > C1+

In terms of personal damage, Lohen's Signature Weapon is a more valuable and accessible option. His Constellations have low overall value unless you go all the way to C6, and at that point it's better to opt into pulling for his weapon more, especially if you don't have a CRIT polearm for him.

Consider Investing Into His Supports

It's recommended to secure Lohen's premiere supports first, such as Durin and/or Nicole, before thinking of spending resources for his Constellations or Signature Weapon.

Additionally, investing in his supports' Constellations, such as C2 for Durin and Nicole, is a vastly more powerful upgrade for Lohen's teams. If you want to go a little further than the baseline, getting these key Constellations would be the ideal starting and stopping points.

Lohen's Constellations & Effects

RatingConstellation
Effect
★★★・・C1: O Breezes, That So Oft Bear Sorrowful Lament
Lohen's maximum Will to Win limit is increased to 300% of its original value.
Additionally, when other nearby party members deal DMG while Lohen is in Masterstroke mode, they accumulate 500% as much Will to Win for him as they originally would have.
★★★・・ C2: In Flight, I Strike Whatever Flies
When in Masterstroke mode, after the special Elemental Skill Etched Into Bone and Soul hits an opponent or the Elemental Burst Manifest Judgment is unleashed, Lohen gains "Evilsbane Blade" for 4s: The next time Lohen hits an opponent with a Normal or Charged Attack while in Masterstroke mode, he will follow up with an additional strike that deals AoE Cryo DMG equal to 500% of his ATK, and increase the Elemental Mastery of other nearby party members by 200 for 8s. Evilsbane Blade can be triggered once every 4s.
★★★★・ C3: Only the Spear That Wounds Can Heal
Increases the Level of Unforeseen Strike by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
★★★・・ C4: Radiant Love, Laughing Death
When Lohen unleashes the Elemental Burst Manifest Judgment while in Masterstroke mode, his Will to Win will be maxed out, causing this instance of his Elemental Burst to gain the maximum possible DMG increase.
Additionally, when Lohen switches to Masterstroke mode, the following will occur depending on how much Elemental Energy he has:
· When Elemental Energy is not full: Lohen recovers 15 Elemental Energy.
· When Elemental Energy is full: If, during the next 15s, Lohen unleashes the Elemental Burst Manifest Judgment, he will recover 15 Elemental Energy.

Voice Lines About Lohen

VarkaVarkaAbout Lohen: Feels like every other day that that rascal's causing some kind of ruckus... I used to think he was like a younger me — eager to fight strong foes and win glory... Turns out, he's just into the fighting part, couldn't care less about the glory. *sigh* Well, at least when he's fighting the enemy, it keeps him busy. Otherwise, he'll be digging traps to ambush me out of boredom.
