Lohen is a 5 star Cryo Polearm character who serves as an on field main DPS. He shines in teams that mix high frequency Cryo damage with strong off field support. As Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius Fifth Company, his kit rewards coordinated play where your teammates feed him resources while he stays on field dishing out Cryo infused attacks.

Best Weapons

Disaster and Remorse stands as his signature weapon and clear best in slot. It provides massive ATK and damage bonuses that perfectly match his Skill and Burst rotations while boosting Hexerei team performance.

Strong alternatives include:

  • Staff of Homa for its high CRIT DMG and HP based ATK buff.
  • Primordial Jade Winged Spear for stacking ATK and DMG bonuses on consistent hits.
  • Skyward Spine for ER, CRIT Rate, and Normal Attack speed.
  • Sacrificer's Staff or White Tassel for F2P friendly options that still deliver solid ATK and CRIT stats.

Best Artifacts

Genshin Impact Lohen Pose

The 4 piece A Day Carved From Rising Winds set is his top choice. It grants easy ATK and CRIT Rate buffs that activate reliably in Hexerei focused teams and align with his on field playstyle.

Viable alternatives:

  • 4 piece Blizzard Strayer for Freeze comps where you want extra CRIT Rate against frozen enemies.
  • 4 piece Marechaussee Hunter when pairing with Furina for HP fluctuation buffs.

Main stats priority:

  • Sands: ATK percent
  • Goblet: Cryo DMG Bonus (or ATK percent if your team already supplies plenty of ATK buffs)
  • Circlet: CRIT DMG (preferred) or CRIT Rate

Substat priority: CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate first, followed by ATK percent and Energy Recharge as needed to keep Burst uptime high. Aim for roughly 80 percent CRIT Rate and 160 percent CRIT DMG with at least 2000 ATK.

Talent Priority

Upgrade in this order: Elemental Skill first, then Elemental Burst, and Normal Attack last. The Skill defines his entire stance and damage loop while the Burst provides strong front loaded damage. Normal Attacks matter but scale through the empowered state.

Recommended Teams

Ky Nang Lohen Genshin Impact 7

Lohen performs best in Hexerei teams that trigger his Secret Rite passive for extra Normal and Charged Attack damage. He needs teammates who deal consistent off field damage to build Triumph stacks quickly.

Top team example (Melt focused):

  • Lohen (main DPS)
  • Durin (sub DPS and reaction enabler)
  • Nicole (teamwide ATK buff and battery)
  • Citlali or Sucrose (Anemo support for Hexerei trigger, grouping, and shred)

Freeze variant:

  • Lohen (main DPS)
  • Furina (Hydro application and damage buff)
  • Escoffier or Mona (additional Hydro and Hexerei synergy)
  • Anemo grouper like Kazuha or Venti

F2P friendly option:

  • Lohen + Bennett + Xiangling + Sucrose (solid Melt with easy Hexerei activation).

Flex slots can include shields from Zhongli or Xilonen for comfort or more Pyro applicators for Melt setups.

Quick Playstyle and Rotation Tips

  1. Activate supports first (batteries, shields, buffs).
  2. Use Elemental Skill to enter Stratagem state and start building Joy with Normal and Charged Attacks.
  3. Let teammates build Triumph stacks through off field damage.
  4. At max Joy recast the Skill for Piercing Frost nuke.
  5. Drop Elemental Burst to consume Triumph for enhanced Cryo damage.
  6. Repeat while maintaining reaction uptime and team buffs.

Stay on field as much as possible and focus on interruption resistance so Lohen can keep swinging. Pairing him with characters who trigger Cryo reactions or provide ATK buffs maximizes his collaborative damage style.
