Lohen

Cryo Polearm Tier S Main DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Lohen worth building?

Lohen is a solid Cryo DPS, especially strong in Melt teams alongside Durin and Nicole thanks to his chained Normal Attacks under the Hexerei mechanic. His signature Disaster and Remorse is optimal, but Primordial Jade Winged-Spear or the free 3-star White Tassel still work fine. A Day Carved From Rising Winds is the main artifact pick — farm a CRIT circlet and Cryo goblet first, ATK% on sands. If you prefer a safer playstyle, switching to a Freeze team with Furina and Mona also works well.

E > Q — Skill comes first since it triggers his Hexerei state, and his Normal Attacks in that state scale off Skill level, so leveling them separately is unnecessary.

Lohen's talents

Spear of Favonius — Broken Oath
Normal Attack
Performs up to 5 consecutive strikes.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform a forward thrust.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Unforeseen Strike
As he searches for weaknesses, Lohen switches to Masterstroke mode. While in this state:
· Lohen can actively accumulate Joy, using it to unleash the special Elemental Skill Etched Into Bone and Soul.
· Nearby party members can accumulate Will to Win for Lohen, increasing the DMG dealt by Etched Into Bone and Soul.
Lohen can unleash Etched Into Bone and Soul up to 3 times while in Masterstroke mode, after which, he will no longer be able to accumulate Joy.

"Chivalry? Hah, what better way to bait the trap? When an enemy dreams of an honorable victory, they inevitably fail to suspect the 'pleasant surprise' that awaits them."
Manifest Judgment
Performs a swift series of forward strikes, consuming all Will to Win and dealing Cryo DMG. This DMG will be increased based on the amount of Will to Win consumed. If Lohen is in Masterstroke mode when this is performed, the duration of Masterstroke will be extended by 1.65s.

"So quick to cave? What a pity, I was just starting to enjoy myself..."
Moratorium on Questioning
When nearby party members accumulate Will to Win for Lohen by dealing DMG while he is in Masterstroke mode, if that DMG is not less than 3,000% of Lohen's Base ATK, it will accumulate an extra 60 Will to Win.
Flippant Masterpiece
While in Masterstroke mode, for 8s after another nearby party member triggers a Cryo Reaction, that character's ATK is increased by 15%, while Lohen's ATK is increased by 15%.
When the Mood Strikes
Lohen gains "High Spirits" for 9s after he unleashes the Elemental Skill Unforeseen Strike: Increases the Skill Level of Unforeseen Strike by 1.
When unleashing an Elemental Skill, if the Level of any other party member's Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst is not lower than Lohen's Elemental Skill Level, the duration of this instance of High Spirits will be increased by an additional 6s.
High Spirits can be gained once every 18s.
Witch's Eve Rite: Unhealing Thorn
After completing Witch's Homework: Of Various Foes, Lohen becomes a Hexerei character. When the party includes at least 2 Hexerei characters, you gain the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, which enhances Hexerei characters.

Hexerei: Secret Rite
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.

Combat Rotation

  1. Open with Elemental Skill "Unforeseen Strike" to enter Masterstroke mode (lasts 13s, 18s cooldown).
  2. While in Masterstroke, fire off the special skill "Etched Into Bone and Soul" up to 3 times to build Joy and deal Cryo damage.
  3. Have nearby teammates keep attacking so they generate "Will to Win" for Lohen — the higher the stack, the bigger the eventual Burst.
  4. Weave in Lohen's 5-hit normal attack combo or Charged Attacks to stall for more stacking time while still dealing damage.
  5. Once Will to Win is stacked high and Lohen is still in Masterstroke, unleash Burst "Manifest Judgment" (60 energy, 15s cooldown) to consume all Will to Win into one big Cryo nuke.
  6. Casting the Burst while Masterstroke is still active extends the mode by 1.65 more seconds, letting you squeeze in extra actions.
  7. Once Elemental Skill comes off its 18s cooldown, repeat the loop: re-enter Masterstroke, stack Will to Win again, then Burst.

Lohen constellations

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.

C5
Never Ask, Nor Trouble You to Know

Increases the Level of Manifest Judgment by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C6
To Drown, to Sink, Unconscious — Supreme Joy

Using the special Elemental Skill Etched Into Bone and Soul and hitting an opponent with it or, while Masterstroke mode is active, unleashing the Elemental Burst Manifest Judgment, will not consume any Will to Win. Instead, Lohen's Joy will be maxed out, and if he hits an opponent the next time he uses the special Elemental Skill Etched Into Bone and Soul, the duration of this instance of Masterstroke will be extended by 1.25s. This effect can be triggered once every 7s.
Additionally, the CRIT DMG of all the DMG described above is increased by 175%, and the number of times Lohen can unleash Etched Into Bone and Soul during this instance of Masterstroke is increased by 2.
