- Learn how to maximize his Cryo DPS potential in Genshin Impact.
Lohen is the newest 5-Star Cryo Polearm user in Genshin Impact. He is an on-field Cryo DPS, specialising in Melt teams. He converts his basic and charge attacks into cryo damage with his unique Will to Win mechanisms. In this Genshin Impact Lohen build guide, we will cover his best kits, team comps, weapons, and artifact sets.
Genshin Impact Lohen Build Guide: Kits Explained
Lohen is a 5-Star Cryo DPS Polearm user who benefits heavily from off-field teammates that continuously deal damage and trigger reactions. His kit revolves around entering a special combat state that enhances his Normal Attacks while converting team damage into powerful burst scaling. He performs exceptionally well with coordinated team play. His playstyle revolves around her Skill and Ultimate. Here is a breakdown of Skill, Passive, and Burst.
Elemental Skill
After using his skill, Lohen enters a special “Masterstroke” state that infuses his attacks with Cryo and enables him to generate “Joy” stacks through Normal and Charged Attacks. Once enough Joy is accumulated, he unlocks a powerful attack called Etched Into Bone and Soul. When nearby party members attack enemies, they can accumulate Will to Win for Lohen, increasing the DMG dealt by Etched Into Bone and Soul.
Elemental Burst
His Burst heavily benefits from “Will to Win” stacks generated by teammates dealing off-field damage. This means the stronger and more active your supports are, the higher Lohen’s Burst damage becomes.
Passive Skills
- Moratorium on Questioning: When nearby party members accumulate Will to Win for Lohen while he is in Masterstroke mode. If that DMG is not less than 4,000% of Lohen’s Base ATK, it will accumulate an extra 60 Will to Win.
- When the Mood Strikes: Lohen gains High Spirits for 9s after he unleashes the Elemental Skill. Increases the Skill Level by 1.
- Flippant Masterpiece: While in Masterstroke mode, for 8s after another nearby party member triggers a Cryo Reaction, that character’s ATK and Lohen’s ATK are increased by 15%.
- Witch’s Eve Rite: Unhealing Thorn: This Passive unlocks after completing Witch’s Homework. When Lohen unleashes the special Elemental Skill or the Elemental Burst, if his Will to Win is at 50% or more, his Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG will be increased by 40% for 6s.
Genshin Impact Lohen Build Guide: Constellations
| Constellation | Effects |
|---|---|
| C1 | Lohen’s maximum Will to Win limit increases from 100% to 250% of its original value. Additionally, when other nearby party members deal DMG while Lohen is in Masterstroke mode, they accumulate 250% more Will to Win for him. |
| C2 | In Masterstroke mode, after unleashing the Elemental Skill or the Elemental Burst, Lohen gains “Evilsbane Blade” for 4 seconds. In this state, if Lohen hits an opponent with a Normal or Charged Attack while in Masterstroke mode, he will deal follow-up damage. Additionally, increase the Elemental Mastery of other nearby party members by 125 for 8s. |
| C3 | Increases her Elemental Skill talent level by +3. |
| C4 | While in Masterstroke mode, if we use his Burst Lohen’s Will to Win will be maxed out. Additionally, when Lohen switches to Masterstroke mode if his Elemental Energy is not full, Lohen recovers 15 Elemental Energy. If Energy is full, then he gets 15 energy after using her Burst. |
| C5 | Increases her Elemental Burst talent level by +3. |
| C6 | If Masterstroke mode is active, it will not consume any Will to Win stack after using his skill or burst. Instead, Lohen’s Joy will be maxed out, and when he next uses the special Elemental Skill, the duration of this instance of Masterstroke will be extended by 1.25s. Additionally, the CRIT DMG of all the DMGs described above is increased by 150%. |
If you don’t want to or don’t have resources for his C6 constellation, but want to increase his damage, then C1 and his C2 are the best budget-friendly constellation that increases his damage and increases his whole team’s damage.
