Lohen Build Guide: Artifacts, Weapons & Teams | Genshin Impact v6.6
2026-06-05
Genshin Impact is an open-world action RPG that blends exploration with team-based elemental combat.
Phase 2 of Genshin Impact 6.6 starts on June 9, 2026, and with it comes the long-anticipated debut of Lohen, a brand-new 5-star Cryo Polearm character. So, it is the perfect time to prepare the best build for him before his banner arrives. Stick with this Lohen build guide for Genshin Impact 6.6 to learn all about his kit, materials, signature weapon, best team compositions, and more.
Lohen Character Overview
 | Rarity | 5-star |
| Element | Cryo | |
| Weapon | Polearm |
Lohen is a 5-star Cryo Main DPS that specializes in Cryo-infused Normal and Charged Attacks. He operates through a unique Stratagem state where his damage is a collaborative effort between himself and his teammates.
Lohen's Genshin Impact build is different from that of a typical Cryo carry because of his dual-resource system. He generates Joy through his own Normal and Charged Attacks, while his teammates fill Triumph with their off-field damage. Both resources feed into his special skill and Burst, which means his damage ceiling scales with how well your team is built.
He is part of the Hexerei faction and gains a substantial buff with the pairing of other Hexerei characters because they trigger each other's Hexerei: Secret Rite passives.
Lohen Skills and Kit
Unforeseen Strike is Lohen's Elemental Skill that shifts him into Masterstroke Mode. This mode converts all Normal/Charged/Plunging attacks into Cryo DMG that no elemental infusion can override. Two separate resources charge up while this state runs:
Joy caps at 100 stacks and is built by Lohen's Normal and Charged attacks. Every Normal Attack adds 15 stacks, every Charged Attack adds 18. When the meter fills, the Elemental Skill upgrades into Etched Into Bone and Soul, which is a wide Cryo AoE detonation that wipes both Joy and Triumph in one hit.
Triumph also caps at 100 stacks but is funded by your off-field teammates. Each hit they land while Masterstroke Mode is active contributes. Smaller hits add 1 stack, while any single hit reaching 1,000% of Lohen's Base ATK jumps straight to 20. A separate passive called Forbidden Admonition pushes this further, as any teammate hitting crossing 4,000% of his Base ATK instantly adds 60 bonus Triumph on top.
Manifest Judgment is his Elemental Burst that unloads six back-to-back Cryo AoE strikes and burns every Triumph stack to amplify the total damage delivered. Firing it inside Masterstroke Mode also buys an extra 1.65 seconds before the state ends.
Lohen Skill Upgrade Priority
Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack
The bulk of personal damage runs through the Skill, but the Burst provides a useful damage increase once leveled. Normal Attack talent levels don't elevate Cryo-infused hits of the Lohen build in Masterstroke Mode, so it is considered the least priority.

Best Weapons for Lohen
Now comes the important part of our Lohen build Genshin Impact 6.6 guide. Since Lohen is a DPS character, he prioritizes CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, and ATK to improve his personal damage.
Lohen Signature Weapon
 Disaster and Remorse (Polearm) | |
| Base ATK = 674 | Crit Rate = 22.1% |
Disaster and Remorse is Lohen's signature weapon. After using an Elemental Skill, it grants substantial bonuses to Normal/Charged Attacks (+40%) and Elemental Skill/Burst damage (+40%) for 17 seconds. The weapon effects support Lohen's entire damage rotation, as it allows him to alternate between attacks and abilities while maintaining serious damage output.
Hexerei characters receive even stronger bonuses (75%). Due to its excellent stat line and perfect alignment with Lohen's skills and kit, Disaster and Remorse outperforms other weapon choices by a 10-20% margin.
Alternative Weapons
Some of the other best weapons for Lohen build in Genshin Impact include:
| Rarity | Weapons | Stat | Why It's Good |
| 5-star |  Primordial Jade Winged-Spear | CRIT Rate 22.1% | ATK% stacking buffs about 7 hits, +12% damage at max. |
 Staff of the Scarlet Sands | CRIT Rate 44.1% | Turns Elemental Mastery into ATK. Effective in Melt teams. | |
 Staff of Homa | CRIT Rate 66.2% | Massive CRIT DMG stat plus extra ATK from its HP-scaling passive. A reliable high-damage option. | |
| 4-star |  Deathmatch | CRIT Rate 36.8% | Excellent CRIT Rate weapon that remains competitive with several 5-star alternatives at higher refinements. |
 Ballad of the Fjords | CRIT Rate 27.6% | Grants a sizable EM bonus in multi-element teams to increase Melt damage. | |
| 3-star |  White Tassel | CRIT Rate 23.4% | Budget-friendly choice that increases Normal Attack damage and helps meet CRIT requirements. |
Lohen Artifact Sets
Among the best artifacts for Lohen, A Day Carved From Rising Winds leads the race, earned from the Hexerei DPS domain. Its 4-piece bonus delivers +25% ATK on hitting enemies with Normal/Charged Attacks or Skill/Burst. It gets much better once you complete the Witch's Homework quest, as it upgrades to Resolve of Pastoral Winds and adds a further +20% CRIT Rate.

| ATK% | Cryo DMG Bonus or ATK | CRIT DMG / CRIT Rate |

Lohen Constellations
C1 and C2 are the primary investment milestones for the Lohen Genshin Impact build. C2's party-wide +125 Elemental Mastery buff increases the value of Freeze and Melt team compositions, which makes it the most cost-effective single constellation investment.
| Constellation | Effect | Verdict |
| C1 | Increases the Triumph cap to 250% and increases the Triumph generated by teammates' damage to 250% while in Stratagem. | Best low-to-mid investment stop. Makes his kit feel smoother right away. |
| C2 | After using Piercing Frost or Burst, the next Normal/Charged Attack deals a bonus hit for 300% ATK as Cryo AoE damage and grants nearby teammates +125 Elemental Mastery for 8s. | Best premium stopping point. Adds a useful personal damage bump and team utility in reaction setups. |
| C3 | Increases Deceptive Maneuver talent level by 3 (max level 15). | Passive upgrade, no new mechanics. |
| C4 | When Burst is used in Stratagem, Triumph auto-fills to max. Also restores 15 Energy on Stratagem entry if Energy isn't full, or refunds 15 Energy per Burst use for 15s if Energy is full. | Resolves the Joy/Triumph resource tension entirely, a prominent quality-of-life upgrade. |
| C5 | Increases Judgement Fulfilled talent level by 3 (max level 15). | Passive upgrade, no new mechanics. |
| C6 | Piercing Frost and Burst no longer consume Triumph. Joy immediately fills to maximum, and the next Piercing Frost cast extends Stratagem by 1.25s (once per 7s). All damage from these abilities gains +80% CRIT DMG. | Massive ceiling increase. |
C0 is fully functional. C1 is the best stopping point for low-to-mid investment. C2 is the sweet spot for players who want long-term value. C6 is for those fully committed to Lohen as a main carry.
Best Teams for Lohen
Lohen's build guide for Genshin Impact 6.6 is incomplete without listing his best team compositions. Lohen's damage output is tied to how fast his teammates fill Triumph. Teams without serious off-field damage will see lower performance.
Durin is the biggest damage contributor in all premium team lineups. He can add above 30,000 DPS with an early investment. Besides that, the teamwide ATK% buff of Nicole benefits Durin and Lohen simultaneously.
Premium Melt Team (Recommended)
| Character |  Lohen |  Durin |  Nicole |  Xilonen / Citlali / C6 Sucrose |
| Role | On-field Cryo Main DPS | Off-field Pyro sub-DPS, Triumph generator | Hexerei faction support, teamwide ATK% buff | Flex support slot |
Durin, in his Denial of Darkness/Black form, acts as the Pyro applicator (off-field) for Melt triggers. He deals strong Pyro damage, and Lohen drives on-field.
Among the best flex options, pick Xilonen for more damage, Citlali for extra defense and utility, or C6 Sucrose as a solid F2P alternative. Overall, this is the best team composition for Lohen build in Genshin Impact 6.6.
No-Durin Option
 Lohen |  Nicole |  Mavuika |  Emilie |
Replace Durin with Emilie and Mavuika. Emilie offers off-field damage and maintains the burn aura. Mavuika fulfills Pyro support responsibilities. This functions as a burn-melt team but falls below Durin teams in raw output.
Freeze Team
 Lohen |  Furina |  Escoffier |  Mona |
A Freeze-oriented team works, but is weaker than any Melt option. It is only useful when running against specific boss mechanics that demand Freeze.
F2P Team
 Lohen |  Xiangling |  Bennett |  Sucrose |
Xiangling deals with off-field Pyro to trigger Melt. Bennett offers an ATK buff and healing. Sucrose enables Lohen's Hexerei passive and contributes Elemental Mastery. This Lohen build team acts as a complete operational starting point.
Conclusion
The greatest strength of Lohen Genshin Impact build is how well he makes everyone around him matter. Every off-field hit your teammates land fills his Triumph meter and increases his burst. Build the right team and watch Lohen's ceiling become super-impressive. So, top up your Genshin Impact Crystals via BuffBuff at the best rates and make sure you are pulling on day one of Phase 2.
