Lohen’s appearance has made every Genshin Impact player excited for his eventual appearance on the banners. Although Hoyoverse has yet to confirm when Lohen becomes playable, recent leaks have already revealed Lohen’s kit, materials, and release date in Genshin Impact. So, learn all about Lohen from our dedicated guide here.
Genshin Impact Lohen Overview and Lore
Here is a quick overview of Lohen’s rarity, element, weapon, and stats based on leaks:
- Rarity: 5-star
- Element: Cryo
- Weapon: Polearm
- Crit DMG Bonus: 88.4%
Lohen is the vice captain of the fifth company of the Knights of the Favonius, which is a company specializing in ranged weaponry. Interestingly, Varka had mentioned that Lohen is tougher than him, which might mean in personality instead of actual strength. Lohen is of the serious type, while Varka is more of a free spirit, which might have forced him to take command.

Lohen Talents
Here are all of Lohen’s talents in Genshin Impact, according to the latest leaks:
| Talents | Description |
|---|---|
| Skill (Deceptive Maneuver) | Lohen searches for enemy weaknesses and enters the Stratagem state. While in this state, Lohen can accumulate Joy to unleash the special Elemental Skill Piercing Frost, and nearby teammates can generate Triumph to increase its damage. |
| Stratagem: Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks deal Cryo DMG that cannot be overridden by enchantments. Hitting enemies with Normal or Charged Attacks generates Joy for Lohen. Nearby teammates dealing damage generate Triumph, boosting Piercing Frost’s damage. Stratagem ends when Lohen leaves the field, clearing all accumulated Joy and Triumph. | |
| Joy: A resource gained during Stratagem, up to 100 points. Normal Attacks generate 15 Joy per hit, Charged Attacks generate 18 Joy per hit. Gains occur at most once every 0.1s. When Joy reaches its maximum, Deceptive Maneuver is replaced by Piercing Frost. | |
| Piercing Frost: Consumes all Joy and Triumph to deal Cryo DMG. Damage increases based on the amount of Triumph consumed. | |
| Triumph: Generated by nearby teammates dealing damage during Stratagem, up to 100 points. If the damage dealt is ≥1000% of Lohen’s Base ATK, Lohen gains 20 Triumph; otherwise, 1 Triumph. Each teammate can grant Triumph at most once every 0.1s. | |
| Burst (Judgement Fulfilled) | Lohen performs rapid consecutive slashes forward, consuming all Triumph to deal Cryo DMG. Damage increases based on the amount of Triumph consumed. If Lohen is in Stratagem when activated, the current Stratagem duration is extended by 1.65s. |
| Passive 1 (Forbidden Admonition) | While in Stratagem, nearby teammates generating Triumph for Lohen will grant an extra 60 Triumph if their damage is ≥4000% of Lohen’s Base ATK. |
| Passive 2 (Masterpiece of Jest) | While in Stratagem, nearby teammates who trigger Cryo-related elemental reactions gain 15% ATK for 8s. Lohen also gains 15% ATK during this time. |
| Passive 3 (Exuberant Arrival) | After using Deceptive Maneuver, Lohen gains the Revelry effect for 9s: increases the level of Deceptive Maneuver by 1. If any skill level of Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, or Burst from nearby teammates is not lower than Lohen’s Elemental Skill, Revelry duration is extended by 6s. Can occur once every 18s. |
| Passive 4 (Witch’s Eve) | After completing Witch’s Homework: The Untitled Question, Lohen becomes a Hexerei character. Having at least 2 Hexerei characters in the party grants the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, enhancing Hexerei characters. |
| Hexerei: Secret Rite: When Lohen uses Piercing Frost or Judgement Fulfilled, if Triumph is at least 50% of the maximum, Lohen’s Normal and Charged Attacks deal 40% increased damage for 6s. |

| C2 (All Who Take Flight Become Targets) | While in Stratagem, for 4s after using Piercing Frost or Judgement Fulfilled, Lohen gains Blade of Purity: the next Normal or Charged Attack hits enemies an additional time, dealing 300% of Lohen’s ATK as Cryo AoE DMG, and increases nearby teammates’ Elemental Mastery by 125 for 8s. Can occur once every 4s. |

| C5 (No Peering, No Questioning) | Increases the level of Judgement Fulfilled by 3. Maximum level 15. |
| C6 (Body Consumed, Soul Devoured, Only Joy Remains) | Using Piercing Frost or Judgement Fulfilled while in Stratagem does not consume Triumph.
