| Base ATK | 674 |
| Crit Rate | 22.1% |

Genshin Lohen Normal Attacks - 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. |
Lohen’s normal attack follows the standard five-hit cycle. While normal attacks are part of his gameplay, this talent can be largely ignored when upgrading him, as his damage primarily scales with his elemental skill.
Genshin Lohen elemental skill - 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’s elemental skill is the bread-and-butter of his gameplay. Despite the lengthy descriptions in Genshin Impact Lohen kit, his playstyle is straightforward. Activating his elemental skill puts Lohen into Masterstroke mode, converting all normal attacks into Cryo damage.
While in Masterstroke mode, Lohen generates two key resources: Joy and Will to Win.
- Joy is gained whenever Lohen is active on the field and uses attacks: 15 per normal attack and 18 per charged attack. At 100 Joy stacks, his elemental skill transforms into a special skill called Etched Into Bone and Soul, whose damage scales with Will to Win.
- Will to Win can reach up to 100 stacks, with each stack increasing Etched Into Bone and Soul’s damage by 0.4%. At max stacks, this results in a 40% damage boost.
Will to Win is generated when other party members deal damage while Lohen is in Masterstroke mode. Depending on the damage dealt, Lohen gains either 1 or 20 Will to Win per hit. Since Masterstroke mode ends when Lohen leaves the field, this often works best with off-field DPS characters, such as Durin.
Two resources are mentioned in his elemental skill: Joy and Will to Win
| Joy | Will to Win |
| - Lohen switches to this mode after he unleashes the Elemental Skill Unforeseen Strike. Masterstroke mode has the following characteristics - DMG dealt by Lohen's Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks is converted to Cryo DMG that cannot be overridden by other infusions.· When Lohen hits an opponent with a Normal Attack or Charged Attack, he accumulates Joy that can be used to unleash the special Elemental Skill Etched Into Bone and Soul. - When nearby party members deal DMG, they also accumulate Will to Win for Lohen that can be used to increase the DMG dealt by Etched Into Bone and Soul.· Masterstroke mode ends when Lohen leaves the field. When Masterstroke mode ends, Joy and Will to Win will be reset to zero. | - A special resource accumulated when other nearby party members deal DMG while Lohen is in Masterstroke mode. Up to 100 Will to Win may be accumulated at any one time. - While Masterstroke mode is active, when other nearby party members deal DMG, if that DMG is not less than 1000% of Lohen's Base ATK, he accumulates 20 Will to Win; otherwise, he accumulates 1 Will to Win. - Each character can accumulate Will to Win for Lohen once every 0.1s. |
Genshin Lohen elemental burst - Manifest Judgment
Lohen’s elemental burst unleashes six consecutive Cryo attacks, consuming his accumulated Will to Win to boost damage. The more stacks he has, the stronger the burst becomes. When activated during Masterstroke mode, the duration of this mode is extended, allowing Lohen to keep dealing enhanced Cryo damage for longer.
| 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. |
Watch the complete animations of Genshin Lohen’s kit below. Note that this video comes from a leaker, so the visuals, effects, and even parts of the kit may still be subject to change before the official release.
