Since the multipliers for Lohen’s converted attacks are contained in his Skill, levelling his Normal Attack talent is unnecessary.
Lohen rotation
Further nuance tends to revolve around Lohen’s combos, which are explained more thoroughly below.
- Rotate through teammates to setup buffs and off-field damage
- Use his base Elemental Skill to enter Masterstroke
- Repeatedly alternate his Normal and Charged Attacks
- Use his special Skill and Burst for Cryo Application or, if active, his Hexerei passive buffs
- End Lohen’s field time when ally off-field damage and/or buffs expire, even if there is time left on his Masterstroke duration
Lohen Combo Loop
2(N1C) → Skill → N1C for 6s → Skill → N1C for 6s more → Skill
His Burst can substitute a use of his Skill in any of the above combos, functioning more or less as an enhanced version of it. He can also opt to use all casts of his special Skill and Burst if looking to squeeze more damage into a given rotation at the cost of overall DPS, which can be optimal in certain situations such as limited boss DPS windows or at the end of a battle.

Lohen FAQ
3 questionsWhat stat does Lohen scale on?
Lohen's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
What is the best weapon for Lohen?
Bloodsoaked Ruins is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star polearm with CRIT Rate as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Lithic Spear is the best 4-star alternative.
Which artifact set should Lohen use?
Blizzard Strayer. Its 2-piece bonus is: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.
