Genshin Impact Lohen Best Team Guide

Last updated July 3, 2026. Looking for the best Lohen teams in Genshin Impact? Start with the top team summary below, then pick the lineup that fits your roster.

Lohen

Lohen fulfills the role of a dedicated Hexerei Driver DPS (mainly for Melt) with his absurd Cryo application, that uniquely benefits from having strong off-fielders of nearly equal strength and investment to him, igniting his competitive spirit. Surprisingly, Lohen returns to the traditional way of building DPS units, with no additional gimmick or special stat investments required on his end, with gameplay that is also incredibly straightforward due to its reliance on Normal and Charged attacks, albeit in empowered states. However, Lohen's true potential is only achieved if his teammates are also up to standard, which means his main limitation lies in teambuilding and ensuring he has competent allies. As a Hexerei unit, Nicole and Dark Durin are his highly sought-after allies, in both a general and Hexerei-centered standpoint. However, they're also sought by other teams as well. All in all, he enters the Hexerei cast as its only Cryo option and does so to good effect. While his maximum potential is limited by his more expensive best-in-slot teammates, his role as a driver unit means he can be useful in any current or future teams that focus on Cryo reactions.
