Is Lohen worth building?

Lohen is a solid Cryo DPS, especially strong in Melt teams alongside Durin and Nicole thanks to his chained Normal Attacks under the Hexerei mechanic. His signature Disaster and Remorse is optimal, but Primordial Jade Winged-Spear or the free 3-star White Tassel still work fine. A Day Carved From Rising Winds is the main artifact pick — farm a CRIT circlet and Cryo goblet first, ATK% on sands. If you prefer a safer playstyle, switching to a Freeze team with Furina and Mona also works well.

Talent priority

E > Q — Skill comes first since it triggers his Hexerei state, and his Normal Attacks in that state scale off Skill level, so leveling them separately is unnecessary.

Teams for Lohen

Hexerei Melt

Durin and Citlali keep applying Pyro so Lohen triggers Melt on every hit, while Nicole helps shield and buffs the whole team.

Freeze

Escoffier and Mona keep applying Cryo continuously, and Furina adds DMG%, making for a safer playstyle for newer players.
