Recent beta leaks from Genshin Impact Version 6.6 have unveiled the full details of Lohen’s signature weapon, a high performance Polearm designed around continuous combat uptime and dynamic damage scaling. This weapon introduces a unique mechanic that rewards aggressive playstyles and constant ability usage, while also tying into the emerging Hexerei system.
According to the leaked data, the weapon features a strong Base ATK of 674 alongside an impressive 22.1% CRIT Rate, making it immediately attractive for main DPS characters who rely on consistent critical hits and sustained damage output.
The weapon’s passive, titled “Ruinous Strike,” activates after the wielder uses an Elemental Skill, granting a multi layered set of effects. Upon activation, the user gains the “Path of Discord” effect for 17 seconds, along with two temporary buffs, “Merciless” and “Unhealing,” each lasting 3 seconds initially.
The Merciless effect increases Normal and Charged Attack damage by 40%, while Unhealing boosts Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage by 40%. This dual buff system allows the weapon to enhance all major forms of damage output, making it highly versatile across different combat rotations.
What makes this weapon particularly unique is the interaction within Path of Discord. During its active duration, players can extend the duration of these buffs through combat actions. Specifically, landing Normal or Charged Attacks extends Unhealing by 1 second, while using Elemental Skills or Bursts extends Merciless by 1 second. Each extension can trigger rapidly, up to once every 0.1 seconds, enabling skilled players to maintain both buffs for extended periods.
However, both Merciless and Unhealing effects are removed once Path of Discord ends or if the wielder leaves the field, reinforcing the weapon’s design as a field time dependent DPS tool that rewards continuous engagement.
The most powerful aspect of this weapon is tied to the Hexerei mechanic, through a passive known as “Secret Rite.” This effect increases all damage bonuses provided by the weapon by 75%, significantly amplifying both Normal attack and ability based damage boosts. If applied to the base values, this could push the buffs into extremely high scaling territory, making it a top tier offensive weapon for Hexerei aligned characters.
From a gameplay perspective, this weapon encourages a fluid combat loop, where players alternate between basic attacks and abilities to maintain maximum uptime on all buffs. This creates a high skill ceiling playstyle, rewarding precise timing and efficient rotations.
Community reactions to the leak have been highly enthusiastic, with many players highlighting its potential to become one of the strongest Polearms for DPS units. The combination of CRIT Rate, scalable buffs, and Hexerei amplification makes it particularly appealing for characters who can consistently remain on-field and trigger multiple damage sources.
As with all beta leaks, it is important to emphasize that this information is unofficial and subject to change. Values, durations, and mechanics may be adjusted before the official release of Version 6.6.
Despite this, the current data suggests that Lohen’s signature weapon could play a major role in shaping the damage meta in Genshin Impact 6.6, especially within teams built around Hexerei mechanics and sustained DPS strategies.
