Overview

  • Shielder
  • Healer

Diona is a Cryo support who keeps the team alive. Her Elemental Skill fires Icy Paws that create a shield based on her Max HP, and holding the skill makes a much stronger shield. Her Elemental Burst throws down a cold mist that heals characters standing in it, deals Cryo damage over time and lowers the ATK of enemies who enter it.

Give her HP and Energy Recharge so the shield is solid and the burst is ready each rotation. She is a good pick for Freeze and other Cryo teams, and she is easy to get and fully useful at low constellations.

Weapons

Best first. Every bow on this list links to its page.

  1. Sacrificial Bow ★★★★

    The best pick for most players. A chance to reset her skill means two shields in a row, and the Energy Recharge helps her burst.

  2. Favonius Warbow ★★★★

    Lots of Energy Recharge and extra particles for the team. Needs some CRIT Rate on her to trigger reliably.

  3. Elegy for the End ★★★★★

    Her skill and burst hits charge its team-wide ATK and Elemental Mastery buff, which suits a support who is mostly off the field.

  4. Recurve Bow ★★★

    A 3-star with a large HP stat. It strengthens her shield and healing, which is all a new account needs from her.

Artifact sets

  1. Noblesse Oblige 4-piece

    Each burst raises the whole party's ATK. A simple way to add team damage to a support role.

  2. Tenacity of the Millelith 4-piece

    Her skill hits trigger a party ATK buff and stronger shields. Pairs well with HP stats.

  3. Tenacity of the Millelith + Ocean-Hued Clam 2-piece each

    HP and Healing Bonus for a pure survival setup while you farm a full set.

Teams

  • Ayaka Freeze

    Mona keeps enemies wet so Ayaka can Freeze them, and Kazuha groups them. Diona adds Cryo, a shield and healing.

  • Ganyu Freeze

    Venti pulls enemies together, Mona soaks them and Ganyu's arrows Freeze them. Diona keeps Ganyu safe while she aims.

  • Budget Freeze

    All 4-stars. Chongyun does the damage, Xingqiu adds Hydro, Sucrose groups enemies and Diona protects the team.

Tips

  • Hold the skill when you need a strong shield. The tap version is weaker but has a shorter cooldown.
  • The shield applies Cryo to the active character for a moment. Keep that in mind when a Pyro or Hydro carry is active.
  • Place the burst where the fight is. Healing only works inside the mist, and enemies there lose some ATK.

Other character guides recommend Diona as a teammate in these teams.
