Diona's Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• All around generalist support unit that can slot in for Cryo resonance, provide decent Cryo application, and ample healing and shields.
• Most of Diona's kit scales with her HP, making her very simple to build and not even requiring a proper set for potency.
• C6 constellation allows her to provide another form of buffing to the team by increasing their Elemental Mastery by 200 while inside her Elemental Burst.
Weaknesses
• Signature Mix is a stationary AoE, making her less effective against moving targets, or large monsters that knock the player off her healing circle.
• Low DMG potential, locking her down to only be played as an off-field Cryo support.

This build utilizes Diona as both a buffer thanks to Noblesse Oblige, and a dedicated healer and shielder thanks to the Artifact stats. Most of her ER requirements will be covered by her weapon, allowing her to slot into more HP.

If someone else is already using Noblesse Oblige, Diona can instead opt for a two-piece mix of different HP and/or Energy Recharge sets.

Diona's Talent Priority

For a Support Diona
1st Elemental Burst
2nd Elemental Skill

Diona's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst are both essential in keeping your party members alive, so level them up to increase their effectiveness. We don't recommend leveling up her Normal Attack talent as it's not necessary and the DMG is very lackluster.

Diona Best Team Comp

Diona Freeze Team

Support Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Genshin - Diona Diona Genshin - Ayaka Ayaka Genshin - Mona Mona Genshin - Venti Venti
Genshin - Diona Diona Genshin - Wriothesley Wriothesley Genshin - Furina Furina Genshin - Jean Jean

Diona can function in almost any Cryo team comp to function as a shielder, healer, and a battery tp recharge the energy of the Cryo Main DPS.

Diona Physical Team

Support Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS
Genshin - Diona Diona Genshin - Eula Eula Genshin - Fischl Fischl Genshin - Beidou Beidou
Genshin - Diona Diona Genshin - Freminet Freminet Genshin - Xingqiu Xingqiu Genshin - Fischl Fischl

Similar to the freeze team, Diona functions as a shield and healer unit for Physical team. In this example Diona provides Energy for Eula's high Elemental Burst cost while protecting Eula with a shield while she deals damage.

Diona Fridge Team

Genshin - Diona Diona Genshin - Ayato Ayato Genshin - Shinobu Shinobu Genshin - Traveler (Dendro) Traveler (Dendro)
Genshin - Diona Diona Genshin - Kokomi Kokomi Genshin - Shinobu Shinobu Genshin - Nahida Nahida

Diona is also an excellent support for any Freeze + Dendro core type team comps. Diona can freeze enemies who have Hydro applied to them since Dendro does not interact with cryo. At C6, she can further improve Bloom damage from her Elemental Burst.

Diona Best Constellations

Feles

Constellation and Effects

Diona's Constellations
C1 A Lingering Flavor
Regenerates 15 Energy for Diona after the effects of Signature Mix end.
C2 Shaken, Not Purred
Increases Icy Paws' DMG by 15%, and increases its shield's DMG Absorption by 15%. Additionaly, when paws hit their targets, creates a shield for other nearby characters on the field with 50% of the Icy Paws shield's DMG Absorption for 5s.
C3 A-Another Round?
Increases the Level of Signature Mix by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4 Wine Industry Slayer
Within the radius of Signature Mix, Diona's charge time for aimed shots is reduced by 60%
C5 Double Shot, On The Rocks
Increases the Level of Icy Paws by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6 Cat's Tail Closing Time
Characters within Signature Mix's radius will gain the following effects based on their HP amounts: • Increases Incoming Healing Bonus by 30% when HP falls below or is equal to 50%. • Elemental Mastery increased by 200 when HP is above 50%.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

Rating Constellation Effect / Merits
C1 ★★☆ • Regenerates 15 Energy for Diona after the effects of Signature Mix end.
C2 ★★☆ • Increases Icy Paws' DMG by 15%, and increases its shield's DMG Absorption by 15%. Additionaly, when paws hit their targets, creates a shield for other nearby characters on the field with 50% of the Icy Paws shield's DMG Absorption for 5s.
C6 ★★★ • Characters within Signature Mix's radius will gain the following effects based on their HP amounts:
• Increases Incoming Healing Bonus by 30% when HP falls below or is equal to 50%. • Elemental Mastery increased by 200 when HP is above 50%

C1 Is Good Enough

For players willing to invest a little bit more for Diona, unlocking her first constellation is a good stopping point. Her Elemental Skill already provides 4 Elemental Particles, so adding a buff that gives her 15 energy after using her burst will help keep it consistently used after cooldown.

C2 is Great for Co-op

Diona's 2nd Constellation not only provides you a stronger shield, but will also create shields for other players in co-op play. If you want to protect your friends from certain doom, get Diona's 2nd Constellation!

C6 Can Be Amazing

On paper, her C6 can be an amazing utility that she provides. However, it can be somewhat tricky to take advantage of this.

Her Elemental Burst applies Cryo on enemies via pulses, so it can mess with certain Elemental Reactions that your Main DPS should have otherwise been the one to create.

Diona Talents and How to Use

More Suited for Support

Diona Support

Diona's supportive abilities make her a great character to have in your party. As such, it is recommended to build her as a support, who can protect other characters in the field and potentially create Elemental Reactions.

Normal Attack

Normal Attack: Kätzklein Style
Perform up to 5 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charge Attack
Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, biting frost will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged frost arrow will deal Cryo Damage.
Plunge Attack:
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG on impact.

Attribute Effect (Lvl 1)
1-Hit DMG 36.1%
2-Hit DMG 33.5%
3-Hit DMG 45.6%
4-Hit DMG 43.0%
5-Hit DMG 53.8%
Aimed Shot 43.9%
Fully-Charged Aimed Shot 124%
Plunge DMG 56.8%
Low/High Plunge DMG 114%/142%

Elemental Skill

Icy Paws
Fires an Icy Paw that deals Cryo DMG to enemies and forms a shield on hit. The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Diona's Max HP, and its duration scales off the number of Icy Paws that hit their target.
Press: Rapidly fires off 2 Icy Paws.
Hold Attack:
Dashes back quickly before firing five Icy Paws. The shield created by a Hold attack will gain a 75% DMG Absorption Bonus.
The shield has a 250% Cryo DMG Absorption Bonus, and will cause your active character to become affected by Cryo at the point of formation for a short duration.
Flavor Text:
When she first started bartending, Diona found that no matter how much ice she put in her cocktails, it would never do a drunkard any harm. That all changed when she received her Vision – now she can form ice cold enough to cause severe brainfreeze. Five out of five stars!

Attribute Effect (Lvl 1)
Icy Paw DMG 41.9% per paw
Base Shield DMG Absorption 7.2% Max HP + 693
Duration 1.8s per Claw
Press CD 6.0s
Holding CD 15.0s

Elemental Skill Creates Shields

Diona Icy Paws

Diona's Elemental Skill Icy Paws allows her to launch projectiles that deal damage, while also creating a shield for protection.

The duration of her shield is based on the number of Icy Paws that hit an enemy. Keep in mind that you can press or hold her elemental skill, which means you can hold it to launch more Icy Paws and create a better shield.

Shields Scale with HP

The amount of damage that her shield can absorb is based on her max HP, which is why it is best to get artifacts that focus on boosting her HP.

Shields for Nearby Characters Unlocked at C2

Upgrading to Constellation Level 2 allows her to create shields for nearby characters, making it an effective support skill during co-op play.

Elemental Burst

Signature Mix
Tosses out a special cold brew that deals AoE Cryo DMG and creates a Drunken Mist in an AoE.
Drunken Mist: Deals continuous Cryo DMG to enemies within the field. Continuously regenerates the HP of characters within the field.
Flavor Text:
A horrific mix that even Diona considers inhumane. The horrifying foretaste should be left for one's enemies. It has a crisp aftertaste, but unfortunately, one can only feel it on one's nose and skin.

Attribute Effect (Lvl 1)
Skill DMG 80%
Continuous Field DMG 52.6%
HP Regeneration Over Time 5.34% Max HP+ 513
Duration 12.0s
CD 20.0s
Energy Cost 80

Elemental Burst Heals Characters Inside its Radius

Diona Signature Mix

Her Elemental Burst, Signature Mix, creates an AoE that deals Cryo damage to enemies within the area and heals characters at the same time. The area that the burst covers is wide, making it great against huge enemy mobs, and set up Elemental Reactions.

Passive Talent 1

Cat's Tail Secret Menu
Characters shielded by Icy Paws have their Movement SPD increased by 10% and their Stamina Consumption decreased by 10%.

Passive Talent 2

Drunkards' Farce
Opponents who enter the AoE of Signature Mix have 10% decreased ATK for 15s.

Passive Talent 3

Complimentary Bar Food

Thoughts About Diona

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Diluc ImageDiluc Diona's attitude towards me is... how should I put it? Rather rigid. I've yet to find the opportunity to speak with her properly. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my family line or— Oh? It's not? She simply despises alcohol? Huh... I never thought I'd come across another bartender like myself in Mondstadt.
Genshin Impact - Eula ImageEula Diona? She's a miracle worker when it comes to making cocktails, and to my surprise, we get along really well. She infiltrated a tavern with the hopes of tearing down the wine industry, while I infiltrated the knights to exact my revenge on them. A kindred spirit it seems...
Genshin Impact - Kaeya ImageKaeya Have you tried one of Diona's drinks? Oh right, you're still underage. Haha, such a shame, it truly is — to not be able to revel with you in such bliss.
Genshin Impact - Klee ImageKlee Diona is the best! I like listening to her, last time I heard her say, "I'm gonna destroy the wine industry in this city if it's the last thing I do!" And I'm gonna help her using my bombs! ...I don't know what a wine industry is though. Is it a monster?
Genshin Impact - Venti ImageVenti There's a special drink known far and wide at Cat's Tail. But it ah... ahh... ACHOO! 'sniffs' How about you go and fetch one for me? I'll be truly thankful, I promise.
Genshin Impact - Xiangling ImageXiangling Diona, from Springvale! Ah, I heard she mixes a great drink, so I came specifically to see her! I thought perhaps I could use her secrets in my cooking, and bring out more flavors. But the tips she gave — like soaking lizard tails in beer, or putting bits of smoked fish in dandelion wine — all came out really awful. 'sigh' Guess it's up to me to work it out myself, then.

Diona's Thoughts About Others

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Albedo ImageAlbedo About Albedo
Alchemy genius? Hmm... I wonder if he knows of a way to finally help me make a drink that people don't like?
Genshin Impact - Barbara ImageBarbara About Barbara
How come all my fans are drunk middle-aged men, while Barbara's are all young people...? Hmph! So stupid. Forget it!
Genshin Impact - Diluc ImageDiluc About Diluc
Diluc... I can't stand him! If there was no Diluc, there would be no Mondstadt wine industry; if there was no Mondstadt wine industry, Daddy wouldn't drink; and if Daddy didn't drink... he would keep me company. Ohhhh...
Genshin Impact - Jean ImageJean About Jean
Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius... A rare, mature adult who doesn't drink... But perhaps a little too earnest, cause is it just me, or are the Knights overdoing it a bit on protecting me?
Genshin Impact - Kaeya ImageKaeya About Kaeya
How is it that even a captain is a disgusting boozehound! You know, that guy who's got that laugh! He downs drink after drink. Ugh!
Genshin Impact - Klee ImageKlee About Klee
Every time Klee wants to play with me, I take her somewhere far from the tavern. Alcohol and explosives... yeah, that's a dangerous combination! I mean, do I want to destroy the wine industry of Mondstadt? Yes, but not in that sense!
Genshin Impact - Lisa ImageLisa About Lisa
Lisa is so nice and gentle! But... how can such a gentle person also be a regular drinker!? Ohhhh... Why!? ...There's really no hope for Mondstadt, is there?
Genshin Impact - Venti ImageVenti About Venti
Venti? I'm not familiar with him... He's a bard? Oh, he must be that guy who sings tunes to entertain the drunkards. Well, then I don't like him, no no no...
Genshin Impact - Xiangling ImageXiangling About Xiangling
Xiangling once gave me a "so-awful-it-goes-with-nothing" food combination she came up with, saying how it tasted absolutely terrible, blah blah blah... It didn't work, no use at all. All my little cat ears heard that night was "One more cup of that good stuff!" 'sigh'<
