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.
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.
Artifact | Artifact Bonuses | |
---|---|---|
1st | Noblesse Oblige |
2-PC: Elemental Burst DMG +20%. 4-PC: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack. |
2nd | Tenacity of the Millelith | 2-PC: HP +20% |
Emblem of Severed Fate | 2-PC: Energy Recharge +20%% | |

---|---|---|---|
Diona | Ayaka | Mona | Venti |
Diona | Wriothesley | Furina | 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.
Support | Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Sub-DPS |
---|---|---|---|
Diona | Eula | Fischl | Beidou |
Diona | Freminet | Xingqiu | 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.
Support | Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Diona | Ayato | Shinobu | Traveler (Dendro) |
Diona | Kokomi | Shinobu | 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'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%. |
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% |
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.
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!
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'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: 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% |

Aimed Shot | 43.9% |
Fully-Charged Aimed Shot | 124% |
Plunge DMG | 56.8% |
Low/High Plunge DMG | 114%/142% |
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 |
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.
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.
Upgrading to Constellation Level 2 allows her to create shields for nearby characters, making it an effective support skill during co-op play.
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 |
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.
Cat's Tail Secret Menu |

Character | In-Game Thoughts |
---|---|
Diluc | 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. |
Eula | 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... |
Kaeya | 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. |
Klee | 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? |
Venti | 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. |
Xiangling | 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. |
Character | In-Game Thoughts |
---|---|
Albedo |
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? |
Barbara |
About Barbara How come all my fans are drunk middle-aged men, while Barbara's are all young people...? Hmph! So stupid. Forget it! |
Diluc |
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... |
Jean |
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? |
Kaeya |
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! |
Klee |
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! |
Lisa |
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? |
Venti |
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... |
Xiangling |
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'< |
