Diona's Elemental Skill grants you a Cryo shield which allows cleansing. Every time you swap characters with the shield up, it applies Cryo. This acts as a cleanse.
This cleanse can be particularly useful in certain team compositions, such as those that rely on Elemental Reactions or Elemental Absorption.
To maximize the effectiveness of Diona's shield, consider the following:
- Swap characters frequently to apply Cryo to enemies and trigger Elemental Reactions
- Use Diona's shield in combination with other Elemental abilities to create powerful Reaction chains
- Pair Diona with characters that can take advantage of the Cryo application, such as those with Pyro or Electro abilities
