Stellar-Conduct Hypercarry: Sandrone, Yae Miko, Sucrose & Diona C6

#1 Hu Tao Double Cryo Melt Vaporize

Tier SS

Vaporize is the reliable reaction here; Melt and Freeze depend on enemy aura.
Diona C6's Elemental Mastery buff needs HP above 50%, clashing with Hu Tao's low-HP bonus.
Cryo resonance only applies while enemies are Cryo-affected or Frozen.

Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Rosaria, Diona — Hu Tao Double Cryo Melt Vaporize. Hu Tao (Main DPS), Xingqiu (Sub DPS), Rosaria (Sub DPS), Diona (Support).

Core Idea

Hu Tao's Pyro Charged Attacks vaporize off Xingqiu's rain swords while Rosaria and Diona stack off-field Cryo for conditional Melt, Freeze, and Cryo resonance.

#2 Ayaka Permafrost Freeze Team (Diona)

Tier SS

A Freeze lock team built around Ayaka's Cryo damage. Kokomi's jellyfish keeps Hydro attached so enemies stay frozen, Kazuha shreds RES and shares elemental DMG, and Diona shields plus heals for a safe Burst window.
Watch out: bosses that cannot be frozen do not grant the extra Frozen-target CRIT Rate from Blizzard Strayer.

Kamisato Ayaka, Diona, Kaedehara Kazuha, Sangonomiya Kokomi — Ayaka Permafrost Freeze Team (Diona). Kamisato Ayaka (Main DPS), Diona (Support), Kaedehara Kazuha (Support), Sangonomiya Kokomi (Support).

Core Idea

Kokomi supplies constant Hydro for Freeze while Ayaka deals Cryo DMG during her Burst window. Diona shields and heals, and Kazuha groups enemies, shares elemental DMG, and applies Viridescent Venerer resistance reduction.

Rotation

  1. Diona Hold Skill for the shield and Cryo particles, then Burst for healing.
  2. Kokomi Skill to place the jellyfish and apply Hydro attachment.
  3. Kazuha Skill/Burst to Swirl Cryo and shred resistance.

#3 Ayaka Permafrost Freeze Team with Mona & Venti

Tier SS

Ayaka's Cryo DMG reacts with Hydro attachment from Mona to trigger Freeze, letting Blizzard Strayer (4) stack extra CRIT Rate.
Bosses that cannot be frozen do not grant the extra Frozen-target CRIT Rate bonus, so plan around a lower crit ceiling there.
Diona's C6 Burst field grants 200 Elemental Mastery (only above 50% HP) plus 40% reaction damage via Radiance — you must stay inside the field.

Kamisato Ayaka, Mona, Diona, Venti — Ayaka Permafrost Freeze Team with Mona & Venti. Kamisato Ayaka (Main DPS), Mona (Support), Diona (Support), Venti (Sub DPS).

Core Idea

Mona applies Hydro and Venti swirls Cryo to set up Freeze, then Ayaka unloads her Burst inside Omen and Viridescent Venerer shred. Diona keeps the team shielded and healed while feeding Cryo particles.

Rotation

  1. Diona: Hold Skill for the shield and Cryo particles, then Burst to heal and drop the field.
  2. Venti: Burst to group liftable enemies and swirl Cryo for Viridescent Venerer shred.
  3. Mona: Skill then Burst to apply Hydro and Omen's DMG bonus.
  4. Ayaka: Skill into Burst inside Omen, then Normal Attack/Charged Attack to finish the window.
  5. Repeat: refresh Diona shield, re-swirl with Venti, re-apply Mona Omen before every Ayaka Burst.

#4 Permafrost Ayaka Freeze Team — SS Tier

Tier SS

Diona is the team's Support, providing shields, healing and Freeze enabling via Cryo. Ayaka's Cryo reacts with Hydro attachment from Mona to trigger Freezing. Bosses that cannot be frozen do not grant Blizzard Strayer's extra Frozen-target CRIT Rate bonus. Diona's C6 field bonuses require staying inside the field and above 50% HP.

Kamisato Ayaka, Mona, Diona, Kaedehara Kazuha — Permafrost Ayaka Freeze Team — SS Tier. Kamisato Ayaka (Main DPS), Mona (Support), Diona (Support), Kaedehara Kazuha (Support).

#5 Diona Melt Team #2: Klee Reverse-Melt Blitz

Tier S

Diona serves as the team's Healer. Klee's DMG is amplified by Melt thanks to Ganyu's Cryo application. Klee provides frequent Pyro attacks, but a mixed Cryo lineup doesn't guarantee she triggers every Melt — Ganyu's Cryo hits can reverse-Melt instead. Keep Kazuha's Swirl resistance shred active.

Klee, Ganyu, Kaedehara Kazuha, Diona — Diona Melt Team #2: Klee Reverse-Melt Blitz. Klee (Main DPS), Ganyu (Sub DPS), Kaedehara Kazuha (Support), Diona (Support).

Core Idea

#6 Diluc Melt Core: Ayaka, Venti & Diona

Tier S

Diluc carries as the on-field Pyro driver, Ayaka supplies off-field Cryo for Melt, and Venti groups enemies while shredding resistance through Viridescent Venerer. Diona shields, heals, and generates Cryo particles. Melt uptime is inconsistent — Ayaka's Burst is short and Venti can lift targets out of melee reach.

Diluc, Kamisato Ayaka, Venti, Diona — Diluc Melt Core: Ayaka, Venti & Diona. Diluc (Main DPS), Kamisato Ayaka (Sub DPS), Venti (Sub DPS), Diona (Support).

Core Idea

Diluc amplifies his Pyro damage through Melt triggered by Ayaka's off-field Cryo Burst, while Venti clusters liftable enemies and applies Viridescent Venerer shred via Swirl. Diona provides the shield, healing, and battery needed to keep the rotation stable.
