Diona's Elemental Skill, Shields of Thorns, grants a Cryo shield that allows for cleansing. Every time you swap characters with the shield up, it applies Cryo, acting as a cleanse. Build Recommendations:

• Use a Catalyst or Bow to maximize Diona's Elemental Skill's cleanse effect.
• Consider equipping Diona with a 4-piece Gladiator set for increased Elemental Skill damage.

Team Compositions:

• Diona can be used in a Freeze team with characters like Qiqi and Keqing to apply Cryo and Electro reactions.
• She can also be used in a Cryo team with characters like Chongyun and Xingqiu to apply Cryo reactions.

Farming Locations:

• Farm Winds of Dawn in the Winds of Dawn domain to obtain Winds of Dawn artifacts.
• Farm Gladiator artifacts in the Winds of Dawn domain.

Elemental Reactions:

• Diona's Cryo shield can apply Cryo to enemies, triggering Freeze reactions with Electro characters.
• The Freeze reaction can be triggered with characters like Qiqi and Keqing.

EM/ER Tips:

• Use Diona's Elemental Skill to cleanse enemies and trigger Freeze reactions.
• Swap characters with Diona's shield up to apply Cryo and trigger Freeze reactions.

SUPPORT
As a support, Diona's typically used for three things; Shielding, Healing, and Cryo particle generation. Pairing Diona with Cryo damage dealers such as Ayaka, Ganyu, and Eula allows you to funnel energy into them while providing them a shield. Weapons such as Sacrificial Bow and Favonius Warbow greatly increase her potential as a battery.
Regarding Weapon Choices:

• Sacrificial Bow: Preferred over Favonius Warbow at higher refinements when batterying another Cryo character.
• Favonius Warbow: It is recommended to build some Crit Rate in substats to have a higher chance of triggering the bow passive for energy.
• Silvershower Heartstrings & Recurve Bow: These bows will be your best choice for stronger shields, however the Energy Recharge and useful passives of other weapons will generally make them a suboptimal pick.

• Noblesse Oblige (4): This set provides an teamwide ATK% buff while also increasing burst damage - Diona does not have the best uptime on this set, however, she may be the best option to use this set.
• Instructor (4): This set is a niche option for Diona. It can be considered in teams which value EM and where she can trigger a reaction while on-field. Do keep in mind that Instructor being limited to a 4* set means your stat potential will be lower.
• Tenacity of the Millelith (4): This set is a niche option for Diona. It can be considered in teams including some variants of Ganyu Freeze which have shorter rotation lengths meaning Diona's burst will not be used every rotation, and where you can snapshot the ATK% buff onto Ganyu's burst.

• Full Stack HP% is recommended if you want stronger shields but a weaker heal. You can use Healing Bonus Circlet if you want a nice balance between the two.

• Prioritise whichever your Diona is geared for (shielder or healer), if built for a balance between the two, level both equally.

Icy Paws

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!

Fires an Icy Paw that deals Cryo DMG to opponents 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
Dashes back quickly before firing 5 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.
