Diona is a 4-star Cryo character that wields a Bow in Genshin Impact. Her gameplay focuses on support and healing, offering strong utility as a shield provider and healer. Her Elemental Skill, "Icy Paws," fires Cryo projectiles that create a shield scaling off her max HP, making her effective at protecting teammates while applying Cryo. Her Elemental Burst, "Signature Mix," creates a "Drunken Mist" that heals allies over time and continuously deals AoE Cryo damage to enemies within its field. Lore-wise, Diona is a bartender at The Cat's Tail in Mondstadt, ironically determined to ruin the wine industry despite her unmatched talent for mixing drinks.

Basics Of Using Diona
Use Elemental Skill (Hold) to Create a Shield
Diona's Elemental Skill has two versions: a Tap and Hold version. The Hold version is more utilized since the shield it creates has a longer duration. It also applies Cryo and hits 5 times, making Favonius Warbow or Sacrificial Bow a good weapon to use with her.
Summary of Diona's Elemental Skill Effects | |
---|---|
Tap | [ Shield Duration ]: 4.8s [ Skill Cooldown ]: 6s [ No. of Hits ]: 2 "Icy Paw" attacks |
Hold | [ Shield Duration ]:12s [ Skill Cooldown ]: 15s [ No. of Hits ]: 5 "Icy Paw" attacks |
Shield HP | - 13% of Diona's Max HP +1524 |
▲ Diona's Skill cooldown makes the Hold version seem worse but with Sacrificial Bow and the 5 attacks, she can easily trigger its Weapon Skill and refresh her Skill cooldown.
Increases Movement Speed and Decreases Stamina Consumption
Diona's first Passive makes her shield buff movement speed and decreases stamina consumption by 10%. This can affect any character who is shielded by her.
Use Elemental Burst to Apply Cryo and Heal Characters
Diona's Elemental Burst targets an enemy and creates a circular field around the target. It deals Cryo damage to enemies periodically and heals characters in its AoE. Diona's Constellation 6 enhances her Elemental Burst to include an Elemental Mastery buff of 200 to any allies within it.
Roles & Playstyle of Diona and Her Strengths and Weakness
Off-Field Support Diona
Diona's kit is centered on being a Sustain Support for her allies. She can easily provide Shields with her Elemental Skill and healing with her Elemental Burst. Additionally, her Off-Field Cryo application makes her great for Melt teams.

- Multi-hit Elemental Skill makes her a great holder for Sacrificial Bow or Favonius Warbow. |
- Does great as Cryo battery for Energy-hungry Cryo characters. |
Cons |
- Elemental Burst range is rather small and can be restrictive if a highly mobile On-Field character is used. |

- Diona is great with any damage dealers that prefer having a shielder to prevent interruptions to their attack combos. - If C6, she becomes better to use with Pyro Damage Dealers since her hefty EM buff can greatly boost their Melt damage. |
Since Diona can apply Cryo Off-Field, she's best used with Pyro characters like Mavuika or Arlecchino since both are able to benefit from her shields. If she's Constellation 6, her Elemental Mastery buff can also help increase the Melt damage Pyro On-Fielders do when they're in her Elemental Burst's range.

Uses Of Diona's Elemental Skill
Use To Get A Cryo Shield
You can use Diona's Elemental Skill as an opened during battle to get yourself a Cryo Shield. It's not as hefty as other shields, but it's on low cooldown so you can keep on generating it through a battle.
Apply Cryo To An Enemy
Besides the shield, Diona's Elemental Skill will also toss out Cryo projectiles that afflict enemies hit by it with Cryo. Since it's homing, it's an easy way to proc Cryo as a set up for Elemental Reactions.
Those Protected With Shields Gets A Movement Boost
With the passive "Cat's Tail Secret Menu", characters shielded by Diona's shield gets their movement speed increased by 10% and Stamina Consumption will also decrease by 10%
Uses Of Diona's Elemental Burst
Unleash To Heal Characters
It's best to save Diona's Elemental Burst for when your Main DPS needs healing. It's an on-field ability and will greatly benefit your active character with its constant healing.
Apply Cryo To Enemies Within Range
If you need a quick, multi-target Cryo application, Diona's Elemental Burst will work with that. All enemies within its field will be applied with Cryo so you can set it up for Elemental Reactions.
Should You Pull for Diona's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Aim For C6 if You're Able To
Constellation Priority |
---|
C6 > C1 > C2 |
C6 Is Ideal But Not Necessary
Diona performs reasonably fair as a sustain option at C0, but her constellations add features to her kit that upgrades her from a usable option to a decent alternative in her teams. Her C1 refunds her energy after she uses her Burst, which lowers her Energy requirements. C2 strengthens her shield and makes it so that party members in multiplayer also get a shield. Lastly, her C6 improves the healing potential of her Burst while also giving a modest amount of Elemental Mastery to the on-field character that is currently standing within her Burst field.
C6 will be her best constellation overall, due to the Elemental Mastery that will be nice to have for reaction-based teams and by virtue of activating C1 and C2 in the process. If you want to upgrade Diona's contribution to a team, then going to C6, if you have the means to do so, will make her a more competent healer. However, if you are already satisfied with her performance at her baseline, then there is no need to actively pull for her. Consider any constellation level beyond C0 a nice bonus to have.

Who Is Diona?
An Alcohol-Hating Bartender at Cat's Tail

Due to her father's alcoholism, Diona hated alcohol and vowed to bring Mondstadt's alcohol industry down by becoming a bartender that creates "strange" beverages. However, this endeavor did not work in her favor due to a blessing she unknowingly obtained some time ago.
Blessed by an Oceanid
In Version 4.1, the Waterborne Poetry event revealed that the "spring fairy" at Springvale's pond was an Oceanid. Diona realized her dream was real and learned the "curse" she thought she had was a blessing from Callirhoe.
Descendant of the Katzlein Bloodline

Diona's cat-like features such as her ears and tail come from being a descendant of the Katzlein bloodline. In Diona's namecard, it was implied that their cat features were not originally part of her bloodline but rather became that way after a prank of a certain somebody.
Daughter of Draff
Diona's father is Draff, a hunter NPC found in Springvale that sells the meat they've hunted. Just like Diona, her father also has Katzlein features.
