Diona is a 4-star Cryo Bow support who supplies a Skill shield, Cryo particles and Burst healing. Her updated kit also supports Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl teams.
Build at a glance: Sacrificial Bow or Favonius Warbow; Noblesse Oblige (4) if the team has no other user. Choose HP% / ER Sands, HP% Goblet and HP% / Healing Bonus Circlet. Add CRIT Rate for Favonius triggers.
Talent priority: Skill for shielding, then Burst for healing. Normal Attack levels are optional for a support build. C6 adds EM under its HP condition and reaction bonuses under the corresponding Radiance state.

For 20 seconds after using Icy Paws, a party member triggering Superconduct, Stellar-Conduct, Cryo Swirl or Stellar Swirl causes Diona to fire three additional Icy Paws, at most once every 3.5 seconds. These extra paws do not generate Elemental Particles or a shield.
Diona enters Radiance: Stellar-Conduct inside a Polestar Field, or Radiance: Stellar Swirl for 8 seconds after a nearby teammate triggers Stellar Swirl.

Cat’s Tail Closing Time
Diona Constellation Level 6
Diona gains 25% Max HP. Characters inside Signature Mix gain 30% Incoming Healing Bonus at 50% HP or below, or 200 EM above 50% HP.
In Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, characters inside the field deal 40% more Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct reaction damage. In Radiance: Stellar Swirl, they deal 40% more Cryo Swirl and Stellar Swirl reaction damage. These effects require C6 and the corresponding state.
Build enough ER to use Signature Mix when the team needs healing, then prioritize HP for her shield and healing. Hold Skill fires five paws and gives a 75% shield absorption bonus. Burst heals inside its field; the shield comes from Skill.
Sacrificial Bow: Skill hits can reset its cooldown, giving another shield cast and more Cryo particles. Transfer those particles to the teammate who needs Energy.
Sacrificial Bow
Type:
Energy Recharge
After damaging an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40/50/60/70/80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30/26/22/18/14s.
Favonius Warbow
Type:
Energy Recharge
Favonius Warbow creates neutral particles after Diona lands a CRIT hit while on field. Add enough CRIT Rate to trigger it reliably; additional passive Icy Paws cannot supply ordinary Cryo particles.
Noblesse Oblige (4) supports ATK-scaling teammates if no one else uses it. Main stats: HP% / ER Sands, HP% Goblet, HP% or Healing Bonus Circlet; use CRIT Rate when Favonius needs help. Substats: ER to sustain Burst, then HP% and CRIT Rate for Favonius.
If another teammate already holds Noblesse, Maiden Beloved (4) focuses on healing, or use HP% / ER combinations to improve shielding and Energy. Instructor (4) grants 120 EM after Diona triggers a reaction on field, but its 4-star stats weaken her shield.
Noblesse Oblige
Substats:
Energy Recharge / HP%
Healing Bonus
Ganyu Forever-Freezing Team
Diona is a battery and shield in the team. Diona Support build is used.
Diona Stellar-Conduct Team
Sandrone / Yae Miko / Xilonen / Diona
Main DPS
Sandrone
Sandrone stays on field for Fagio’s Charged Attacks. Apply Cryo and Electro to trigger Stellar-Conduct, maintain the Polestar Field, and use Skill to lower Decoding Power. Cast Burst in Radiance after building Refined Tactics stacks. Mailed Flower is an event option if already owned; Lithic Blade is an alternative only when the party supplies enough Liyue teammates.
Sub DPS
Yae Miko
Yae Miko provides off-field Electro through Sesshou Sakura. Entering the Polestar Field activates her Radiance state, allowing the enhanced attacks in her passives to add Stellar-Conduct damage. Refresh her turrets before Sandrone’s field time; C1 and C2 team buffs require those constellations.
Healer / Support
Xilonen
Activate Xilonen’s Source Samples to reduce the relevant elemental resistance, then return to Sandrone. This team has enough Cryo / Electro / Pyro / Hydro teammates to enable her support and healing setup. If using Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, maintain its elemental bonus through the appropriate reaction. If using Instructor, trigger a reaction on field to activate its EM buff.
Healer / Support
Diona (C6)
Diona uses Hold Skill for a shield and Cryo particles, then Burst for healing. Choice Treasures adds three Icy Paws after qualifying reactions, but those extra paws do not create shields or particles. At C6, characters inside her Burst field gain 200 EM only above 50% HP, and the corresponding Radiance state adds 40% reaction damage. These bonuses require C6 and staying inside the field.
