Diona's Legendary Build

Diona Build Guide

This Diona build focuses on her unique role as a hybrid support and damage dealer. By balancing her shielding from Icy Paws and healing from Signature Mix, you can create a versatile unit that provides utility while contributing significant Cryo damage to your party.

Best Weapons

• Sacrificial Bow: This is a top choice for Diona because it allows her to reset the cooldown of her Elemental Skill. It is essential for generating extra energy particles and maintaining high shield uptime during difficult rotations.
• Favonius Warbow: Use this weapon when your team requires a dedicated battery to fund expensive Elemental Bursts. It provides high Energy Recharge and generates neutral particles on critical hits, making it excellent for general team energy management.
• Elegy for the End: This premium support option is ideal for increasing the Elemental Mastery and Attack of the entire party. It works best in reaction-heavy teams where Diona can easily trigger the weapon effect to buff her allies.

Best Artifacts

• Noblesse Oblige: This is the best artifact set for 99% of support scenarios to buff the entire team. Using a 4-piece set ensures that Diona provides a significant Attack boost to her teammates every time she uses her Elemental Burst.
• Blizzard Strayer: When pursuing a more offensive hybrid build, a 2-piece set of this artifact increases Cryo damage. It is often paired with other sets to maximize the damage output of her Elemental Skill and Burst.
• Tenacity of the Millelith: A 2-piece set is recommended for early or mid-game players who need to prioritize HP and shielding. It provides a flat health boost that directly scales the damage absorption of her Icy Paws shield.
• Gladiator's Finale: This set is used in 2-piece combinations to increase Diona's overall damage through a flat Attack percentage bonus. It is a niche choice for players looking to enhance her personal damage contributions in hybrid setups.

Teams and Stat Priorities

• For stat priorities, aim for 20k to 25k HP to ensure shield durability and 160% to 170% Energy Recharge. Use a Cryo Damage Goblet and a Critical Rate Circlet if you are building her for hybrid damage.
• The Morgana or Permafrost team uses Ganyu, Mona, and Shenhe alongside Diona for infinite freeze. Diona provides the necessary shielding, healing, and Cryo resonance to keep the team safe while maximizing critical hit consistency.
• In a Hu Tao and Xingqiu core, Diona acts as a defensive utility unit who provides shields and occasional melts. This setup allows Hu Tao to stay protected at low health while benefiting from Diona's elemental application.
• The National or Baal National team utilizes Diona for her healing and shielding while Baal, Xingqiu, and Xiangling drive high elemental damage. Diona helps maintain team survivability during the aggressive rotations required by this composition.
• Electro-charged teams featuring Yae Miko, Beidou, or Fischl benefit from Diona's ability to provide Superconduct or simply act as a flexible healer. Her shield prevents interruptions for these characters during their casting animations.
