Diona Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: Support

Diona is a 4-star Cryo Bow character in Genshin Impact that best functions as a Cryo Shield & Support. Ascending Diona grants bonus Cryo DMG Bonus, complementing a stat priority of Energy Recharge, HP%, CRIT Rate. For the Stellar & Cryo Defensive Support setup, equip Heart of the Furnace (Inverted Glacier) with HP% Sands, HP% Goblet, and HP%, Healing Bonus, or CRIT Rate Circlet. Elegy for the End (Energy Recharge) is the top recommended weapon, while Sacrificial Bow serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

Diona provides shields, healing, Cryo application, and an immense +200 EM team buff at C6. Noblesse Oblige is her standard support artifact set, while Heart of the Furnace buffs partywide Stellar reactions. Pair with Elegy for the End or Sacrificial Bow.
