| Strengths |
| • All around generalist support unit that can slot in for Cryo resonance, provide decent Cryo application, and ample healing and shields. • Most of Diona's kit scales with her HP, making her very simple to build and not even requiring a proper set for potency. • C6 constellation allows her to provide another form of buffing to the team by increasing their Elemental Mastery by 200 while inside her Elemental Burst. |
| Weaknesses |
| • Signature Mix is a stationary AoE, making her less effective against moving targets, or large monsters that knock the player off her healing circle. • Low DMG potential, locking her down to only be played as an off-field Cryo support. |

This build utilizes Diona as both a buffer thanks to Noblesse Oblige, and a dedicated healer and shielder thanks to the Artifact stats. Most of her ER requirements will be covered by her weapon, allowing her to slot into more HP.
If someone else is already using Noblesse Oblige, Diona can instead opt for a two-piece mix of different HP and/or Energy Recharge sets.
| For a Support Diona |
| 1st | Elemental Burst |
| 2nd | Elemental Skill |
Diona's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst are both essential in keeping your party members alive, so level them up to increase their effectiveness. We don't recommend leveling up her Normal Attack talent as it's not necessary and the DMG is very lackluster.
| Artifact | Artifact Bonuses |
| 1st | Noblesse Oblige | 2-PC: Elemental Burst DMG +20%. 4-PC: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack. |
| 2nd | Tenacity of the Millelith | 2-PC: HP +20% |

List of Bows
| Support | Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
| Diona | Ayaka | Mona | Venti |
| Diona | Wriothesley | Furina | Jean |
Diona can function in almost any Cryo team comp to function as a shielder, healer, and a battery tp recharge the energy of the Cryo Main DPS.
| Support | Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Sub-DPS |
| Diona | Eula | Fischl | Beidou |
| Diona | Freminet | Xingqiu | Fischl |
Similar to the freeze team, Diona functions as a shield and healer unit for Physical team. In this example Diona provides Energy for Eula's high Elemental Burst cost while protecting Eula with a shield while she deals damage.
| Support | Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
| Diona | Ayato | Shinobu | Traveler (Dendro) |
| Diona | Kokomi | Shinobu | Nahida |
Diona is also an excellent support for any Freeze + Dendro core type team comps. Diona can freeze enemies who have Hydro applied to them since Dendro does not interact with cryo. At C6, she can further improve Bloom damage from her Elemental Burst.
