Diona is a 4-star Cryo bow user from Mondstadt and a bartender at The Cat’s Tail. Despite her distaste for alcohol, she’s beloved for her unique Cryo support toolkit.

With high uptime on both her Skill and Burst, Diona is a flexible choice in both F2P and meta teams.

She should stay off-field in most rotations, acting as a battery and healer. Pair with Cryo or Freeze-focused teams to maximize her Cryo utility.
