DIONA BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | HP% | HP% | HP%
SHIELD HEALER: Diona is really easy to build as a shield support. All she needs is a LOT of HP and as much ER on her as you can get so she can have her heals up and ready along with a strong shield.
BURST SUPPORT: If you want to get more out of her towards the end game give her HP and ER, followed by ATK, CR, CD, and EM. This will give her additional damage and make her more useful than just a shield and healer.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best bows for Diona. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.

STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES

- Diona has so many uses in Genshin Impact!
- She is a shield and healer in one which eliminates having two characters.
- She is an amazing Cryo battery if you use a Cryo dps
- She is excellent in exploration to clear many challenges that involve range weapons.
WEAKNESSES
- As a bow user, she’ll require some aiming skills to get the most out of her.
- She is weak against Cryo monsters since they are immune.
- In comparison to other shield characters, hers is relatively weak.
RANKING
Combat Rating (6/10): Diona isn’t really used for combat as her 1st skill doesn’t do a lot of damage. However, her shield and heal makers her an excellent support. She also has no gimics and is easy to use.
Exploration (10/10): She is a must have on your exploration team as she can pop the balloons and blow up bombs from a distance making it easier to complete these mini quests. Her long range also makes it easy to knock any enemies off of towers. Lastly she offers a cooking bonus that can double the dish.
Spiral Abyss (9/10): This is amazing here. Since she offers both a heal and shield, this makes it a lot safer for your team. Her E also has a pretty low cool down and she is good battery since she gains energy with every tap.
Artifact Farming (8/10): She serves the same role here as she does in the Abyss.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (8/10): It depends on the boss, but again her support abilities come in handy here.
