Want to learn how to create the best build for Diona in Genshin Impact?Cryo Bow-wielding cat person Diona was one of the first new heroes added inGenshin Impact’s regular content updates. Though she appears cute and fluffy, she’s actually very standoffish, and her sweet aesthetic likely has something to do with her job as a bartender at the Cat’s Tail in Mondstadt — which she hates, incidentally, as a committed teetotaller.

Best Genshin Impact Diona build for Support
Best weapon: Sacrificial Bow
Alternatives:Favonius Warbow, Elegy for the End
Between her utility as a healer and her potential for powerful elemental attacks, Diona’s weapon is really the least important part of her build, so don’t go out of your way to equip her with any 5* bows. TheSacrificial Bowis surely the best fit for Diona, as its effects come into play only after she attacks with her Elemental Skill (see Talents, below). After Diona unleashes IcyPaws, loosing a follow-up shot with the Sacrificial Bow has a high chance to end the skill’s cooldown, allowing Diona to quickly get back to doing what she does best.
Diona’s also great with theFavonius Warbow, which provides excellent boosts to Energy Recharge (a stat you’ll need to constantly provide heals for your team). Alternatively, if you’re determined to equip Diona with the snazziest of weapons,Elegy for the Endis a great 5-star pick for Diona, boosting both Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery. We’d recommend saving this bow for another character if needed, though, because Diona’s Bow won’t be used much.
Best artifacts: Maiden Beloved
Alternative:Noblesse Oblige
Two Artifact sets have a claim to being the best for Diona, as both support her utility as a healer, though in very different ways.
TheNoblesse Obligeset is a less obvious choice for a healer build, but in Diona’s capable paws it can be very useful as such. Both levels of Noblesse Oblige’s bonuses boost Elemental Burst, which in Diona’s case is her healing talent. With two pieces equipped, Signature Mix will deal an additional 20% damage, while with four pieces equipped all party members will enjoy a 20% increase in their attacks for 12 seconds — all while the talent’s base benefits heal them at the same time. For either Artifact set, here are the stats we’d recommend for Diona’s Artifacts:
Talent priority: Icy Paws (Elemental Skill)
Secondary:Signature Mix (Elemental Burst
Diona’sIcy PawsElemental Skill is her most powerful attack, and should be your main priority when levelling up her talents. However, if you’re focusing on building Diona as a healer, you definitely shouldn’t neglect herSignature MixElemental Burst either.
