the reason being is that Noelle (and by proxy, Xinyan's) shield has a long cool down. Zhongli's shield can be spammed and provides a Geo battery on field while Diona's, although a frail shield even on hold e skill, can be spammed and has a utility to proc superconduct.

@@skybattler2624 Noelle also sucks at support. You only use her for the shield, since her ult is basically useless for a support.

In particular, Noelle helped me clear Floor 12 because those Geovishaps and that geo wave made Diona's shields worthless.

Quick diona tip: You can invest less crate into your diona and just slap fav bow on her, cuz you can just aim for enemy weak spots to proc the weapon passive
YEP! been saying to people that Favonious is better for her. 1. Free Particles for All characters 2. Higher Energy Recharge 3. Spamming her E twice is redundant since if you have high HP your shield would be tanky
idk, unless you have a high refinement fav bow or are building crit on diona, i would just recommend sac bow. sac bow, while having lower ER than fav bow, allows you to generate twice the amount of cryo particles. this allows you to forgo an ER sands and instead go for HP sands. Sac bow also allows you to choose either HP or healing headpiece, while fav bow kinda requires a crit headpiece. this means a smaller shield/healing. sac bow: 40% chance to activate every hit, for five hits of icy paws, has 92% chance of activation. fav bow: Your CR (let's say 60% CR) x 60% chance to proc at r1 x 5 hits of icy paws have a 89% to activate. This means you would forgo an HP or healing headpiece in exchange for crit, which is almost a dead stat for support diona if not for fav bow's passive. not to mention 60% crit on diona requires a bit more artifact farming and substat optimization because not only are you looking for crit rate on substats, you're also going for ER. if you have a sac bow, just slap hp/hp/hp on her artifacts and you get a ~8400 shield at talent 8. just get even one energy recharge roll (out of the potential 4 or 5) on all of your artifacts. you have a respectable shield, and around 3600 healing per tick on her burst. you get a slightly lower energy generation than if you run fav bow (unless you have another cryo user on the team, in which case sac bow all the way) but you get way better shields and healing. my lvl 80 diona , with a lvl 50 sac bow and 0 artifact feeding/rerolling for better substats, has 175% ER, 23.6k health and around 8.4k shield durability with + 16 artifacts.

actually w the new set qiqi is really freakin good also, so that’s something to note :) i love qiqi too and refuse to bench her even with all the slander
@@laralepo1071 I've done the other way around mainly because i have a policy to build every 5* i get as F2P and Diona was wearing maiden's set which i dislike. The thing is, now i'm not using neither =/
Make sure when you use her E to collect the particles before you switch to another character. Also, I would 100% say go with the Sac bow until you are comfortable with her. After that, make your choice based on what was said here and based on your artifacts. I still run Sac on her in the same way that I run sac on Xinyan (I'm getting friendship 10 with everyone).
1st video I watched in this channel, sub immediately. Explains builds and skills clearly. If you need healing bonus, just eat a Golden Crab (from Mona story quest. F2P obtainable)
Millileth is actually good as the Atk buff stacks with other effects and you can Tap then hold for the effect, or run Sac and refresh shield just before the effect ends.
Started levelling her since I got her to C1 from the event and needed a cryo character + another shielder (because you can never have enough shielding even with Noelle and Xinyan)...have her at C3 now but I'm still in artifact hell trying to get an HP goblet. I have an atk one as a placeholder until I get one. Rate my shitty build (AR 55 if that matters to anyone): Desired-Lv 80 at least, Lv 90 bow, Talents at least to 8 with priority being E skill, Burst, then Normal Attack Diona (Lv 70, C3) Talents: 2/6/6 Bow: Sacrificial Bow (Lv 80) Artifacts: Noblesse Oblige (5pc) -Flower: Lv 20 -Plume: Lv 20 -Sands: Lv 20 HP stat (I do have an ER one in reserve to build up and switch to when I get the HP goblet) -Goblet: Lv 20 ATK% stat (placeholder for HP goblet) -Circlet: Lv 20 HP% (might get a Crit Rate one if artifact gods bless me since I still want to do some kind of damage even if she's only geared to support) Total Stats: -Max HP: 19,959 -ATK: 1,515 -DEF: 646 -EM: 16 -Crit Rate/DMG: 14.7%/95.8% (abysmal lol) -ER: 184.3% -Cryo DMG Bonus: 12.0%
I just managed to C2 her from the banner and damn she’s amazing. I had to build her cuz contending tides with those ruin guards was a nightmare but having her and ZhongLi in one team is fucking amazing
First of all, Hi XD So in my opinion, I would never play Diona with the Noblesse set cause she don't need necessarily a dmg boost on her burst (which is supposed to heal) in the first point, so only the four-set effect could be useful for the team. But of course it's just my opinion and you can play her with whatever set you want XD Short warning: this comment will be probably longer then necessarily but I try to explain and give examples how you can play Diona: I recommend and also play her with the four Millelith set cause her shield and also her burst is based on her HP and the Millelith set gives a 20% HP boost and the four set effect is, it increases the team atk for few seconds if you activate the elemental skill. The first effect could be also useful if you don't wanna run her with only artifacts with HP main stats if you also wanna focus on cryo dmg/energy recharge or whatever. Dionas elemental skill cooldown isn't that long so you can literally trigger the four effect bonus pretty often and you "always" have a atk boost. So that's why I think this set is a good option instead of full Noblesse. If you still think Noblesse is useful for your team then run that set, it mostly depends on your team charas cause if you also already have a character with a full Noblesse set (for example Bennett) in your team, the effect won't stack so it would be useless and you can prefer to the Millelith set and get more atk on your team. Little long extra: Why someone like Bennett would be ever used in a team with Diona? Well mostly to create melt reactions easily if you don't have Ganyu so if you add another Pyro character and a hydro support in your team, you can deal a lot of vaporize/melt dmg. Example: Yanfei, Bennett, Xingqiu, Diona I'm absolutely sorry for the long comment and it might be useless in the most parts but I wanted to share my opinion so, well XD Have a great day you all!
I use 2 piece Noblesse and 2 piece Maiden's with a healing bonus headpiece! Most of the other artifacts have hp stats. I use her as my shielder, and healer(very useful for co-op domains) And I do a 2 piece Noblesse for supercoduct/melt.
I'm not too good at elemental rotation and my dps is meh so I'm very dependant to her and Zhongli's shield. Pretty lucky on pulling her and finally unlocked her to C6. I was able to clear floor 12 before abyss reset.
Actually, if you have xingqiu on your hu tao team, hu tao with 200 EM can deal more reaction dmg than 50% HP. Plus, you also have access to melt, and xingqiu will prevent the reverse melt
My recommendation is 2pc Millelith set and 2pc maidens beloved set. The +20% HP is perfect to increase her shield strenght and the 2pc Maidens beloved is the other best 2pc option which increases her healing. So more shield and more healing. Thats all we want. I dont recommend running her energy recharge sand and cryo dmg goblet. Stay away from that its just not worth bcs u wont deal enough dmg anyways. Use HP%/HP%/HP% with energy recharge sub stat on every artifact. As bow, definitely use sacrificial bow. Otherwise use favonious bow. You will have more than enough energy recharge this way. - day 1 player btw
Got my first Diona at AR56, and got her maxed before getting Zhongli, then I watched this guide because I needed a 2nd shielder, Noelle is just not enough. Great guide!
oh dang, that’s why everyone said her shield was so good. i was confused because whenever i tap her skill the shield is so weak that it can barely take one hit. now i realise i have to hold it.
i didn't have diona be4 this banner. Whilst trying to pull for 1 constellation for Yanfei, I got 5 for diona, and then today i got my free copy. I wan't planing on building her,but now that she's c6 i'm more interested lol
We need a character that gets stronger the more HP it recovers through healing. Kinda like HuTao, but not requiring to stay at low hp, so healing would be most useful while a shield would be harmful, unlike HuTao who benefits from shield while healing decreases her damage. Then Maiden's set might actually have a use of some sort.
The 1/1/1 low investment Maiden Diona I got in the back slot for Ganyu will finally see some improvement after this guide. She ran okay aside Zhongli, but now with some constellations she will support a team of her own. Thanks for your guide, helped a lot!
Definitely needed this as i wanna pair Razor with another Cryo instead of Kaeya as to just reap the sprinting passives from both in two different teams because they don't stack together
I used her in co-op with a xiao, ayato and a hutao, and everything was great until they started the domain without me .(i have bad wifi and it takes a while to load) they all died as i kept telling them to come heal in the corner xD she's such a broken support fr will never regret building her
I've been waiting for this man, I have no shielder on my 2nd abyss team (Zhongli on the first team) I'm still trying to build my Diona. Finally I know the best build for her 💯
My favorite build on her is 2pc Scholar (exile works too), 2pc Maiden with an energy recharge Sands. Run the scholar pieces on the flower and feather. I get a beastly shield, and I can ult frequently and easily due to the energy recharge.
Got Diana about a week ago and I'm running the same bow works really well thanks for the breakdown 😁 I'm still super new I put some work into her and happy it was a go choice
Hey Zy0x. So, I started using Harbinger of Dawn (3 star sword) for Albedo, and I have seen other videos showing that if you stack enough Def (which is not that hard) and completely ignore his burst, his transient blossoms can deals 20k-25k per hit. I guess it's worth testing out, don't you think?
Also a good note for anyone who knows how to do it, if you can dragonstrike, diona can make it easier to pull off, I run diona with Noelle for beyblade maid dragonstrike.
I decided to build my diona cuz she fits my aesthetic perfectly like she's so adorable !!!! She's basically carried my party with her shield it's great
I feel like the new character for inazuma, raiden shogun, has given a much needed buff to most characters. I almost never touched my yanfei or my diona, and then when i got Ei, her E made literally anyone viable.
I have elegy and I can say it's pretty good on her and easy to proc on her ult. My comp is hutao(homa)/kaeya(sacrifice)/sucrose(widsith)/diona(elegy). yeah wish I had xingqiu and my comp would be perfect

fav bow: Your CR (let's say 60% CR) x 60% chance to proc at r1 x 5 hits of icy paws have a 89% to activate. This means you would forgo an HP or healing headpiece in exchange for crit, which is almost a dead stat for support diona if not for fav bow's passive. not to mention 60% crit on diona requires a bit more artifact farming and substat optimization because not only are you looking for crit rate on substats, you're also going for ER.
if you have a sac bow, just slap hp/hp/hp on her artifacts and you get a ~8400 shield at talent 8. just get even one energy recharge roll (out of the potential 4 or 5) on all of your artifacts. you have a respectable shield, and around 3600 healing per tick on her burst. you get a slightly lower energy generation than if you run fav bow (unless you have another cryo user on the team, in which case sac bow all the way) but you get way better shields and healing.

same... :(
actually w the new set qiqi is really freakin good also, so that’s something to note :) i love qiqi too and refuse to bench her even with all the slander
This goes to show how much Qiqi needs a buff.
True
A buff that could makes qiqi a healer and dps at the same time
please
My qiqi has been benched ever since i got zhongli and diona. I kinda miss her
@@laralepo1071 I've done the other way around mainly because i have a policy to build every 5* i get as F2P and Diona was wearing maiden's set which i dislike. The thing is, now i'm not using neither =/
One of the best character to provide Energy Particles (pairing her with Xiao was fun)
Make sure when you use her E to collect the particles before you switch to another character. Also, I would 100% say go with the Sac bow until you are comfortable with her. After that, make your choice based on what was said here and based on your artifacts. I still run Sac on her in the same way that I run sac on Xinyan (I'm getting friendship 10 with everyone).
now you can't just leave the video like this and NOT do a talk about DPS diona lmaoo
When doing abyss she is a must have, she’s perfect as a second Zhongli that way both teams benefit from a shield and they both scale off hp
OHHH YESSS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!! Thank you so much for this video, it was SO WELL EXPLAINED!
Diona carried my Xiao in floor 11
I love you Diona
1st video I watched in this channel, sub immediately. Explains builds and skills clearly.
If you need healing bonus, just eat a Golden Crab (from Mona story quest. F2P obtainable)
"Now let's talk about DPS Diona"
Why'd you have to end it on that 😂
maaaan how am i supposed to ever pick a comp to play when youre so good at selling me on everyone
Millileth is actually good as the Atk buff stacks with other effects and you can Tap then hold for the effect, or run Sac and refresh shield just before the effect ends.
Thank you for this guide! I am trying to use diona as my support for my team and this really helped me :D
Diona's c6 is insane. Her ult brought back my Diluc from 50hp back to full in floor 12. And the EM buff is nutty for Diluc-Xingqiu.
Started levelling her since I got her to C1 from the event and needed a cryo character + another shielder (because you can never have enough shielding even with Noelle and Xinyan)...have her at C3 now but I'm still in artifact hell trying to get an HP goblet. I have an atk one as a placeholder until I get one.
Rate my shitty build (AR 55 if that matters to anyone):
Desired-Lv 80 at least, Lv 90 bow, Talents at least to 8 with priority being E skill, Burst, then Normal Attack
Diona (Lv 70, C3)
Talents: 2/6/6
Bow: Sacrificial Bow (Lv 80)
Artifacts: Noblesse Oblige (5pc)
-Flower: Lv 20
-Plume: Lv 20
-Sands: Lv 20 HP stat (I do have an ER one in reserve to build up and switch to when I get the HP goblet)
-Goblet: Lv 20 ATK% stat (placeholder for HP goblet)
-Circlet: Lv 20 HP% (might get a Crit Rate one if artifact gods bless me since I still want to do some kind of damage even if she's only geared to support)
Total Stats:
-Max HP: 19,959
-ATK: 1,515
-DEF: 646
-EM: 16
-Crit Rate/DMG: 14.7%/95.8% (abysmal lol)
-ER: 184.3%
-Cryo DMG Bonus: 12.0%
I just managed to C2 her from the banner and damn she’s amazing. I had to build her cuz contending tides with those ruin guards was a nightmare but having her and ZhongLi in one team is fucking amazing
First of all, Hi XD
So in my opinion, I would never play Diona with the Noblesse set cause she don't need necessarily a dmg boost on her burst (which is supposed to heal) in the first point, so only the four-set effect could be useful for the team. But of course it's just my opinion and you can play her with whatever set you want XD
Short warning: this comment will be probably longer then necessarily but I try to explain and give examples how you can play Diona:
I recommend and also play her with the four Millelith set cause her shield and also her burst is based on her HP and the Millelith set gives a 20% HP boost and the four set effect is, it increases the team atk for few seconds if you activate the elemental skill.
The first effect could be also useful if you don't wanna run her with only artifacts with HP main stats if you also wanna focus on cryo dmg/energy recharge or whatever.
Dionas elemental skill cooldown isn't that long so you can literally trigger the four effect bonus pretty often and you "always" have a atk boost.
So that's why I think this set is a good option instead of full Noblesse. If you still think Noblesse is useful for your team then run that set, it mostly depends on your team charas cause if you also already have a character with a full Noblesse set (for example Bennett) in your team, the effect won't stack so it would be useless and you can prefer to the Millelith set and get more atk on your team.
Little long extra:
Why someone like Bennett would be ever used in a team with Diona? Well mostly to create melt reactions easily if you don't have Ganyu so if you add another Pyro character and a hydro support in your team, you can deal a lot of vaporize/melt dmg.
Example: Yanfei, Bennett, Xingqiu, Diona
I'm absolutely sorry for the long comment and it might be useless in the most parts but I wanted to share my opinion so, well XD Have a great day you all!
I was just wondering which artifact set would be better for her. I've been playing with the maiden's set for a while, and just today I used noblesse!
I’m gonna be doing 2 millileth 2 noblesse or 2 millileth 2 maiden
I use 2 piece Noblesse and 2 piece Maiden's with a healing bonus headpiece! Most of the other artifacts have hp stats. I use her as my shielder, and healer(very useful for co-op domains)
And I do a 2 piece Noblesse for supercoduct/melt.
Hey Zy0x, can you make a guide on the new floor 11/12 without venti? Venti really seems to help but I don't have him because I was saving for zhongli
At the very end: "Now let's talk about DPS Diona" XD
I'm not too good at elemental rotation and my dps is meh so I'm very dependant to her and Zhongli's shield. Pretty lucky on pulling her and finally unlocked her to C6. I was able to clear floor 12 before abyss reset.
Im using her with my Ayaka as my team support and particle generator so favonius bow is my go-to
You're amazing man. I watched your Yanfei guides and helps so much. Another guide for a character I'm raising? Perfect. Subbed
we need a video explaining how you say "link in the description if you're interested" so fast yet so clearly
Damn! You're really pumping these vids out!
I just got Diona and put random good hp artifacts on her, that somehow helped me clear floor 9 with 9 stars and she’s only level 50
I've been waiting for this one...love all of your videos thank youuu
Was bout to use her for my Hu tao thank youu
Diona does great with Hu Tao
@@christopheantoine5472 yeah, especially with the stamina reduction plus shield
Yup, the only downside with Hu tao is, Dionas C6 EM doesn't work with her, being always below 50% hp^^
@@zy-blade tru
Actually, if you have xingqiu on your hu tao team, hu tao with 200 EM can deal more reaction dmg than 50% HP. Plus, you also have access to melt, and xingqiu will prevent the reverse melt
My recommendation is 2pc Millelith set and 2pc maidens beloved set. The +20% HP is perfect to increase her shield strenght and the 2pc Maidens beloved is the other best 2pc option which increases her healing. So more shield and more healing. Thats all we want.
I dont recommend running her energy recharge sand and cryo dmg goblet. Stay away from that its just not worth bcs u wont deal enough dmg anyways.
Use HP%/HP%/HP% with energy recharge sub stat on every artifact. As bow, definitely use sacrificial bow. Otherwise use favonious bow. You will have more than enough energy recharge this way.
- day 1 player btw
Got my first Diona at AR56, and got her maxed before getting Zhongli, then I watched this guide because I needed a 2nd shielder, Noelle is just not enough.
Great guide!
oh dang, that’s why everyone said her shield was so good. i was confused because whenever i tap her skill the shield is so weak that it can barely take one hit. now i realise i have to hold it.
There's a depressing amount of people recommending 2piece bolide for diona...
i didn't have diona be4 this banner.
Whilst trying to pull for 1 constellation for Yanfei, I got 5 for diona, and then today i got my free copy.
I wan't planing on building her,but now that she's c6 i'm more interested lol
We need a character that gets stronger the more HP it recovers through healing. Kinda like HuTao, but not requiring to stay at low hp,
so healing would be most useful while a shield would be harmful, unlike HuTao who benefits from shield while healing decreases her damage.
Then Maiden's set might actually have a use of some sort.
OMG that’d be my kinda of character
here two years later to say that Furina is out and she does exactly that!
Yes she is really helpful in the new abyss. Especially when u fight those abyss herald & lector. Cryo really helps u reduce their annoying shield.
imo the 2p millelit is so really good for a shield diona (20%hp buff heals too)
As a user of Diona since her launch, this guide is really really solid.
tfw i now have c6 diona before i even started the event cause the gacha gods refused to bless me with a single zhongli and yanfei
I wanted Noelle , or any shield character but instead I got yanfei c2 😭
I had the opposite problem where I pulled C3 Noelle and Yanfei, C0 Zhongli and only got Diona from the free event 😓
Why don't you wish on the standard banner I got both of my diona and yanfei from it.
I love your guide videos, definitely simple to understand and now im gonna subs
when i was summoning for zhongli, i went from not having doina, to having her at c4 haha
Just summoned on Ayaka. Went from having no Chongyun to c6. Feels bad
The 1/1/1 low investment Maiden Diona I got in the back slot for Ganyu will finally see some improvement after this guide. She ran okay aside Zhongli, but now with some constellations she will support a team of her own. Thanks for your guide, helped a lot!
just what i needed!
glad i could help
@@Zy0x your guides are really cool, thx a lot
Elegy for the end is amazing with diona cause u need to hit the e 4 times to proc the passive, so the paws just proc the passive just by holding the e
Imagine if you used Sucrose, Bennett, and Diona (all C6) with Zhongli as your DPS :O
Lamao ur content is so clean.u earned a sub.
Definitely needed this as i wanna pair Razor with another Cryo instead of Kaeya as to just reap the sprinting passives from both in two different teams because they don't stack together
I used her in co-op with a xiao, ayato and a hutao, and everything was great until they started the domain without me .(i have bad wifi and it takes a while to load) they all died as i kept telling them to come heal in the corner xD she's such a broken support fr will never regret building her
is 2pc maiden and 2pc millelith okay? i just use her for abyss team 1 for her shield and heal
I've been waiting for this man, I have no shielder on my 2nd abyss team (Zhongli on the first team) I'm still trying to build my Diona. Finally I know the best build for her 💯
coming back to this after getting c6 diona trying to get c1 hu tao
Same
@@illuminati3561 man, hopefully we can pull her before the end of her banner run 😭🙌🏼
I'll post my results after her banner ends 😭
@@illuminati3561 bet. good luck!
@@illuminati3561 i didn’t get c1 😭
My favorite build on her is 2pc Scholar (exile works too), 2pc Maiden with an energy recharge Sands. Run the scholar pieces on the flower and feather. I get a beastly shield, and I can ult frequently and easily due to the energy recharge.
Can you show your own stats at the end of these guides so that we can sort of compare our stats to see if they're good enough?
Got Diana about a week ago and I'm running the same bow works really well thanks for the breakdown 😁 I'm still super new I put some work into her and happy it was a go choice
I got her to c6, my melt Ganyu will now become more powerful.
You're underrated sadge :( Love your videos, this guide is just what i needed :)
they called me crazy for taking Diona to the fight against Andrius... but little did they know.....
250% Cryo Absorption makes Andrius look like a puppy ♡
Little did they know you have C4!
@@Soundwave1900 c4 is bad :(
Some mf's with physical diona be like
I really love your guides, the best there is
Hey Zy0x. So, I started using Harbinger of Dawn (3 star sword) for Albedo, and I have seen other videos showing that if you stack enough Def (which is not that hard) and completely ignore his burst, his transient blossoms can deals 20k-25k per hit. I guess it's worth testing out, don't you think?
Also a good note for anyone who knows how to do it, if you can dragonstrike, diona can make it easier to pull off, I run diona with Noelle for beyblade maid dragonstrike.
True, but I have C12 Diona already and am still Yanfei-less
I have 5 total Yanfeis in 4 accs that I touched, and I am the one that got it lmao
@@roweeszx you want a cookie?
I decided to build my diona cuz she fits my aesthetic perfectly like she's so adorable !!!! She's basically carried my party with her shield it's great
Something went wrong with you’re editing, the video cut out before the last section
I feel like the new character for inazuma, raiden shogun, has given a much needed buff to most characters. I almost never touched my yanfei or my diona, and then when i got Ei, her E made literally anyone viable.
She is a god in spiral abyss floor 11 period
Just in time a diona guide for my c1 diona
C6 Diona is honestly as strong as bennet, 1. Zhongli 2. Bennnet 3. Diona these are the best supports in the game
U forgot someone really important....i guess🤭😉
Spent all glitters for rolling then when it reset bennet cons up smh
@@p4p3r77 didn’t. :) just to remind you I said SUPPORT. Not support dps like Venti/ xingqu
@@knucklesskinner253 so ur saying zhongli is only support😏
Anyway forget it...dont wanna start and argument..i was just joking
I have elegy and I can say it's pretty good on her and easy to proc on her ult. My comp is hutao(homa)/kaeya(sacrifice)/sucrose(widsith)/diona(elegy). yeah wish I had xingqiu and my comp would be perfect
ps: I have dionas c1 and its even easier to have the bow passive all the time making sure that hutao will burst so much more
POV: you’re pairing her with ayaka ;-;
