Genshin Impact 4★ Cryo Bow Main DPS
Diona’s stats are not too consequential as long as her ER Requirements are met, with further HP only improving her sustain. CRIT Rate should be considered if using Favonius Warbow.
How much Energy Recharge Diona needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | Favonius On Diona | No Favonius | Sac Double Skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple Cryo | 200% | 225% | 175% |
| Double Cryo | 235% | 290% | 255% |
Calcs from the prydwen.gg guide, rephrased
#1
Skill = Burst
Max first
Her talent Levels only scale her sustain, and so the investment level on them is fairly low priority.
Diona tends to use her Hold Skill followed by her Burst to supply the team with sustain, her C6 buffs, and off-field Cryo application. Her Hold Skill can also be used after Burst to battery the next character in the rotation. If she is not C6, her Burst can be skipped entirely unless the healing is needed.

Genshin Impact 4★ Cryo Bow Main DPS
Breezeborne Refrain tops the weapon ranking for Diona, at 108% relative damage at R5 in the DPS - Team column, ahead of Elegy for the End, Favonius Warbow and Sacrificial Bow. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.
Run Noblesse Oblige on Diona, with Tenacity of the Millelith and Heart of the Furnace behind it. Main stats are Energy Recharge > HP% sands, HP% goblet, HP% / CRIT Rate circlet. Roll substats in the order ER > HP% = CRIT Rate.
Talent priority is Skill = Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
Aim for 175% to 290% Energy Recharge, depending on the team and the weapon, per prydwen.gg's calcs.
The strongest team is Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Rosaria and Diona, built around Diona: Cryo · Vaporize.
Diona's abilities multiply HP. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Silvershower Heartstrings is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star bow with HP as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on HP. Sequence of Solitude is the best 4-star alternative.
Blizzard Strayer. Its 2-piece bonus is: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.
