Dione (Chinese: 迪奥娜 Dí'àonà) is a Run 4 character in Genshin Impact. Despite the fact that she works as a bartender at the Cat's Tail, she does not like drunkards and alcohol in all its manifestations. the sobriety fighter sleeps and sees how the entire wine industry of Mondstadt disappears from the face of Teyvat. Easier said than done, because all the inhabitants of Mondstadt love to drink, and especially the cocktails that Diona mixes herself.

10 questions

I will answer everything!

«I charge dearly for hosting banquets… Wait, what? You're not here for a drink?»

According to Dione Draff's father, the bartender is now in a rebellious phase. For unclear reasons - though possibly Draff's implied alcoholism - Diona strives to mix the most disgusting alcoholic drinks possible, but unfortunately for her, her patrons are very fond of her drinks, much to her dismay.

Dione uses a bow as her primary weapon and possesses the Eye of the God Cryo. Can use shields and heal. He deserves to play the role of a reliable support of the group.

Dione's abilities

Although all the character's skills are capable of dealing damage, their main purpose is undoubtedly support. But again, the role of a support does not exclude the possibility of a good hit on the neck of some kind of hilichurl or someone else.

«The main method of treatment for alcohol addiction that Diona practices is the use of the power of the Cryo element.
Her elemental skill fires cat claws at an enemy, dealing Cryo damage to enemies and creating a shield. Long pressing increases the number of claws released and the level of absorption of the shield.
During the explosion of the elements, Dione throws a bottle of strong alcohol, enveloping the area in a wine mist. Inside the area, friendly characters regenerate health, while enemies take periodic cryo damage.»

The best builds (assemblies) of Diona

Dione - four-star hero Genshin impact. On the battlefield, she plays the role of a secondary damage dealer and support. But in order to unleash the potential of this cute character, it must be used correctly:

choose the right weapon;
equip with suitable artifacts;
assemble a team of compatible heroes.

Best weapon

Ceremonial Bow - Since Dione is highly dependent on her spells, this bow is considered one of the best for this character. Because when hit by an elemental skill, it has a 40% chance to restore the cooldown of abilities, allowing them to be used again without delay. True, the effect occurs only once every 30 seconds - you should not count on the constant resetting of the rollback.

Battle Bow of Favonia - if the previous bow accelerated the cooldown of spells, then this one restores energy for their use. Critical attacks have a 60% chance to spawn elemental particles that restore 6 energy each. The effect occurs every 6 seconds, allowing you to quickly replenish energy and constantly "spam" abilities. It is difficult to choose between these two bows, but look at the situation - what do you suffer from more, lack of energy or slow rollback.

Good weapon for Dione

Stringless is a weapon for Dione the damage dealer, who only focuses on offensive spells. This bow increases elemental explosion damage and elemental skills by 24-48% depending on leveling. Having at the same time a high base damage, it will allow the heroine to effectively shoot enemies from a distance, periodically inflicting colossal magic damage on them.

Recurve bow - When there are no other alternatives and there is no sane healer in the team, this bow will save Dione's life. For each enemy killed, he will restore 8% of the heroine's maximum health. Her elemental skills will not be enhanced, and the basic attack of this bow is inferior to the previous options. But if you can't get anything more efficient, use a recurve bow.

Additional Weapon for Dione

If you can't get at least one of the weapons listed above, use any bow as a temporary option, trying to focus on spells. Because Dion cannot be the main damage dealer due to her characteristics, and without a top bow, she only needs to support her allies with elemental abilities.

Best Artifacts for Dione

Noblesse Oblige - two items from the set will increase the damage of the elemental explosion by 20%, and four will increase the attack of all allies by 12% when using the elemental explosion, without stacking the effect (valid for 12 seconds). Thanks to this, Diona will be able to buff and powerfully attack at the same time.

Beloved maiden - Collecting two items will increase the hero's healing by 15%, and with four items, increase the healing of all allies by 20% for 10 seconds after using an elemental burst or any elemental ability. This set is great for support Dione, who will constantly heal while sacrificing attack power.

Exile - two items speed up the recovery of energy by 20%, and four items restore 2 units of energy to all allies with each explosion of the elements (the effect occurs once every 2 seconds and lasts 6 seconds, does not stack). Another set for the support Diona, but this time aimed at increasing the magical activity in the team.

Squad Composition

Since Diona mainly provides support and heals, sometimes acting as a secondary damage dealer, she needs in the team:

Main damage dealer - this role can be played by Razor, Bey Dou, Dilyuk.
Secondary damage dealer (if Dione is a full-fledged support) - Xiang Ling and Fischl will do.
Support (if Dione is a secondary damage dealer) - Xing Qiu, Barbara, Tartaglia.

Having assembled a team of the listed heroes, you will receive a powerful shield and be able to create hurricane elemental reactions.
