Talent Priority
For Diona, Icy Paws is the kit's main payoff — level this first toward 10.
Diona follow-up talent: Signature Mix supports the main damage/support loop.
Diona's Ktzlein Style can sit low; it barely moves clear times versus their other talents.
Substat Priority
Diona is mainly used as an off-field support, which means she will generally be brought on-field to apply shields using Icy Paws. You will want to hold the skill down to activate the shield in order to get the additional 75% damage absorption bonus. Holding the skill will create a much better shield

The shield has a 250% Cryo DMG Absorption Bonus, and will cause your active character to become affected by Cryo at the point of formation for a short duration. When she first started bartending, Diona found that no matter how much ice she put in her cocktails, it would never do a drunkard any harm. That all changed when she received her Vision — now she can form ice cold enough to cause severe brainfreeze. Five out of five stars!

Alternatives to Diona
Not sure Diona is right for you? Compare against other characters to find your best pull.
Where Layla goes hard is Nights of Formal Focus: it applies Shield and gains Night Stars periodically or when an Elemental Skill is used on another. Competes with Diona for the same seat; the better fit is the kit your roster already feeds.

Citlali answers with Dawnfrost Darkstar (provides Pyro RES Shred when Melt reactions are triggered and Hydro RES Shred when Freeze). That's a Support answer, while Diona is built as a Shield Support.
Mika answers with Starfrost Swirl (granting all nearby characters in your party Soulwind). That's a Support answer, while Diona is built as a Shield Support.
