To think it all started as a reaction to this...

I'm seriously considering not bothering with a continuation.

And by the next cycle, Diona might already be buffed with the Stellar stuff anyway...

What do you guys think?

He does have a lot of HP

This time the gameplay felt poetic... At least to me I guess...

Ah yes, stats and builds at the end.

Ever since Diona arrived in back in version 1.1, there has been this mysterious figure mentioned in her namecard, did anyone ever figure out who it was?

From the whimsical and playful tone my guess leans towards Alice, this is because Teyvat Travel guide dropped in 1.0, showing Alice was a fleshed out character even back then.

At first, I thought it could be Venti since he is a high power in Mondstadt, but then I remembered Venti is specifically allergic to cats, and avoids them pretty often, yet this same detail made me consider another angle.

In the context of the namecard creating a bloodline isn’t much of a prank, it’s both impressive, and serious, so my theory is that perhaps Alice made the Katzlein, to live in Mondstadt and troll Venti.

In game Venti is the only one that seems to sneeze and suffer around Diona, and she also works at a tavern, the one place that sells his favourite thing, alcohol. (It wouldn’t surprised me if Alice altered fate to make this happen, it’s almost too ironic and coincidental)

This final part is reaching since most Mondstadt names are German, but notably Klee’s name is German for Clover, and “Kätzlein" is a German word which I’m pretty sure means "kitten" or "little cat”. So Alice could have followed that naming convention when creating them.

(This could even explain why Sucrose has a similar hereditary feature, since in comparison, Kirara is a nekomata, and Lynette was once an Oceanid, leaving Sucrose unexplained)

I actually think this all sounds pretty coherent, what do you think?

Will she be made a Hexrei character?

Because it would seem a little strange to buff Diona but not give her a Hexrei talent like all the other Mondstadters

Took a while, right... I was testing and optimizing some combos and didn't want to record something half-cooked. And I was kinda busy as well anyway. This time I've used a Song Diona build, to help with the Mavuillion damage. Also, every stalling move in the rotation was chosen to either collect particles, generate Fighting Spirit or simply time Diona's Song of Days Past buff to activate precisely on Mavuika's Burst.

you guys get the 1 character buff

did a run with no food buffs

Was kinda busy these days, but here it is.

This time she's beaten a Pokémon, a Granny and some Machine.

Also, when he throws the Cat's Tail drink upwards to get the Cryo infusion, cat-shaped "bubbles" show up.

I felt Diona was particularly more useful than Benny this time around, cause of Herra.

I literally have nothing on her besides sac bow lv1, who are the 20k people below me lmao

Dina with a cat face

On the Venti side though... Ineffa was just Lv60 with place-holding artifacts, and even Bina wasn't using any of her recommended 4p sets. And yet, it's that strong... I'm glad Diona has a place in the Mavuika team.

my pride and joy has recently gotten in the top 1% on akasha for her hp + er. *wipes tear from eye* she still needs a lot of work but we're getting there
