[Overview]

Barbara, the “idol” in the magazine, a hydro healer, a sweet helper, and a good chief in Mondstadt.

Barbara uses the Catalyst as her weapon. Her songs are the healing magic.

Even though she is a four stars “idol”, she gains lots of claps from others.

Melody Loop

  1. Cure the team once Barbara’s normal attacks hit. The healing amount is depended on Barbara’s maximum health.
  2. Charged Attack generates 4 times of the whole healing.
  3. Every 5s, restores the HP of the current character.
  4. Put a Hydro state to the character and the enemies nearby.

Shining Miracle

 

Restore a large amount of HP for the team. The amount is relied on Barbara's maximum HP.

 [Weapon Choice]

Since Barbara is only a healer and a Hydro support, it is not necessary to use a 5 stars’ weapon on her.

3 stars’ Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is good enough.

If you have extra gold and items, the 4 stars Prototype Amber from crafting is a good choice.

 [Team Build]

Barbara is a strong Support in the team. She can:

  • provide healing.
  • give Elemental Reactions.
  • Increase ATK (only when using the weapon Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers”).

Basic: *(If you are totally f2p, and no extra good characters for Barbara at the moment)



 


Barbara

Xiangling

Kaeya

Fischl

This party can Freeze, Eletro-Charge, Vaporize, Overload, and Superconduct.

Barbara

Anemo Traveler

Fischl

Xiangling

The anemo Traveler can provide the swirl.

Better Choice: *(if you play for a long time and get more characters)

Barbara

Razor 

Bennett

Kaeya

Bennett and Razor are not the free characters, once you get them and have higher Constellations, I prefer to use them to replace the Basic one.

Barbara

Xinyan / Beidou

Fischl

Kaeya

Xinyan, Beidou can give the shield.

Tips: Noelle, Diona can give the shield and Healing.

  • But since Barbara is already the Healer, I suggest equipping the Damage or Energy Recharging Artifacts on the other healers.

Best Choice: (combine with the 5 stars characters)

Healer

Main DPS

Support 1

Support 2

Barbara

Diluc/ Xiao/ Ganyu

Albedo / Venti

Zhongli

Diluc, Xiao, and Ganyu are the high damage dealers and the elemental reactions are Frooze, swirl, or vaporize.

Zhongli's shield can protect the DPS.

Albedo/ Venti can collect enemies or release dmg AoEs while attacking.

Tips: 

  • Barbara and Qiqi are good healers, but the more continuous Healing they do, the less damage Hutao will do. I don’t recommend putting them together.
  • She gets you frozen when you have to deal with Cyro attacks is literally the biggest reason why she is benched if you have any other options for heals.

However, there are more options for buildings.

 

Please leave the comments below. I am looking forwards answer them.
