Abilities
The main purpose of all of Barbara's abilities is healing. The healing rate itself directly depends on her health, and the mechanics of the skill are simple and straightforward. All this, combined with the ability to get this character in the early stages of the game, makes Barbara one of the best heals for beginners, which in Tier list of characters occupies the highest position.
Basic skills (active skills)
- Whisper of water (normal/charged attack)
Inflicts up to 4 hits with the Hydro element with a normal attack.
Charged attack deals AoE damage to Hydro. Consumes stamina.
When falling, deals Hydro damage to all enemies in the path and in a small radius upon landing.
Use only under elemental skill when you need to heal more than one character at once.
- Let the Show Begin (Elemental Skill)
Creates a ring of musical notes that deal Hydro damage to nearby enemies and have the following properties:
- Barbara's normal attacks restore a certain amount of HP to all party and nearby allies, which depends on max. HP Barbara;
- Charged attack restores 4 times more HP;
- Regularly restores a certain amount of HP to the active character;
- Inflicts Hydro status on allies and enemies when touched.
Great skill for healing. But in connection with the imposition of the status of Hydro on oneself, if the enemies have Cryo or Electro damage, it should be used very carefully.
- Miraculous Radiance (Elemental Burst)
Restores all party a certain amount of HP, which depends on the max. HP Barbara.
Simple, clear and powerful skill. Heals instantly, a lot and all at once. On c6 also resurrects a party character.

Advantages and disadvantages
Consider the positive and negative sides of the character.
pros:
- the character can be obtained for free, upon reaching the 20th rank;
- gives a lot of healing;
- not demanding on stats;
- can use Dragon Slayer Epic;
- able to resurrect characters on c6.
Cons:
- the available ways to generate energy for themselves are very weak;
- imposing hydro status on oneself can go sideways to the player in some situations;
- while we heal with attacks under the skill, we lose dps.
What players at high ranks dislike about Barbara is the imposition of a Hydro status on themselves, which allows the enemies to freeze us or impose a status charge. But even without using the skill, with careful play, the treatment from the explosion of the elements is enough.

Best Artifacts
| number | Name | Set | Rarity | ive Effects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mollusk of sea colors | 
|
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Healing bonus +15%. 4 parts: When healing allies, the owner of the kit creates a Bubble of Nautical Ink that records the healing statistics (even when the accumulation of health points is excessive when the target has maximum HP). When it expires, the Bubble explodes, dealing 90% damage (including potential) of HP restored to enemies. The Bubble appears no more than once every 3,5 seconds, and its damage is calculated according to the effects of Charged and Superconductor, but cannot be enhanced by elemental mastery, a level bonus, or other reactions. Artifacts allow you to heal much more effectively and in addition to do damage. |
| 2 | Maiden Beloved | 
|
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Increases character's healing by 15%. 4 parts: Increases the healing received by all party by 20% for 10 seconds. after using an elemental skill or an elemental explosion. A very strong set for Barbara. |
| 3 | Paradise lost flower | 
|
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80. 4 parts: Increases the damage dealt by Budding, Vegetation, and Bloom by 40% on the character equipped with this set. If the carrier causes these reactions on its own, the effect will increase by another 25%. Each summation lasts 10 seconds. The effect stacks up to 4 times, occurs once every 1 seconds, and activates even if the character is not active. A great set for the Dendro squad through Budding, where Barbara closes the reaction. |
| 4 | Scientist | 
|
⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 20%. 4 parts: Gaining Elemental Orbs or Motes restores 3. energy to squad equipped with ranged weapons or a catalyst. Can occur every 3 seconds. Barbara is not very picky about stats, so if you are severely lacking in energy, it is better to use this set than to change weapons to the favonia codex. |
Squad Composition

On c4, it almost always has electro damage, which, combined with Barbara's ring of notes, allows you to constantly maintain charge status on enemies. |
Keqing |

Sword |
In an electric build, it maintains a charge most of the time. |
Diluc |
Pyro |

How to play Barbara
When playing with Barbara, the main thing to is that her ring inflicts hydro status on you. This can be quite dangerous in situations where enemies have cryo or electro damage. In other cases, the ring of notes is a very useful skill. It gives us access to the steam, freeze and charge reactions, and also gives us a very significant heal. Also, with the help of this skill, you can heal the entire group if Barbara attacks enemies during its action.
Elemental Explosion is a very strong healing skill. It instantly heals your entire group at once, which is very useful when the characters have too little health left and they can die instantly.
Сonclusion
At higher Mastery ranks, players rarely use Barbara. But, basically, this is due to the unpleasant imposition of hydro status on oneself. In general, Barbara is a very strong healer, who has all the skills aimed at restoring health.
keep for updates best squad builds.
Please tell me, would it be better to install Yantar R4 or Epos R5?
Hello. It depends on what your squad needs more. If there is enough health recovery in battles, take Epos (not all heroes need an attack power buff). If there are problems with it, then Yantar, which will also fill up some energy.
Is it possible to build Barbara as a second Bennett? That is, for healing and bonuses from the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers?
It's strange that no one writes that with the appearance of Chaska, Barbara has sparkled with new colors. You can not hit with E at all (and not get wet, respectively) - but have a water "bullet" for steam and other things and a convenient heal through the ult.
Good day, the team is Keya, Barbara, Razor and Diluc? Please correct, knowledgeable players
New HP weapons "Ash Horn" and "Yashche Ring" have appeared. It would be nice to update the guide.
I this, I want to review guides for old characters in the new reality!
But for me it’s different… Pph
I put her in a squad with Keqing, Djinn, Kazuha. With her circle she causes a reaction of Charged, and against cryo mages/electro I jump on Kazuha and throw her on Djinn. If there is no Kazuha, (or rather, before him) in the squad there is Bennett, Xingqiu or Fischl. And yes, logically Djinn heals, but I have both anemo characters in emerald shadow.
The squad is very convenient, I close the 11th abyss, now I'm going to the 12th. Very easy and simple. Kazuha - tightening, Djinn - damage/throw-up, Keqing - damager, Barbara - reactions and heal.
or maybe the squad is bad….
and what weapon should I take to Barbara in Buds?
and how exactly does she explode the buds?
theater is coming soon and these questions for newbies may be popular
Comrades, I've scoured the entire Internet. Tell me, please, is the reloading of 6 consta not interrupted if you just stand in the abyss in front of the key? The units are still weak, the 11th abyss lends itself, but the 12th floor is not at all possible, even the 1st hall. I want to put it under Nevilet
Honestly, I don’t know, but I heard that the cooldown of her const is reset when you restart (just like the cooldown of skills). not sure if it's fixed or not now
What nonsense? Nevilet lvl 80-90 with amber and any kind of HP art can take out the 12th floor of the abyss on its own) I about a month ago, on the 2nd game, when my squad was all lvl 80 and not very well assembled in of art, there were sets of "anyhow, the main set" - the whole pack consistently died on the 11th-12th floors, and Nevilet in salty with a creak killed the whole floor, the main thing was to finish in time.
It is worth adding the Song of Bygone Times to the artifacts. In my opinion, it will be even more effective than clam
What if we made her a variation of Kokomi Driver in a wash squad with Yelan, Furina and some anemo? I just have Nevilet's signal r2 lying around idle
Hello! Barbara is still a very weak replacement for Kokomi. If the hill can still be somehow accelerated to decent values (with a 15 second window of speed, even this will be a problem), then the character is seriously inferior in attack speed and will not show himself to be a good driver.
Kind of a weak guide to be honest
And which set is better for budding under cookies? then I didn't understand
Hello! In the same Budding squad with Barbara and Cookie, it is Cookie who will blow up the nuclei, so Barbara can be dressed in any set. You can use chunks to increase healing or health to get more healing, or use a set Mollusk of bright colors for extra damage.
Thank you
I changed the artifacts for a mollusk, I didn’t try it in the case, her attack increased quite well. But this bubble infuriates, although they came up with a cool idea. I'm used to Itto having a mask behind his back, and with the ult it gets dark. Now there's a bubble. And I thought what else was missing. Exactly, Sorush, who periodically glows red.
Ayaka, gan yu, Kazakh, Barbara norms detachment?
For Ayaka, the ideal would be Xingqiu or Ye Lan, but it seems to me that it will do
What stats for a set of mollusks are suitable for Barbara's healer?
Nahida fischl bennet barbara normal squad?
Hi!! A set of clams will do, about the squad. Depends on who you have there main dd
Hello. It feels like I don’t have a lot of good healers (namely healers, not heal + buff)
I want to make a team: Ningguang, Goro(С3), Albedo
need . only 2 shields - layla (busy), dione (dislike), only heal remains. please tell me who to choose:
Dione
Bennett
Dory
Sayu
Barbara
Xingqiu (suddenly enough)
Bennet, will be the top option, there are no options. Although the very basis of your team is strange. Ningguang and Albedo are fine. But here is Goro... Since he has almost no effect on Ningguang... does it turn out to be a to strengthen the ? After all, he will only strengthen Albedo in the group. Trust me, it's not worth it. Xingqiu in his place will give much more to the group. So a much stronger group will be Ningguang, Albedo, Xingqiu, Bennett.
Noelle would be a great fit for this team
I have one Ayak who controls everyone through Barbara's ring?)))
No)
Good day! As a hill, who is in the squad Tartaglia, Raiden, Laila / Sucrose (sometimes I replace one with the other) and the hill will be better: Sayu or Barbara?
On the one hand, Sayu’s heal comes from the attack, so she gives out good additional damage, on the other hand, Barbara heals, as they say, cheaply, reliably and practically ... And she doesn’t really need to be pumped, give arts for HP and not really dungeon )))
I have some doubts, so I ask for advice 😉
Hello! It is better to choose Barbara, she will be able to strengthen the attack team (dragonslayer epic + millelite set), while not taking up space on the field. And Sayu is required to play for her through E-shka, and she needs allies who can impose a status without being active. Tartaglia does not know how, Sayu does not combine with him in the best way.
Thank you, + there will be a hydro resonance (it's +hill) and it seems like Barbara gives a hydro damage bonus, but I didn’t understand something how ... Either I missed it in the skill descriptions, or I’m just mistaken😅 Otherwise Tartaglia would be useful)
Thanks again, I love your guides 🙂
Is such a squad good - Barbara, Xingqiu, Laila, Fischl - against a pyro cube?
And who is the main DD in the pack?
Hello, please tell me which set of arts to dress Barbara in a squad with Nilu and two dendro Persians? A dense forest near Kolya, Tignari's dreams, while it's melilit at the Nilu, but I'm planning a lost paradise (I want to assemble a dancer into a skill, into Tiger crits). But I can’t imagine how to collect an idol girl. Tell me the set for it and the nuances of the assembly. Thank you in advance.
Can my squad approach Barbara:
Rosaria, Lisa, Amber, Barbara
You can, but I would replace Amber. At least on the same track.
I wonder why they don’t write about the Mollusk of Sea Colors anywhere. Ideal for Barbara - not only healing, but also damage, moreover, in huge quantities. After ult 20+k damage, typically 2-8k every few seconds, especially if you hit enemies multiple times with a charged attack. Without DPS, with the Beloved Young Virgin set, it was generally sad.
I play with a squad: shield and main damage-Noelle, add. damage - Lisa, Extra, damage-Xiangling, hill-Barbara, will it work?
If you are a beginner, a very good squad to start with. Otherwise, it is advisable to change Lisa to Goro or Ningguang in order to ensure the strength of the shield and significantly increase the damage of the squad. You can also remove Lisa again and put Bennet in, there will be even more healing and attack power if you stand in the field from his Elemental Explosion.
I actually have a barbara dd.
Gave her a bagel, a set of clams. Howling at 30-60k
Yes, you are brave, the harvest has not fallen, or what?)
and the harvest is here
Lately I've been running with a team of dilyuk, bay dow, sucrose, barbara, I want to know the opinion on the team's score
imba
Can the detachment Barbara, QiQi, Xiao, Raiden come up
If Barbara is dd, then Xiao is superfluous here. It is better to replace it with the same Sucrose. Qiqi can be left to freeze, Barbara does a pretty good job of healing herself. There is an option to replace it with Keia or a second Hydro, Electro for the reaction Charged with Raiden.
If dd Xiao, look at the situation: he is demanding on healing, since the ult takes a lot of HP, so you can leave such a squad as well. Or add Genie/Saya - both heal and battery.
Give a recommendation) The Mollusk of sea colors came out, how does it look on Barbara?
It looks quite normal, but you need to catch Bonus Healing in the helmet. The guide says the following about E-shku:
And this means that by boosting her HP, receiving a Healing Bonus in a helmet and dealing damage with her at the moment of healing (with charged attacks) - gaining 30 thousand HP points for a powerful explosion of the Bubble (appears as a set effect) will not be a problem.
Goes for meta 🙂
this has always been a concern. why in a helmet? if it can fall into the cup, chtol won’t go?
Healing bonus does not drop in cup
It might be worth adding the now popular dd-build. Let even for a fan, although it is not bad in general.
We are not talking about fun builds, but about the best ones. Barbara is a pure and quite controversial at the same time. What is her constant setup in the form of freezing the of the detachment. While this character is free and there are no alternatives to it, all newcomers will use Barbora solely for the purpose of healing, because. it is more difficult to turn it into a DD than to get some worthwhile replacement from the banners.
But the comments are open, so you can always briefly state your vision of an interesting and effective build.
The article is not bad, but it was worth writing in the shortcomings that during the e-ability a hydro effect is applied to the character, which is inconvenient in battles with cryo mobs.
thank you 🙂
We will take into when the article will be updated in accordance with the current version of the game
