Barbara: How do I utilize her?
You can utilize Barabara even if she isn't on the field; just choose her, perform her elemental ability, then switch to your DPS to heal opponents as they move and apply the wet state. When Barbara's burst is prepared and your squad needs some attention, switch to her and use it to heal the whole team.Which Barbara weapons are the best?
The Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is the catalyst of choice for us. To fully benefit from the attack boost, we advise Barbara to enter and exit fight every 20 seconds if you decide to use this weapon. If at all feasible, we advise you to strive for refinement level five with this weapon.Additionally excellent is Prototype Amber, which is relatively economical for free-to-play gamers due to its craftable nature. With improvements, its energy refund and team heals scale nicely. As an alternative, consider selecting Everlasting Moonglow. For an off-field Barbara, its passive isn't particularly helpful, but it may be used as a stat stick to boost her healing bonus and HP%.Weapon | Effect | How to obtain |
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (three-star) | Bonus effect: HP increase Skill: After switching characters, the new character on the field has an attack increase of 24% for ten seconds. This can only occur once every 20 seconds |

Prototype Amber (four-star) | Bonus effect: HP increase Skill: Elemental bursts regenerate four energy every two seconds for six seconds. All party members also regenerate 4% HP every two seconds for the duration of the effect |

Which artifacts by Barbara are the best?
Finding the whole collection of Maiden Beloved relics is strongly recommended if you want Barbara to be the finest healer she can be. In the meanwhile, if you still don't have the perfect set, Ocean-Hued Clam may assist.A two-piece boost of Tenacity of the Millelith or Vourukasha's Glow helps you stack Barbara's HP for extra healing power if the artifact archons aren't providing you what you desire. Make sure you have a lot of HP main stats for any set you choose, and if you can, a healing bonus circlet.Artifact set | Effect | How to obtain |
Maiden Beloved | Two equipped: Increases healing effectiveness Four equipped: Increases healing received for all party members by 20% for ten seconds when using an elemental skill or burst |

Which Genshin Impact Barbara team comps are the best?
Barbara is a great asset to nearly any squad as a healer. She performs well in vaporize, freeze, bloom, and other elemental comps as well because of her elemental talent of consistently applying the wet state.What skills does Barbara possess?
This is a detailed explanation of Barbara's equipment and the functions of each maneuver.Skills in action:Skill | Effect |
Normal attack: Whisper of Water | Normal: Performs four hydro attacks Charged: Consumes stamina to deal AoE hydro damage Plunging: Deals AoE hydro damage upon impact with the ground |
Elemental skill: Let the Show Begin | Summons a Melody Loop that deals AoE hydro damage and afflicts the wet status. As long as the Melody Loop is active, Barbara’s normal attacks heal the full party at once, including in co-op. Charged attacks will generate four times the amount of healing. The healing scales off Barbara’s maximum HP. While Barbara is not on the field, but her skill is active, characters heal at regular intervals.
