Barbara Genshin Impact leads and constructs

Every Mondstadt resident adores Barbara, the self-proclaimed idol of Genshin Impact. She's a four-star hydro character who offers some nice heals and is best suited for a support position. You acquire her for free fairly early on. To help you take full advantage of this endearing little optimist, our Genshin Barbara build includes all of her talents, constellations, greatest weapons and artifacts, and more.

To find out where your recently acquired character ranks, visit our Genshin Impact tier list and read our Genshin Impact codes guide. For more powerful characters, such as Genshin Impact's Arlecchino, Genshin Impact's Wanderer, and Genshin Impact's Gaming, we also have comprehensive guides available.

This is our comprehensive guide to Genshin Impact Barbara:

Which Genshin Impact Barbara build is the best?

Best weapon Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers
Weapon substitutes Prototype Amber
Best artifact set Maiden Beloved
Main stats Sands – HP
Goblet – HP
Circlet – Healing bonus
Sub stats HP, energy recharge
Since Barbara can instantly resurrect characters at constellation level six and provide some rather substantial heals, she is ideally suited for a supporting role. To maximize the 30% healing boost from hydro elemental resonance, we advise teaming her with another hydro character, such Genshin Impact's Mona.On the other hand, once Sumeru and the dendro element arrived, players have discovered that Barbara works quite well when paired with Genshin Impact's Collei. and the dendro Genshin Impact Traveler or Genshin Impact's Tighnari. This is because of how the game handles the dendro seed pods produced by the bloom reaction, as well as how her elemental skill's ring handles entities.

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%.

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

This effect triggers even when Barbara is not on the field
