The Ultimate Guide To Genshin Impact’s Barbara: Skills, Builds, And Strategies

Genshin Impact’s Barbara is a self-proclaimed idol who is loved by every citizen in Mondstadt. You get her for free very early on, and she’s a four-star character that provides some decent healing to help you survive your first few quests in Teyvat. Our Genshin Barbara build features all of her skills, constellations, best weapons and artifacts, and more, so you can make the most of this adorable little optimist.

Head on over to our Genshin Impact codes guide and check out our Genshin Impact tier list to see where your newly obtained character ranks. We’ve also got full guides for other strong characters like Genshin Impact’s Arlecchino, Genshin Impact’s Wanderer, and Genshin Impact’s Gaming.

Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Barbara guide:

What’s the best Genshin Impact Barbara build?

Barbara is a four-star that you can get for free, who uses a catalyst weapon and the hydro element.

Best weaponThrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers
Weapon substitutesPrototype Amber
Best artifact setMaiden Beloved
Main statsSands – HP
Goblet – HP
Circlet – Healing bonus
Sub statsHP, energy recharge

Barbara is best suited to a support role as she can dish out some pretty impressive heals and automatically revive characters at constellation level six.

Early in the game, we recommend using her in a team with another hydro character, such as Genshin Impact’s Mona, to take advantage of hydro elemental resonance, which increases healing by 30%. Any buffs you can get will pay dividends in helping you survive those hilichurls.

Alternatively, since the arrival of Sumeru and the dendro element, players have found Barbara to be amazing when combined with Genshin Impact’s Collei and either Genshin Impact’s Tighnari or the dendro Genshin Impact Traveler. This is due to the way her elemental skill’s ring treats entities and the way the game treats the dendro seed pods created by the bloom reaction.

How do I use Barbara?

Barbara doesn’t need to be on field for you to use her – select her, use her elemental skill, and then swap to your DPS to heal them as they go – and apply the wet status to enemies. When Barbara’s burst is ready and your team needs a little TLC, swap to her and activate it for a full team heal.

What are the best Barbara weapons?

Don’t let the three-star rating fool you – the best catalyst for Barbara is the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. We recommend switching Barbara in and out of combat every 20 seconds to take full advantage of the attack bonus. Remember to refine this up to rank five as soon as you can.

Prototype Amber is also a great choice of catalyst as it’s craftable, which makes it very affordable for F2P players. It is energy regeneration and team-wide healing both scale well with refinements. Alternatively, you can pick Everlasting Moonglow. Its passive isn’t very useful for an off-field Barbara, but it works as a stat stick, increasing her HP% and healing bonus.

If you have the Ash-Graven Drinking Horn, you can use this to boost Barbara’s HP and improve her healing, but it also deals a percentage of her healing as damage. If you’re using Barbara early in the game, this can provide a helpful extra hit to help defeat enemies.
