►Suggested Teammates

  • Kaeya

    Barbara-Kaeya is a staple on F2P teams. The long and constant hydro application that barbara offers is a great boon for Cryo comps, her stamina reduction combined with Kaeya's allow for the longest distance running in the game which translates to great mobility in combat, and overworld exploration!. Kaeya is an extremely safe character and will become night unkillable with a dedicated healer support, all in all this is agreat comp for any player to try out.

  • Diluc

    Barbara works great with melee characters that want reactions, Diluc is not an exception. The amazing off field support that barbara offers allows him to outlast and overpower his opponents with hefty vaporize hits.

  • Mona

    The idea is pretty simple, boost your Mona with more Hydro DMG, more charged attacks and a lot more mobility. Barbara holding Thrilling Tales and Noblese Obligue will make your mona incredibly powerful.
    At the same time Mona offers Barabara some very needed Hydro particles and even more healing power thanks to the Hydro resonance.

  • Keqing

    Good old Keqing has a pretty powerful but exhausting(at least for her) playstyle. Barbara will easy some of her burdens and allow charge spam keqing to shine for longer. The electro charged reactions will be bonus as well as the improved longevity.

  • Qiqi

    For the same reasons that Kaeya is a great partner to barbara Qiqi is, in this comp you just can't die. as long as you have one finger pressing your skill button every few seconds this party is immortal(at least Qiqi is).

  • Razor

    Good boy Razor, one of the only selfish carries that doesn't benefit from being low health.
    Barbara offers long lasting healing that lasts as long or longer that his elemental burst duration, allowing you to send your enemies to oblivion without worries.

  • Xingqiu

    Xingqiu and Barbara is another immortal team composition, Hydro damage bonus benefits Xinqiu in multiple ways and Xinqiu then pass his own buffs to a main carry, which now on top of having a huge ammount of damage reduction also heals any damage, consumes less stamina and hits extremely hard(thanks to Xingqiu's burst).

►Summary

"Barbara only allows herself to be depressed only for 30 seconds"

Pros:

  • Good early healer and Hydro applicator.
  • Easy to come by constellations.
  • Her burst can be enough to heal your whole party and she gains energy by doing nothing.
  • Easy, cheap, and effective build.

Cons:

  • Low damage output.
  • Bad energy generation.
  • Self Hydro application can make her a liability against Cryo enemies.

Building tips:

  • Barbara's healing scales with HP allowing her to be your team's tank while also fulfilling her job effectively any HP% artifacts will do, and don't worry too much about which set or substats.
  • Being a catalyst user she has a lot of utility options for weapons that give benefits to your other party members, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is the most obvious option, but Prototype Amber( with another Hydro in your team ) and Hakushin Ring are viable options.
  • Favonious Codex can be also a very good option if you have it at high refinements and it'll give you a chance to use your elemental skill passive healing without wasting too much of your team's potential.

Gameplay tips:

  • You can use Let the Show Begin initial's casting to quickly apply hydro in AoE allowing you to make short work of Pyro Shields. In this same vein, your skill will keep applying Hydro every 1.5 seconds (without taking into account ICD) which you can use to deplete elemental shields even faster.
  • Barbara's fast attack string, high durability, and stamina consumption reduction make her a great option to be the driver character on Electro-Charged comps.

Constellations power:

  1. Every bit of energy helps Barbara given her 0 energy generation on her skill so this is an ok constellation.
  2. This allows Barbara to have your team buffed almost 100% of the time, healing dispelling status, and even adding Hydro DMG for a team member.
  3. Not too important to have high levels on her Burst given how little you can use it.
  4. This can be good but using your stamina on barbara to gain some energy back doesn't seem like such an alluring proposition.
  5. This has more usability than her burst, but still, Barbara's skills don't need a lot of levels to function.
  6. This could save you one run or two but given how easy it is to restart a chamber or a challenge in this game, you won't notice the impact of this constellation most of the time, it is great for exploration though.
