How to Create Strong Builds for Barbara in Genshin Impact 6.0

Share your love

Barbara is a Support healer through and through, and can even revive her teammates through certain Constellations. As a Catalyst user, she can also apply some decent Hydro effects onto enemies. Still, besides being a relative safety net for lost teammates, she doesn’t seem like much as a 5-star character. However, with the right builds, she can make for a decently strong Support for most teams, especially if pulled on the recent Genshin Impact Version 6.0 banners.

💪 Barbara’s Strengths & Weaknesses

Barbara is meant to be the sole healer or Support of her teams. She has the special ability to revive fallen teammates with her Constellation 6. Otherwise, her Elemental Skill allows her to burst heal or slowly heal others over time. Her Hydro application, though, is very consistent and can prove helpful to Hydro applying teams as an on-field Driver. Genshin Impact’s Version 6.0 brings a whole new land and characters, leaving some players wanting a top-up to get ahead. Check www.u7buy.com today to learn more!

While Barbara seems all well and good as a healer, she falls flat when she steps outside of this role. Even when healing, Barbara has much longer cooldowns when she’s off-field, which requires players to have her on-field a lot longer than they’d probably want. She also tends to trigger the Wet status effect on herself and teammates, which can be bad against some enemies, so watch out!

🔮 The Best Catalyst Weapons for Barbara in Genshin Version 6.0

Since the majority of players will prefer Barbara as a healer and have her Constellation revive ability unlocked, you’ll want to keep her alive as long as possible. Therefore, it’s best to match Barbara with Catalyst weapons that increase her maximum health, and maybe her Attack capabilities for self-defense. Some weapons, like the Prototype Amber, can even recharge some Energy for teammates, which can be extra helpful.

💎 The Best Artifacts for Barbara in Genshin Version 6.0

Moving on to Barbara’s best Artifact sets, hers will revolve around increasing her healing capabilities and power. Sets like the Ocean-Hued Clam and Maiden Beloved are the best at increasing her Healing Effectiveness and bonuses. The clam artifact is especially great for healing, as it deals damage bonuses against enemies accumulated per heal, which can be both useful and very fun to have.

👥 The Best Teams for Barbara in Genshin Version 6.0

As a healer, Barbara is suitable for most teams that require one, especially with the strongest builds that boost her abilities. While she does apply some Hydro, it’s very little compared to actual Hydro DPS, or even other elements like Dendro. This can be beneficial, as she’ll interfere less with other Elemental teams. Therefore, Barbara is relatively versatile, leaving plenty of wiggle room for players.
