Genshin Impact 2.4: Barbara Best Builds, Weapons, Artifacts, and Teams

Barbara, the Deaconess of the Church of Favonius and Mondstadt's top idol, is one of the most ignored characters players can add to their squad in Genshin Impact. With that stated, Barabra may be an excellent complement to many teams because of her skill set, talents, and availability. Here are the finest ways to grow Barabara in Genshin Impact to help you unleash the full power of Mondstadt's top idol.

Barbara is also the only 4-star character in the game with her own close-up Elemental Burst animation, at least on the surface.

Barbara’s Role in a Composition

Given that Barbara is first and primarily a healer, it is suggested that you construct her as such, given her ability to both heal and enable. With that stated, if you want to develop Barbara as an Elemental DPS, you can do so, but it will not only cost a lot more money, but it will also necessitate a very specific team composition focused on not only enabling Vaporize but also improving her total damage.

Best Artifacts for Barbara

We advocate using a 4-set Ocean-Hued Clam for a healer/enabler build, as it allows her to heal quickly while simultaneously allowing you to inflict damage thanks to its 4-piece effect. Because of the healing boost, using a 4-piece Maiden Beloved is also recommended. If you want to develop her as an Elemental DPS, we recommend choosing Heart of Depth, the game's greatest full set for Hydro DPS, because it enhances your elemental damage as well as your normal and charged attack damage by 30% after using your Elemental Skill.

If you're planning on using her as a main healer, look for artifacts with both HP percent and Healing Bonus as major stats, as well as pieces with Energy Recharge and HP as substations. Those who want to build her as a DPS should focus on Hydro DMG Bonus, ATK, and CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG.

Barbara Best Weapons

Surprisingly, the 3-star Catalyst Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is the best weapon available in the game for those wishing to construct Barbara as a healer, since it provides not only a significant portion of HP but also a 20 percent to 48 percent ATK boost to your DPS. For those wishing to develop her as a DPS, we recommend using the 5-star Catalyst Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, which is perhaps the strongest in the game because of its ability to improve not just the character's CRIT Rate and Movement Speed but also the wielder's Elemental Damage by up to 32 percent. The 4-star Catalyst The Widsith is our top pick in the 4-star category.

Barbara Best Teams

Barbara is an excellent team player that can work with both Electro and Pyro characters. She can also team up with Cryo DPS like Ayaka, who can deal with constant Cryo Damage and is primarily focused on dealing close-range damage. Bennett and an Anemo character with a full Viridescent Venerer set, such as Kazuha, Jean, or Sucrose, are essential if you want to create her as a DPS since they will both improve her overall damage after a successful rotation.
