Healer and Support Build

Weapons

There’s 2 main choice when it comes to regular healer build for Barbara. First is Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayer from gacha, second is Prototype Amber from forging. Both have HP% substats which is good since Barbara healing scales off her HP.

Go for Thrilling if you want 48% ATK increase buff (after switching from Barbara) for 10s and go for Prototype Amber for more healing.
