Barbara Best Builds
Barbara DPS Build
Yes, you can build barbara as DPS. No one will stop you if you want her to slap the enemy even harder.
Take a note, it’s even better if you have C2 Barbara. Her C2 will decrease her elemental skill cooldown by 15% (from 32s to 27s) and give 15% Hydro DMG Bonus for active character within skill duration. Also, as DPS your main source of damage would be Charged Attack.

Healer and Support Build
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.
![]() 4 Ocean Hued Clam | (2) Healing Bonus +15%. (4) Healing effect generates a Healing Bubble up to once per 3.5s. Healing Buble will accumulate Stacked Healing as characters get healed. Healing Bubble bursts after 3s, healing nearby characters (50% of Stacked Healing) and damaging nearby enemies (90% of Stacked Healing). |
![]() 4 Maiden Beloved | (2) Character Healing Effectiveness +15%. (4) Using an Elemental Skill or Burst increases healing received by all party members by 20% for 10s. |
![]() ![]() 2 Maiden Beloved + 2 Millelith | (2) Character Healing Effectiveness +15%. (2) HP Increased by 20%. |
