Barbara Build – DPS Focused Charged Attack 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.
