Barbara Overview
Barbara is a 4-star Hydro character in Genshin Impact. She uses a catalyst weapon and acts as a support character. Barbara can deal damage to enemies and heal her party members.
Her normal attack, Water Slash, deals Hydro damage. Her charged attack uses some stamina to deal area-of-effect Hydro damage. When she uses her elemental skill, a water barrier forms around her that moves towards the targeted enemy and explodes, dealing damage.
Her Elemental Skill, “Let the Show Begin,” is a key part of her overall ability. When triggered, it creates a melody loop of musical notes and water that deals Hydro damage to nearby enemies. If normal attacks hit while the melody is active, it also helps recover the health of party members.
Additionally, her passive talent, “Glorious Season,” can reduce the duration of her melody loop by up to 12%. Her Burst, “Shining Miracle,” heals all party members on a large scale.
