Genshin Impact Barbara Best Build Guide – Weapons and Artifacts

Here is our Best Build Guide for the shy and innocent Barbara from Genshin Impact. She is the best free healer in the game!

Barbara is a 4-star catalyst user in Genshin Impact. Barbara is a self-proclaimed idol who is adored by all of Mondstadt’s residents. She occasionally feels inferior to her older sister, Jean, and aspires to one day surpass her in popularity, intelligence, or some other aspect of life. Despite this, she adores Jean above all others. You can also check out our Albedo Best Build Guide and Ganyu Best Build Guide.

Barbara’s Elemental Burst, Shining Miracle, is a powerful burst that heals your entire party’s HP enormously. Barbara’s Max HP scales with this talent. This is an excellent emergency heal, and it’s advisable to have it on hand before embarking on tough activities.

Despite being locked behind her 6th Constellation, Barbara’s auto revive ability alone makes her a good choice for high-level Spiral Abyss or Weekly Bosses. Only Barbara and Qiqi have the ability to resurrect fallen party members. At C6, they both gain access to this ability. Here is our Barbara Best Build Guide.
