BARBARA BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | HP%/ER% | HP% | HP%
OVERALL SUPPORT: This is hands down the best build to get the most use out of Barbara. This is due to her weapon Thrilling Tales which just boosts your main DPS even further.
Focus on stacking her with a lot of HP% followed by ER%. This build helps to apply a lot of hydro while also healing your team. As you progress and her healing is good enough, then you can add damage on her to speed up your runs.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best catalyst for Barbara. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.
BARBARA CONSTELLATIONS
Gleeful Songs (Lvl 1): Barbara regenerates 1 Energy every 10s.
Vitality Burst (Lvl 2): Decreases the CD of Let the Show Begin♪ by 15%.
During the ability’s duration, your active character gains a 15% Hydro DMG Bonus.

- Fully restores the revived character’s HP to 100%.
This effect can only occur once every 15 mins.
STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Kokomi is a great F2P Hydro applier and healer in Genshin Impact!
- She is amazing in a freeze comp team since her ability to apply hydro is quite high.
- Her E is AoE and spirals around her which is great to apply a lot of elemental reactions.
- Her Burst heals without a timer unlike Bennett or Diona which is super useful.
- She is very useful even under low investment.
- She can be placed into nearly any team comp.
WEAKNESSES
- She applies “wet” status on herself which is really annoying if there are cryo enemies around.
- Her E radius is really small.
RANKING
Combat Rating (5/10): Barabra can be used for combat, however, you lose out on a lot of her healing and ability to buff your main dps.
Exploration (1/10): She has no role in making yoru exploration more efficient other than healing to keep your team alive.
Spiral Abyss (7/10): She is a solid healer here but needs to be with a close combat dps as her radius is quite small.
Artifact Farming (7/10): She serves the same role here as she does in Spiral Abyss.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (6/10): Again her heals are really great. She loses a point here since you can’t freeze the weekly bosses.
