![]() Elemental Skill: Let the Show Begin |
Barbara's Elemental Skill, Let the Show Begin, creates a Melody Loop that provides off-field healing to your active character.
If Barbara is the active character, her Normal and Charged Attacks will heal all party members (Charged Attacks give more potent healing than Normal Attacks).
If Barbara is switched out, then the active character is passively healed for every five seconds during the duration of the Skill.
Take care when using Barbara's Elemental Skill as it applies Wet to enemies and the active character and may trigger unwanted Elemental Reactions to yourself such as Frozen or Electro-Charged.
![]() Elemental Burst: Shining Miracle |
Barbara's Elemental Burst, Shining Miracle, is a strong burst that massively heals the HP of your entire party. This skill scales with Barbara's Max HP.
This is a great emergency heal, and it's best to always have it ready before taking on difficult challenges.
Despite being locked behind her 6th Constellation, the auto revive potential alone makes Barbara decent to bring for challenging high level Spiral Abyss or Weekly Bosses.
Barbara and Qiqi are the only characters who can revive fallen party members. They both unlock this feature at C6.
Barbara shares the same cooking ability as Jean and grants a 12% chance of doubling the cooking product when cooking a dish perfectly. This should be taken advantage of as much as possible when cooking high rarity healing dishes.
