How to Beat Barbara in a Friendly Fracas

Use Barbara's Hydro against her

When Barbara uses her Elemental Skill, she applies Hydro to the Active Character Card. You can use this to your advantage and Freeze Barbara's cards with a Cryo attack!

Deal damage with AoE Attacks

Barbara's deck is also optimized for healing, so you must deal as much damage as possible in each round. Use AoE attacks from Ganyu and Jean to damage all of Barbara's cards in one go!

How to Beat Barbara in a Serious Showdown

Take Out Kaeya First

The bread-and-butter of Barbara's deck is setting up Hydro application thru Mona and Barbara, and triggering a Frozen reaction with Kaeya's skills. If you don't take Kaeya out, you'll keep on getting frozen while he's building energy points for his burst.

Once he's out, take out Mona, as her burst can be deadly, especially with Barbara around.
