✨ Barbara Healer Build (Bloom Team) ✨

💦 Ever since they introduced dendro element into the game, it started changing the way of the old meta build. In this case, after eons of not playing with Barbara, I take her out again for my bloom team. She was stuck at level 70 for the longest time until I re-built her for bloom team.

💦 The build itself is slightly different in terms of artifact set and the subtats that we're looking for. If all this time we mostly build Barbara as pure healer (or dps, depending on what you like), this time she becomes the hydro applier as well as healer of the team.

💦 Disclaimer: This build is not perfect and by no means should be treated as a rigid rule. I just share what I have tested in game and what I know works for me. So always do your own research and take my guide with that note in mind!

Artifact Sets

💦 In this version of build, instead of using Maiden or Ocean Hued, I put 4 pc Gilded Dreams on her. All of the main stats remain the same as her healer build: hp% sands, hp% goblet, and healing bonus circlet. Mostly because Nilou already wields her signature weapon which adds bonus EM to the entire party so putting triple EM on Barbara would be too much.

💦 Otherwise, if you don't have anyone who wields Khaj Nisut in your party, it's best to put triple EM on Barbara.

💦 Bloom team requires high number of EM. She also needs to be at level 90 cuz transformative damage scales with the character's level and their EM.

Team Composition

💦 This is my current bloom team. I don't have Nahida, so she's replaced with dendro Traveler. Running with 2 hydro in the team helps boosting the party's hp which means more damage for Nilou and more heal for Barbara.

💦 In the future if there's another dendro healer, you can definitely switch Barbara out with them.

Weapon Choice

💦 Here are some choice I think can fit into Barbara in bloom team. The one I'm currently using is (left) Prototype Amber cuz it helps boost her healing ability for the team. If my Nilou didn't have her signature weapon, I'd probably equip either (middle) Sacrificial Fragments or (right) Wandering Evenstar.

Important Notes

💦 Barbara will be the driver in bloom team, meaning she'll spend more time on the field to keep triggering bloom by doing constant normal attack to the enemy, so try to get as much EM as possible on her to get the bloom damage high.

So that’s pretty much my Barbara build. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any through my ask box or just leave comment on this post and I’ll respond right away!

I am LOVING the new Ocean Hued Clam set on Barbara. About ten or so seconds from the end of the clip you can see the damage she does from it in the white numbers. It's just insane.
