Genshin Impact Barbara Team Comp Options

There are several roles that all characters obtain in Genshin Impact. Your perfect team would consist of the Main DPS, 2 SUB-DPS characters and one Support. Main DPS is occupied by a character that can deal a decent amount of damage from all sources, auto attacks, elemental reactions and elemental bursts. Sub DPSs are needed to activate reactions that boost the main DPS’ damage or deal some extra damage while the main DPS is sticking their elemental burst. Support can vary typically it is a healer/shielder, but in some cases, it can be a battery (the character that stacks elemental burst for the team) or a spreader (the character that can spread reactions activated by all the characters).

Barbara is a typical Support character with great healing. She is good at the beginning of the game when you learn how to play. Or in tough situations when you need an energy recharge booster and a healer. But due to the Wet effect that she applies it can be rather enjoying against Cryo enemies due to the Freeze effect. Below you can see some options for different Genshin Impact Barbara team comps that we find decent. But let’s start from the Genshin Impact free to play Barbara team comp.

Genshin Impact FREE TO PLAY Barbara team

Barbara is a healer of course, but together with the main DPS Kaeya, you will freeze enemies. Xiangling will be a sub DPS that will activate melt or vaporize reactions. They are pretty powerful. Noelle can be used to shield or between Kaeya and Xiangling elemental bursts to deal decent damage. You can change Noelle to Lisa though if you prefer damage from different reactions. Lisa will add an Electro element that provides a lot of new reactions in such a team.

The BEST Barbara team

Barbara is a good source of healing. Both her abilities heal. Burst heals the whole team and ability has two options. It always heals the active character, but if the active character is Barbara then her attacks will heal all team members for a small amount. Her main disadvantage is that the active character under her healing will get Hydro effect applied, so this can work against you during the fight with cryo enemies. You can take Barbara to almost any team, but Diluc is the best option because under Barbara’s ability he can activate Vaporization. Kaeya would be a sub-DPS who can apply Frozen effect the same way. Sucrose will make enemies stay together and spread elements with Swirl.

Premium Genshin Impact Barbara team

This team is very good and effective. In the future, if you will get Kokomi you can change Barbara on Kokomi. But even in this variant, you will have a very effective team. Ganyu is the main DPS boosted by Shenhe and Venti will gather enemies together and cut their resistances. He can also help spread Hydro attachment from Barbara to enemies nearby. And Ganyu or Shenhe will freeze them.

Other characters to pair with Barbara
