Barbara is a 4-star Hydro Healer in Genshin Impact. Barbara is Mondstadt's dedicated healer and the game's most accessible sustain unit — she's given for free to every player who completes the early Prologue quests. Her entire kit revolves around HP-scaling heals delivered through three distinct vectors: Melody Loop's on-hit and periodic regeneration during her Elemental Skill, a large burst heal from her Ultimate, and the passive safety net of C6's one-per-15-minute resurrection. She asks for a simple one-stat investment path (Max HP%) and returns consistent, unconditional healing that keeps your team alive through virtually any PvE content. The tradeoff is permanent Wet application on your active character during Melody Loop, which makes her a liability in Cryo- or Electro-heavy enemy encounters where enemy-inflicted reactions become a two-way street. Despite being a 4-star in a meta increasingly defined by 5-star competition, Barbara remains the definitive zero-cost healer and a genuine C6 safety-net pick even in lategame accounts.
