Overview
Barbara offers immediate party recovery or sustained healing through Melody Loop. She can stay active to heal while driving Hydro reactions, but the loop’s self-applied Wet creates defensive risks.
Role
HP-scaling healer / optional Hydro driver
Playstyle
Use the Skill for active-character healing, or stay briefly to heal the party through Normal and Charged hits.
Why It Works
Healing scales with Max HP, and Charged hits under Melody Loop give a larger healing event.
Watch For
Self-applied Wet can interact unfavorably with incoming Cryo or Electro.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Activate Melody Loop before a healing window. Attack only when party-wide recovery or Hydro driving is needed; use Shining Miracle for immediate recovery rather than extending unnecessary field time.
Key Notes
The loop applies Wet to the active character as well as nearby opponents.
Treat Burst as emergency recovery in the usual healer build.
For Nilou Bloom, level and EM matter when Barbara triggers Cores; preserve enough healing.
