Cover-Credits:
Players can get Barbara for free in Genshin Impact by progressing through the main campaign. She does not need constellations to be effective so pulling for her is not recommended. The release of Dendro has made her a viable option for Hydro application in Bloom and Hyperbloom teams so you can consider building her if you do not have high-rarity units. If you want to build Barbara, here is a quick breakdown of Barbara’s Talents, Constellations and Passives.
Genshin Impact Barbara: Should You Pull?
Barbara is available for free and you will get a chance to obtain her by progressing through the initial story quests. Constellations are not needed for her so you should not actively go after additional copies of her.
