Let the Show Begin♪

Elemental Skill

Description
Gameplay Notes
Advanced Properties
Attribute Scaling
Preview

Summons water droplets resembling musical notes that form a Melody Loop, dealing Hydro DMG to surrounding opponents and applying the Wet status to them.

Melody Loop

On hit, Barbara's Normal Attacks heal your own party members and nearby teammates for a certain amount of HP, which scales with Barbara's Max HP.
On hit, Barbara's Charged Attack generates 4 times the amount of healing.
Periodically regenerates your own active character's HP.
Applies the Wet status to the character and to opponents who come in contact with them.

This skill does not generate any Elemental Particles.
This skill deals 2 instances of damage at the start of the skill.
While this skill is active, Normal and Charged Attacks will heal unconditionally if the attack hits an opponent.
Every 5 seconds, this skill regenerates health and briefly applies Wet to the active character and co-op members who come in contact with Melody Loop's ring.
The Continuous Regeneration ticks once on Barbara herself upon activation then every 5 seconds for 4 heals in total, which means other characters can benefit from a maximum of 3 heals.
Melody Loop's Wet application on contact has additional properties:
- When an entity enters the ring, an AoE Hydro application will be triggered. That entity then enters a 1.5-second CD before it can be registered for another AoE Hydro application. A hit is registered with a blinking of the Melody Loop as well as a SFX.
- Multiple entities have their separate timers, thus multiple hits can occur in a brief moment.
  - Due to its ICD, Melody Loop can apply Wet to the same target a maximum of twice within 2.5 seconds no matter how many times it is triggered.
- Beside enemies, entities counted for potential trigger of Melody Loop include objects such as Torch, Stoves, Mineral, Dendro Core, Cuihua Tree, Mist Flower, Flaming Flower, Dandelion Seed, Sakura Bloom, etc.

Passive Effects

Passive Talent 1, Glorious Season: "The Stamina Consumption of characters within Let the Show Begin♪'s Melody Loop is reduced by 12%."
Passive Talent 2, Encore: "When your active character gains an Elemental Orb/Particle, the duration of the Melody Loop of Let the Show Begin♪ is extended by 1s. The maximum extension is 5s."

Constellation Effects

Constellation Level 2, Vitality Burst: "Decreases the CD of Let the Show Begin♪ by 15%. During the ability's duration, your active character gains a 15% Hydro DMG Bonus."
Constellation Level 5, The Purest Companionship: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.

Fully restores the revived character's HP to 100%. This effect can only occur once every 15 mins. In order for this constellation to activate, the character's fallen animation must play. Therefore, if a character receives fatal damage and is quickly switched to skip the fallen animation, the character will not be revived; this does not start the 15-minute cooldown for the constellation to activate again.

Each Constellation activation requires one Barbara's Stella Fortuna.
