Once again, Genshin Impact players will be granted another opportunity to obtain the Shining Idol Barbara for free. As part of Update 1.1, players that have reached Adventure Rank 18 or completed the quest “A Long Shot” will receive Barbara for free. Players will only be able to receive Barbara through the Baptism of Song event once.
However, if you’ve already received Barbara through the Barbara Shining Debut event, you will be eligible to receive Barbara again in Update 1.1. There is no event limit for the Baptism of Song event, and any player that reaches Adventure Rank 18 will be able to receive Barbara for free.
This is a great opportunity for new players to add a free support character to their roster. Additionally, those who have already received Barbara will be able to upgrade her Constellation after receiving their free copy.
On November 11, 2020, two new characters will be added to Genshin Impact with another new character banner. Fatui member Childe Tartaglia and the cat-like Cryo archer Diona will be available to obtain through the upcoming banner. And even if you aren’t able to obtain Childe Tartaglia or Diona, there are plenty of free characters like Barbara that can help pad out your roster in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact is available for the PlayStation 4, PC, and both Android and Apple iOS devices. It will also appear on the Nintendo Switch.
