Media:Talent_Whisper of Water_Normal.ogv Normal Attack Media:Talent_Whisper of Water_Charged.ogv Charged Attack Media:Talent_Whisper of Water_Plunge.ogv Plunge Attack
	Let the Show Begin♪	Elemental Skill
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. While this skill is active, Normal and Charged Attacks will heal if the attack hits an opponent, even if they have a shield, armor, or immunity to Hydro DMG. Every 5s, this skill regenerates health and briefly applies Wet to the active character. Because of this, it's very easy to get frozen if the character is hit by Cryo DMG when this skill is active. The Continuous Regeneration ticks once on Barbara herself upon activation then every 5s for 4 heals in total, which means other characters can benefit from a maximum of 3 heals. With Barbara's 4th Ascension Passive Talent Encore, Melody Loop's duration can be extended by up to 5s, giving other characters a maximum of 4 heals. This skill consists of two components, which both share an internal cooldown (ICD) on their rate of applying Hydro: "Water droplets" deal two moderately small instances of damage immediately following the first tick of the Melody Loop, with a slightly larger radius than the Melody Loop. These can apply Hydro. The Melody Loop, which begins immediately upon casting this skill, ticks once every 1.5s. This effect is non-damaging and can apply Hydro. Damage resulting from this Hydro (such as from Electro-Charged reactions) doesn't trigger the bonuses from artifact sets that rely on damage from skills to activate. Damage amplifying reactions (such as Vaporize) can be triggered but don't do any damage Transformative reactions (like Electro-Charged) cause damage with the damage scaling with Barbara's level and Elemental Mastery The Unusual Hilichurl will become aggravated upon the application of Hydro from the Melody Loop. Together, these components can apply Hydro once per 3s, or every 3 hits, whichever comes first. Since the Melody Loop ticks once per 1.5s, and the droplets tick twice between the first and second tick of the Melody Loop, Melody Loop can potentially apply Hydro on its first, second, and third tick, before proceeding afterward to only apply Hydro every other tick (essentially applying Hydro one extra time at the beginning of this skill). Due to the intermittent application of the Wet status, this skill can be a source of Hydro Elemental Absorption from the active character. Depending on the Anemo skill it is paired with, Elemental Absorption can be difficult because of the need to time the brief Hydro application with the Anemo skill's duration. Barbara's Passive Talent 1, Glorious Season, affects Let the Show Begin♪ as follows: "The Stamina Consumption of characters within Let the Show Begin♪s Melody Loop is reduced by 12%." Barbara's Passive Talent 2, Encore, affects Let the Show Begin♪ as follows: "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."
