Quick note: the version you're looking at has a small mistranslation. In the Ult, near the end it says "Self Eureka increases". It should say "Self Moxie increases" instead. Also if you think about it self Eureka increases doesn't make sense at all since the previous line literally says it recovers all Eureka for allies with [Quartet], so it's already at max.
I don't think she is a buffer, she is a DPS, so what I am expecting is that, when U use her Ultimate, she grants herself [Quartet] and a Selected Ally [Quartet]. Now you want to quickly let her get to her Ultimate again, and this time you select a second unit and give them [Quarter], while Barcarola's and the previous ally's [Quarter] will extend, so now we have 3 unit with [Quarter]. Then quickly get to her Ultimate again and now select the final unit and give them [Quartet]. Now with everyone having Quartet, her [Improvised incantation] will do several attacks after we use S1 and will also do more dmg after we use S2, so we do want both used in a turn to optimize [Improvised Incantation]. I do believe the [Improvised Incantation] is an attack that does multiple atk and each will be counted as a FUA (so she will be able to give many forcefield stack to Flutterpage). Now this is not all, the higher her inspiration, then [Improvised incantation] will deal more mental dmg based on number of Inspiration that is transferred. So I can see, she is really AP hungry to be able to maintain all [Quartet]s which is why her Ult also give her moxie gain
Barcarola’s kit seems strong in theory, but it feels a bit disjointed in practice. I’ve noticed a few key problems that make her challenging to use effectively: 1. Quartet Buff Mechanics How it Works: Quartet is a single-target buff applied to one ally and herself. It increases ATK and provides an additional boost based on the amount of Inspiration. However, the issue arises with its mechanic of consuming "all Eureka from allies with Quartet." The Problem: Most DPS units rely heavily on their own Eureka to function optimally. Forcing them to sacrifice their core mechanic just to enable Barcarola’s buff feels counterintuitive. We also don’t know how significant the ATK increase is, making it hard to justify the trade-off. Using her Ultimate to buff a unit that doesn’t rely on Eureka might be a better option, but this leads to another issue. 2. Limited Synergy with DPS Units Barcarola wants teammates who can use Eureka, but at the same time, she consumes it for her buffs. Many strong DPS characters already have well-established teams and swapping her in may disrupt those synergies. A potential team could include Anjo, Barcarola, and 37, with Vila or Erza . You could use Contract Anjo with 37 for synergy, and buff Anjou with Barcarola. However, this setup makes her extremely AP hungry, due to her being the only real unit that can consume Eureka every round. No matter how you build her team, you’ll end up sacrificing some part of someone's kit. For example: If you focus on buffing one DPS, you lose out on utilizing Barcarola’s full potential. If you try to build around her entire kit, other units will struggle due to the constant Eureka drain.
Getting to Ezra's ult is pretty AP heavy though and probably not worth the AP investment anymore considering other supports. 6 is probably the best just cause its so easy to forget to use 6's Eureka in the first place since it only goes down when you ult or have 5 of it for his buff.
13:50. One thing i noticed is that this effect is triggered specifically by attack incantations, so neither 6 or Getian can trigger this effect, since they both have debuff incantations. Not that Getian is a good pairing but it's still interesting
Mb her additional attack is actually a lot of attacks like each inspiration is a separate attack and then she might be very synergistic with flutterpage, cuz flutterpage alone will give her 8 additional attacks + minimum 6 from barka + 5 from 37 for example, which almost instantly maxes out fp's buff and each of those additional attacks gonna get some bonus dmg from fp + 19 eurika for 37. That's staff so crazy that i starting to think that u probably would require several inspiration stacks for each additional attack
My thought is that this character is built for raid. Spamming ultimate for buff, all incantations are single attack, and eureka-thirsty plus improved incantation... well we already see where she's belong to now
It's an interesting kit, we'll see how she works with other star characters because it kinda goes against 37 and flutterpage so it's a bit weird, maybe new meta?? We'll see in the future
The first time I read her kit, I immediately thought her best companion is Flutterpage. 37 is a maybe, but you can't maximize 37 a lot since she needs her Eureka full to do anything

this stuff harder to understand than my organic chemistry 😢
@SM-oc4rc yes it is damn

Im skipping anyways so it don't matter, salute the content
Believe it or not, she's probably best paired with Erza since he doesnt need to use his Eureka often and just grow his shrooms with his ult

Jakazin just a reminder that you are my favorite UA-camr. Get well soon.
Maybe just a caracter to freestyle in the UTTU and a Series of Dusk
I guess she’ll get better in the future when they release more Eureka centered units that synergise well with her?
The character will probably release 1 or 2 patch after this, so yeah it is pretty much expected when they introduce new unit with unique mechanic
Windsong? Yes🎉
It's an interesting kit, we'll see how she works with other star characters because it kinda goes against 37 and flutterpage so it's a bit weird, maybe new meta?? We'll see in the future
Yeah, I bet we’ll see more Eureka characters in the future!
Her team will probably get release in 1 and 2 patch after this so expect new meta to come.
Bro is always sick ICANT
Just dont see the point in this character when Flutterpage is right before her. Should've just made her a buffer instead of some weird Star Argus.
Stargus
I am here for the ASMR
The first time I read her kit, I immediately thought her best companion is Flutterpage. 37 is a maybe, but you can't maximize 37 a lot since she needs her Eureka full to do anything
ezra ? this the only one that dont need it and that give it. so maybe he getting a euphoria buff soon 🤷🏽♂️
Too much information 😵💫
She's a seahorse which is so cute 🥺.
Finally a skip after Willow and Flutterpage patch. Too many to save for.
Based on the kit I would pair her with Flutterpage, 37 and windsong? all attack and eureka units
Maybe she is so strong that u wouldn't care convert other characters in simple eureka batteries?
I have decided to only pull in limited banners i will figure her out if i fail a 50-50 to her some day.
I'm a new player, and I currently only have Lucy and Semmenweis. Is it worth doing a 10-pull on the Thursday banner?
A sub DPS at most, but a buffer nevertheless.It's very status reliant, tho. Basically without Inspiration it does nothing
Her name should be BARCALONA
2 year anniv char?
Oooo I got here early
2.4 is a skip not good enough but only for 37 aside other Star Characters
Firstyyy‼️✨
