Is Barley with this build the best trower-healer of the game, after Berrie? I think YES
Herbal Tonic
Barley throws a healing potion at nearby allies that creates an area that heals for 810 health per second.
Medical Use
Barley regains 540 health from each attack.
Shield
Gain extra 900 Health as a consumable Shield. The shield regenerates in 10 seconds, when at full health.
Health
Recover Health 50% more effectively.
Guide
With this build, Barley becomes extremely tanky, can help himself and his team, and, although he struggles A LOT against assassins, he's perfect against tanks or long-range. Recommended in a comp with a Tank and another healer, or with Crow/Colette.
Game Modes
Brawl Ball
Choose a map with lots of walls and use them well to take cover, but if necessary, expose yourself to push enemies away or finish off a kill. Your goal is to keep yourself and your teammates alive, annoy the enemies, and leave someone else the job of scoring a goal.
Works Well With
Damian
Damian is the perfect brawler to pair with, since he's a tank that's currently super meta, doesn't break walls, and can either heal himself with his gadget or generate more walls for Barley. One strategy could be to keep enemies away from the ball with Barley's super, use Damian's super to launch forward and take out enemies, and use both of their gadgets to heal Damian and go straight for the goal. This comp is Crazy!
