Base Stats

Neuvillette is a 5-star Hydro character that wields a Catalyst in Genshin Impact. He functions as an on-field, main DPS that utilizes his HP to scale powerful Charged Attacks to release torrents of water on unsuspecting enemies. Additionally, Neuvillette can generate "Sourcewater Droplets" to further enhance his powerful Charged Attacks at the cost of his HP. Lore-wise, Neuvillette is the Iudex of Fontaine, who's main purpose is to arbitrate, or to make the final judgements during a case. Despite his human appearance, Neuvillette is actually the Hydro Dragon and one of the Seven Sovereigns.

Neuvillette's Tier & Rating

His Elemental Skill and Burst creates Sourcewater Droplets that he consumes to hasten the charging time of his Charged Attack and heal HP for himself.

Team Rotation of Neuvillette and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for DPS Neuvillette

Neuvillette's gameplay as a DPS is to use the off-field character abilities then generate Sourcewater Droplets before he spams Charged Attacks for damage. You can choose to generate the Droplets first to apply Hydro for VV supports or Xilonen then resume off-field character rotation.

Basics of Using Neuvillette (Beginner Guide)

HP-Scaling Hydro DPS with HP Mechanics

Neuvillette is a DPS character who primarily deals damage with his Charged Attacks that can drain his HP. His HP drain mechanic is easily alleviated by the healing he gets from absorbing Sourcewater Droplets he generates.

Can Use Marechaussee Hunter Set

Neuvillette is one of the few DPS characters who is able to decrease his own HP, making him able to use Marechaussee Hunter without needing Furina to drain HP. Furina is still a good support for Neuvillette since his HP drain allows her to stack faster for her DMG buff.

Needs Sourcewater Droplets for Charged Attack Spam

Normally, Neuvillette's Charged Attack takes a while to charge. Neuvillette can speed up the charging phase by absorbing nearby Sourcewater Droplets. These Droplets can be created by Neuvillette himself, Hydro Traveler and Sigewinne.

Both Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst Creates Sourcewater Droplets

Neuvillette is able to create Sourcewater Droplets using his Elemental Skill and Burst. His Skill gives 3 Sourcewater Droplets while his Burst gives 6. Neuvillette only needs 3 Sourcewater Droplets to instantly use his Charged Attack so it's best to use his Burst then Skill so you can use at least 3 Charged Attacks before needing to refresh them.

At Least 2 Unique Hydro Reactions Recommended

Neuvillette's Passive allows him to obtain up to 3 stacks that can boost his Charged Attack DMG. These stacks can be obtained by triggering all Hydro reactions aside from Vaporize. If Furina is on the team, you can use 2 Hydro Reactions since her damage buff can make up for the 3rd.

Recommended Reactions to Use
Hydro Swirl	- VV holders can easily trigger Hydro Swirls and shred Elemental RES for Neuvillette to deal more damage. Recommended Characters:
Hydro Crystallize	- Certain Geo supports can provide sustain and Elemental DMG buffing while also applying Geo to trigger Hydro Crystallize. Recommended Characters:
Electro/Lunar-Charged	- Taser reactions is a classic reaction that's used a lot in Neuvillette teams. With the addition of Lunar-Charged, Neuvillette's teams can deal more damage with Ineffa contributing. Recommended Characters:
Freeze	- Freeze helps in preventing enemies from interrupting Neuvillette, allowing him to get a better window for damage against freezable enemies. Recommended Characters:

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Neuvillette

How to Use Neuvillette?

Top Tier Charged Attack Hydro DPS

Neuvillette is the current best Hydro DPS. This is due to his damage scaling and ease of use. Building a team for Neuvillette only has the requirement of being able to enable Hydro-related reactions so that his passive effect will be triggered and he will be able to obtain stacks. With how long lasting these stacks are, only a single trigger of such reactions from every member is needed for his rotations.

Use Hydro Reactions to Increase His Damage

The passive effect of Neuvillette allows him to gain stacks each time a Hydro-related reaction happens. Each stack will increase the damage dealt by his Charged Attacks. With this in mind, there is a lot of potential teammates for Neuvillette since he does not strictly need the Vaporize reaction to increase his damage greatly.

Use E. Skill and E. Burst to Create Droplets

Both his E. Skill and E. Burst can create Sourcewater Droplets for Neuvillette to use. Aside from Neuvillette, there are only two characters that can create Sourcewater Droplets, the Hydro Traveler and Sigewinne. Though both do not have any particular synergy with his kit, making them both relatively uncommon in his team comps.

Use Charged Attack to Absorb Droplets and Deal Damage

Sourcewater Droplets can drastically shorten the charging period of his Charged Attack. Without it, he will take a good few seconds charging and shortening the golden period of dealing damage with the team buffs. His Charged Attack also decreases his health but the Sourcewater Droplet absorption heals it back

Charged Attack is Good For Floating Over Water

It may seem like a waste to use the Charged Attack without Sourcewater Droplets but it has a great purpose for exploration! The charging period and the actual attack duration makes Neuvillette float for some time which can be used to cross bodies of water.

Should You Pull for Neuvillette's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

C1 is a High Value Constellation

Signature VS Constellations
C1 or Tome of the Eternal Flow > C2

C1 Improves Various Team Performances

Neuvillette's C1 enables you to run him in teams that would not give him all three stacks from his "Heir to the Ancient Sea's Authority" passive, with the added interruption resistance also allowing you to refrain from totally needing a shield character. All of this makes it so that Neuvillete gains full benefit from this passive in teams where he normally wouldn't, which would elevate the total party damage overall.

However, while impactful, it is not necessary, and you'll find that Neuvillette will still be a reliable DPS character even without constellations. Getting his signature weapon is still a viable choice, especially if you have no plans to obtain the Battlepass Catalyst, Sacrificial Jade.

Recommendation if You Have Sacrificial Jade
C1 > C2 > Tome of the Eternal Flow

High Refines on Sacrificial Jade is Competitive

R5 (max refinement) Sacrificial Jade is almost as good as his signature weapon. R1 (no refinement) Sacrificial Jade is a decent alternative still, but it will be outclassed by Tome of the Eternal Flow. In this case, you can opt into getting investing in his constellations, or look to get his signature weapon still if you have no plans to max refine the Sacrificial Jade.
