| Character Details | Neuvillette is a solitary person. Fontainians who have tried to get close to him have, without exception, been politely rejected. To this day, no one even knows his first name, since he has always asked that he be referred to by his last name. He believes that close personal ties will lead to suspicions about the justness of one's judgments, while he must remain a symbol of absolute justice. Of course, there will always be people who just won't give up. They will say, "Come now, Monsieur Neuvillette. Not everyone will stand trial, nor will you always have to remain in the judge's seat." But is that really the case? If there is an answer in his heart, Neuvillette will not reveal it. Given enough time, every river will overflow and flood. Every last Fontainian is guilty, with judgment and doom certain to one day fall upon them — this is neither metaphor nor rhetoric. Yet, Neuvillette can share this fact with no one. Truly, he is a lonesome person. |
| Character Story 1 | Neuvillette is not known for his personal desires. Curious members of the public and journalists are wont to seek high and low for him all across Fontaine when he is not sitting in the Chief Justice's seat of judgment. He may sit at a seat for specially invited guests during performances, appear by the shore when the skies are just on the cusp of weeping, or be standing within the shadows cast by the afternoon sun. There was once a time when all believed that he was some kind of demon who existed solely to preside over trials and judge, forcing him to clarify that... Well, the gist of it was "to bear witness and judge is my great honor, but I am not a trial aficionado. Iudex is simply one of the hats I wear, and my time as a judge is but one phase of my life." This successful clarification led him out of the frying pan, and into the fire, as they say, with still more troublesome rumors emerging — "Shocking News! Neuvillette Claims 'Iudex' to be 'Springboard' Post! Unspeakable Plans Next; Where Will His Ambition End?" As for the new rumors, Neuvillette paid them no heed. Perhaps they were, in fact, right on the Mora, and he simply did not correct them out of principle? No one knows. Neuvillette is also not much of a drinker, nor does he like Fonta — indeed, he has never even been known to have given any sincere praise to the local chefs' most renowned dishes. This has led people to suspect that his lack of consumptive desire might come down to him simply not having a sense of taste. His response was to organize a water-tasting salon party, at which all were gobsmacked by the wide variety of flavors water from different regions could possess and floored by the Iudex's most refined tastes. Of course, the amount of authenticity present in such interactions cannot be known. But whatever the case, Neuvillette really is devoid of selfish want. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2 |
| Character Story 2 | Neuvillette is a just person. If not for that quality, he probably would not have been qualified to serve as the Iudex in the first place. To the children, the job of the man in the judge's seat is nothing more than wearing a wig, maintaining order in the court, and being the Oratrice's messenger pigeon. In truth, however, there are many administrative affairs that he must handle in private to keep the justice system up and running. Due to certain historical and traditional legacies in Fontaine, the Iudex also has the right to prosecute, as well as the power to enforce the law in person. This was originally intended to make it easier to maintain law and order during chaotic times, but as the system became further refined, this rule, which represented the spirit of the pioneer far more than that of the law, became maintained only symbolically. When the Iudex investigates a case or serves as the prosecutor, they must recuse themselves as judge, and have someone else take the seat. And in the few instances where he has personally investigated cases, Neuvillette has unerringly followed this rule. One thing to note is that he has been the only Iudex in the land for a very long time, so much so that people often speculate that he must have been given an unimaginably long life due to divine favor. As such, it is well that he is nothing if not fair-minded, or such an extensive term would surely lead to problems someday. As to what he is precisely — a familiar of the Hydro Archon, or a mysterious Hydro elemental creature, perhaps — there are a great many opinions, though Neuvillette has never once commented on such talk. Indeed, he is a person most impartial. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3 |
| Character Story 3 | Due to a variety of reasons, Fontaine's legal codices retain all manner of odd articles from days past. Neuvillette himself contributed this clause: "A Melusine shall be addressed as 'she,' rather than 'it,' for they are people too." This might look strange on its face, but the more one considers it, the more it makes sense. After all, Melusines have been found all over Fontaine since near-modern times, and fighting for equal rights for them beginning with terms of address sent a powerful signal. Indeed, Fontainians have noticed that Neuvillette displays different amounts of warmth toward Melusines and humans. Most regard this as the understated goodness in his heart having found an outlet, becoming the love of a father. Oddly enough, this one only gets stranger the more one knows about Neuvillette. For he is the Hydro Dragon, and in this capacity, he regards Melusines as dependents and successors, and also as the finest example of a new sort of Hydro Vishap species. Yet he is also the destroyer of the present order, the one who shall judge all gods, and the foe of humanity. So why, then, did he secure human rights for the Melusines? You alone could ask him this question, and this was his reply: "It wasn't up to me. Melusines simply prefer being around humans, that's all." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Character Story 4 | Neuvillette has always favored rainy days over sunny ones, as the moisture-laden air helps him relax. However, it has been a long time since he last delighted in standing under the rain. It seems that from the time he chose to walk alongside Fontaine, he began to play the role of a strictly law-abiding normal person. Of course, normal people would not walk through the rain without an umbrella, allowing the rain to drench their hair. It is worth mentioning that the role of Chief Justice is as much his true self as the Hydro Dragon is his essence. Only the role of "normal human" is one he must play. It was in their solitude and guilt that humans invented a god to judge them, and in their greed and guilt that they created a god to save them. And with that god no longer present, it falls to Neuvillette to fulfill such expectations. He has pardoned humanity, and has regained his original form. Now, he can finally walk in the rain and enjoy it. Indeed, he did do exactly this, and standing in the rain, he gazed into the distance, reminiscing about that day, so long ago, when he had received that letter. Yes, a letter had found its way to him by some unknown means. The name of the recipient had been left blank, with the text only addressing him bluntly as "you." A special you. A unique you. Neuvillette was not opposed to such a manner, but neither did he approve of it. He felt, vaguely, that the powers-that-be of the present world had no real right to judge him so. He knew that this letter had been written by the Archon Focalors, who was inviting him to come and see Fontaine, claiming "I shall leave you a seat with the best view in the greatest theater." Later, he would indeed come to receive that very seat — in the middle of the front row of the Opera Epiclese on the island known as Erinnyes. He would watch all manner of performances there, and the view was indeed excellent, just as Focalors had claimed. What happened later was not made public knowledge. In all likelihood, the people had no way of understanding what it meant that the throne was shattered, or how the power of water was fully restored to its original owner. As to their being pardoned, and why they had to be forgiven in the first place, that was an even broader and more complex tale. And thus did the curtain fall — Fontaine witnessed a happy ending to the greatest drama in history. Or was it? A happy ending, that is. It was then that Neuvillette understood that the "seat" mentioned in the letter was not merely a chair in an opera house. Focalors — or Furina, he should say — had given up her seat in the audience, come onstage alone, and become the heroine of the drama. There were only ever a fixed number of seats, and for one to sit down, was for another to depart. That letter had been an invitation, issued several centuries in advance. Well, Hydro Dragon? How do you feel about becoming a member of the human audience? Are you enjoying this human drama? * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5 |
| Character Story 5 | One as great as he should have no need for a constellation to shine over him. After all, "fate" is merely the manner in which the present ruler of this world plays with living beings. Now that he has obtained one part of seven of the authority over the mortal realm, and reforged the throne and title of a "Fully Fledged Dragon," he is one strong enough to equal and rival "the human realm," and logic would dictate that he need not subscribe to this system known as "fate." He can see, in the skies of destiny, how many stars contend with one another, creating a complicated, fragile world. He did not initially care much about such, for the puppet strings glossed as "divine rules" would one day be burned away by the fires of judgment. But he too was taken in by certain pleasing rhetoric. "In that case, why don't you just watch over the Fontainians? They were born from the Primordial Sea, after all. That makes them part of this planet's native life, too, and a form of life that requires your care." He would never admit that he himself had become quite fascinated with the joys and sorrows of humanity. Was it not so, he would argue, that humans find their gaze stolen by the ripples from falling raindrops in puddles? And could it not be, he would explain, that King Nibelung had been wrong, and that the black void could only be opposed if all life were to band together as one? Thus did he, in the end, come into his own "fate." The skies had left a special, ennobled place for him, one reserved for the overseers and those who could defy the world itself — that of his own reflection. —Of course, he was born in the form of a human. But why, then, is his constellation the image of the great leviathan? Well, this leads us to a more mundane explanation for the situation, one quite separate from grave matters of the world's fate: As the one named "Neuvillette," he would often be roped by Melusines (especially Sigewinne) into a bit of astrology via The Steambird's constellation columns or astrology guides from Sumeru. Would it really do, at that point, to tell them that he "didn't have a constellation" or that his own constellation was just "Neuvillette"? * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |
| A Fontainian Nursery Rhyme | "Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon, don't cry." No one knows who composed this children's song, or when, but it has organically spread throughout Fontaine all the same. Neuvillette has been somewhat perplexed by this. No matter how much time he has spent with Fontainians or how much they've been through together, he still cannot quite put a finger on how people view the real him — or that is to say, the Hydro Dragon. In addition to commanding the power of Hydro, the Hydro Dragon also had mastery over the sea that was the source of life. Before any outside life forms were ever created, all life on this planet traced its origins to the Primordial Sea. Indeed, those placid waters were worthy of the title of "birthing waters" or "amniotic fluid" given by those who came after. And the Hydro Dragon could, in turn, be regarded as this planet's original "God of Life." Neuvillette knows all this, of course, just like he knows that all rivers meet again in the great ocean. These birthing waters might not be of any special importance to humans, but for Neuvillette, he can differentiate every drop, every minute memory. He still remembers the foreign usurper appointing their own "God of Life" to order the living. He still remembers how the usurper had made "her" to suppress the original vital force of this planet. And of course, he also knows how "she" came to commit the original sin... Having considered all this, Neuvillette decided, then, that whoever had penned that rhyme, as well as the Fontainians who came to believe in it, must not have known the Hydro Dragon all that well, considering that they thought the Hydro Dragon could cry. What did they take said Dragon for, some sort of bleeding heart who grieved for humans and the heavens alike? * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Vision | Neuvillette does not need a Vision to manipulate the elements. However, there were some things he learned only after regaining his complete form: Severely wounded in the great war of vengeance, the usurper had their functions ruined, and could no longer use their absolute authority to suppress the original order of this world. To continue to subdue and control the resentments and loathing of the world, the usurper and one who came after created the Gnoses together. So it came to be that an order was made to be upheld, and thus did humans come to only possess these seven remembrances, and all fragments of the primordial were driven to devour each other. From that day on, whenever a person's wishes reached the heavens, the seven overseers of the material realm were duty-bound to grant them a gift. Though they might know nothing of who or what wish had stepped into the threshold of the sacred, the Seven Archons still had to impart a shattered shard of their mastery to that person. And when one so gifted completed their duty... the gift the gods would receive in return would be more abundant still. Neuvillette obeys no edict from the heavens, but he does acknowledge human will. So he too set aside parts of himself, as like unto the dragon-treasure hoards of old, awaiting valiant humans to come and claim them. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |

Why do I keep seeing Kokomi stans here? Like I get it she doesn’t work as intended but it’s been 2 years, move on
Some of you need to try main Characters like Amber or Dehya, there you can complain as much as you want
for real is like crying because you got a porshe but you wanted a MClaren
The Cult of Kok is everywhere. You can’t stop us.
I’m not trying to stop you from enjoying the game or anything, you yourselves already do very well
he is mid if they wont change these:
Elemental skill CD 12s > 6s
Elemental Burst CD 18s > 12s
Elemental Burst Cost 70 > 50
xD you are funny. how do you call him? neumidlette?
Mehvillette.
Neuvilame.
Who Neuviletthemcook.
to use his A1 to the fullest, it needs to be a rainbow team huh.
hmm that’s hard.
what I have in mind is
hydro , electro , dendro, anemo|geo team.
units that are fine as solo element/ deployable E or Q … so
neu , yae|fischl , yaoyao|kirara|biazhu , kazuha|zhongli|sucrose?
can’t think of any pyro that works well with him. XL need too much energy, thoma need normal attack to works well. xinyan…. is… xinyan.
for cyro then Lyla or rosaria?
what’s your plan for him?
I think Dehya sorta fits for the pyro character. She won’t steal any reactions like Xiangling will, with Xiangling on overload, or Xiangling on a pyro-infused Kazuha slash, even burning. Dehya gives the IR that is recommended for Neuv and her application rate is modest so she will either cause vaporize or burgeon but not stealing elements aggressively like no ICD XL +Ultra.
Electro is gonna be Yae or Fischl, both would have Golden Troupe, or it could be Beidou with an exorbitently high ER value since she can trigger burst on CA and gives IR. For anemo, it is as you say, Kazuha or Sucrose. I can’t recommend Zhongli since you will still need a healer or you’re just gonna get a decelerating amount of hydro dmg bonus from time CA starts to when it ends. But for dendro, I was thinking Yaoyao or Baizhu., Baizhu most likely but it creates an ER-expensive duo. Baizhu gives IR and heals so much you would hardly see Neuv go below 65% of max HP.
Cryo is either Diona or Layla. I think Rosaria would be a fair choice. MAybe she will overcap his crit if Neuv is on crit rate weapon, but likely to be on Amber or a Cdmg Weapon so Rosaria would probably get him around 51% crit rate paired with Marechaussee hunter, and from there, it is all just substat rolls.
Neuv’s best teams is either soup with a IR-healer or a hyperbloom team with an IR-healer. National would be okay, but you’re only getting 2 elemental reactions- vaporize and hydro swirl. You can’t replace Benny for someone else if Xiangling stays on considering XL’s high need for ER, and if you have Bennett instead, the atk is meaningless to Neuvillette and pyro is a higher infusion priority for Kazuha than hydro is, which will screw up or steal any hydro reactions
yeah beidou probably too hard or ineffective to build as a solo electro.
fridge definitely sound fun to play. just might have a hard time keep swirling hydro. gonna need good rotation.
yeah i was trying to figure out his team building that benefit his A1 and interruption coverage since im planning to have him c0
he gets interrupted easily so i need a shielder that can contribute reaction, the options are zhongli, baizhu, diona, kirara, layla, thoma, dehya might work too
standard flex hyperbloom is the safest pick but hyperfridge can also be good, the cryo shielder synergize well with his team
neu, nahida, kuki, shielder of different elements(zhongli, diona, layla)
layla can buff his CA at c4, diona buff em at c6, im reluctant to use zhongli since his pillar can get removed and its small aoe, his shred is good tho
kirara and baizhu not good, you only get 2 stack of A1, unless you want to replace nahida with cryo offielder and use her on the second team, it doesnt sound good
thoma can work with him since you can do NA before charging but yeah hes not the best pick imo
dehya… xinyan will fight with kuki
he lack synergy with national roster, but its national team, they are strong without him already, but neu wont be he star of the show
if you have Raiden, maybe Neuvi – Raiden – Xiangling – any shielder ? Raiden can ease Neuvi and Xianling energy cost and able to do over-vape reaction too. If not, I’m actually don’t know how much ER gain if we use F2P option like Electro traveler tho.
Rotation should be : Raiden E => Shield up => Xiangling E + Q => Neuvi E + Q then charge attack => Raiden Q Rinse and Repeat process. (that is if enough energy for everyone
yeah the hardest part is getting IR and Healer in the same team.
I’m leaning on fridge team because hyperbloom already op and works without him.
Rainbow or double hydro. Double hydro isn’t that much behind rainbow, because you get hydro resonance, and an easier time with energy.
I was thinking Nahida, Kuki and Zhongli for a hyperbloom rainbow team, or Kazuha, Zhongli, Fischl for a more damage focused team. Layla with Freedom-Sworn could also replace Zhongli. The characters would have to preferably skill focused or really low energy bursters to have a good time.
ah right I forgot hydro resonance.
hmm then kok can’t solve healing problem. or maybe the hydro archon will work well with him in the future.
Yea. Right now it looks like Nahida, Raiden, Zhongli, Neuvilette would be his best team. Rotation would look something like: Raiden E, Nahida E Q, Neuvillette E Q, Zhongli E, Neuvillette CA CA CA E CA
I might try the safest team first, which is Neuv-Fischl-Kazuha-Zhongli. And maybe try venturing out with replacing Zhongli with Nahida while letting Kazuha trigger the hyperblooms. Or if that team is squishy, maybe neuv-nahida-raiden-zhongli? Kuki probably won’t work since you’d be in range during your attacks.
Of course in these teams, I would need Neuv to be in prototype amber. I’m not yet sure if I will get his sig weapon, but assuming I won’t get it, I think I can get away with just using prototype amber for heals
If Neuvi use only 2 reaction to get 2 A1 passive stack, he can get hyperbloom team and national team. But If i want to make full use of 3 A1 passive stack, which team is good for him while he still has enough energy for his burst and possible maximum dmg output theoretically ?
He dosen’t need any rainbow. Kazuha alone is enough. Kazuha’s e q will give neuvillette 3 stacks immediately only by swirling 3 times
Doesn’t it count only as 1 type of reaction? As far as discussion goes in leak subreddit, 1 type of reaction only counts as 1 stack in his passive. No matter how many times you hydro swirl, it will only count as 1 stack. You need to proc different hydro related reaction to gain more stacks like vaporize, electrocharge, bloom, etc.
At first I thought his c1 was scummy for locking his interruption resistance but then I read that passive again and it’s SO much worse wtf
To max his stacks at c0 he needs 4-element teams, and at c1 he only needs 3, so he can run double hydro, miraculously fixing energy, application and rotation issues while giving him archon-tier poise and maxing his output with added damage from hydro resonance.
I still like his base kit but I’m interested to see some calcs on just how weaker he is without this crap because this looks substantial.
But the stack is independent, swirl 3 times but still count as one stack. Sure that Kazuha or any cc anemo chara can help Neuvi get more stack by swirl those innate elemental enemies like slimes, but not reliable at all. Assuming using national team fighting against normal enemies mostly, Neuvi can only get 2 stack with hydro swirl, vaporize.
I think a part of my hatred for him comes from how they are treating him versus how they treated Kokomi.
You will never see a Kokomi do more than 300k Crt. Because even with a Crt. Build she would lack HP. If she isn’t lacking HP then she is lacking Crt. You need to make a choice between Crt. or Hp and EM.
Hoyoverse fucked up with Kokomi and the fact that they are making a male character who has the same base overpowrd isn’t helping.
y’all need to get over that kokomi shit already (considering she isn’t even bad), the newer units are bound to have more interesting stat accessabilities
As I recall, the whole Kokomi Crit thing was to balance her out and simplify her build. Trying to add Crit to her current builds would be super messy as she’d quite literally scale off of everything except DEF and EM (assuming Vape isn’t your goal). With her scalings she’s capable of contributing damage while still healing (Clam compliments this greatly). Not to mention her ability to apply Hydro on and off field. Neuvi doesn’t have a hint of healing or proper off-field application, so Hoyo doesn’t see an issue with letting him go crazy with scalings (His encouragement of rainbow teams could potentially lock him out of Vape too, so the added multipliers are especially relevant). He kinda feels like Lyney, bombastic damage output in return for a potential lack of reactions and role flexibility (no off-field damage or party buffs). Kokomi got that weird crit passive that haunted her early on, but she 100% won the war with her last minute ICD buff on top of everything else. All Neuvi needs to put his current placement in jeopardy is a simple nerf to his damage output, as cool as I think he is. I mean his competition is more Tartaglia and Ayato overall, Neuvi’s damage output will have to justify his onfield role to compete with Stellar ICD+Frontloading King and Burst Applicator-Driver Man.
Wait wtf is up with ALL fontaine characters so far having self healing and damaging capabilities? Even the hydro traveller has some.
New mechanics to overthrow the usual attack meta or the EM dendro meta. Just think what Furina can do
Always love to see the typical expert on game balance who thinks he’s more knowledgeable than the game designers. Y’all really need to get over this already; it’s been 2 years.
This has got to be satire
Interesting how you’re talking about Hoyoverse making a better copy of Kokomi when they have completely different roles. FYI the sourcewater droplets can only heal himself (or maybe hydro traveller since they both use sourcewater droplets?).
How are you still complaining about Kokomi? Kokomi is a battle mage cleric and foremost plus has an active off-field hydro AoE, something that Neuvillette lacks. All the whiners really trying to make Kokomi a DPS rather than the battle cleric she is. She heals first, and deals damage second. Her damage scales off healing bonus rather than crit dmg so she is balanced. Neuvillette is more inflexible but has stronger dps abilities. I prefer flexibility over “Wow! 300k Crit damage!”
Kokomi is the worst designed limited character in this game, her simps will defend her to oblivion but she’s just a prototype Dehya who happens to have off field AoE which keeps her relevant. It’s even comical that her constellations are of 0 support value and they were designed for her to be a carry. Can’t wait for Furina to kick her out of meta.
“Can’t wait for Furina to kick her out of meta.”
Only if Furina can heal. If she can’t, then please enjoy another pile of salt dumped onto your head.
Nobody needs her healing in freeze where everyone will die without moving an inch and for bloom Yaoyao exists who heals more than Kokomi without even her talents leveled up with Q. She will be easily forgotten once we get an upgraded Mona.
*Everyone in your team will die without moving an inch. There fixed it for you. Kokomi is almost necessary for the freeze team and is a great help for the other teams as well, as proven by the past Abyss usages. Just get your clown make up ready lol.
Only someone inhaling that much Kokopium would bring abyss usage rates to justify how Kokomid is a great help in other teams where she is easily replaceable by basic 4 star healers like Kuki and Yaoyao ?XD
Bru, aside from the big pp damage from her NA, Kok is also unkillable.
If they allowed her to crit, Kok would broke the entire hierarchy of Teyvat.
Imagine what the crit build Kok can do with the Lost Prayer, or Wanderer’s signature weapon, or hell, Neuv weapon can also work.
Suddenly you don’t need anyone, just Kok.
Bro move on, let husbando enjoyers have something for once
why is it 2times of CAs when he can summon 9 droplets instead of 3? Im truly curious
What..?
> Ult gives you 6 balls and Skill gives you 3 = 9 balls
> 9 balls = 3 balls pers charged = 3 times CA ..?
Is it really hard to understand
Why are there so many trolls/baiters? What happened to this website?
Would Widsith work on him? I’ve seen many people complaining that he doesn’t have many weapon choices
Kind of? But also not that great??? The ATK and EM buffs don’t do much for him, so it would mainly be used for the occasional Elemental DMG and Crit DMG substat.
2 out of 3 buff is completely useless for him, so no…
He kind of both Constellation-locked and Weapon-locked.
You need C1 to play him comfortably like Hu Tao or suffer very strict team composition. And his BIS 5* just out damage any other weapon by a lot. He also have no good BIS 4* weapon except new BP.
It the bad direction for Genshin, really show how greedy Mihoyo are considered they already got multi-billion profit to shareholder already.
I don’t recall Width ever failling.
this time its mid on him. his sig weapon is far superior than current 5 stars and apparently his best 4 star is prototype amber so thats something
What a boring kit, he will pretty much play the same way always with almost no inputs or variance. Press E>Q>CA for 3S>CA for 3S>Swap.
This is beyond barebones for an On-field dps, what happened to Alhaitham/Wanderer type of kits Mihoyo? That should be the bare minimum for On-field characters in season 3 of the game…Ning is a cata 4* On-field DPS from day 1 and her kit is 10 times more engaging to play than this will be.
Yikes, lets hope the later characters aren’t like this.
idk shooting a giant laser seems pretty fun to me
“Alhaitham/Wanderer kits”
Wanderer : E > CA > CA > CA > CA > CA >CA > CA > CA > CA Burst
Alhaitham: Burst > NA till first mirror gone > Skill > NA till next mirror is gone > CA > NA till stacks run out
Ning : E > NA x3 > CA > rinse repeat > burst
Idk if you have sludge for a brain but from what you described you do , the characters you listed have equally the same or more boring playstyles and to also add salt to injury Wanderer and Ning literally only have 1 teams each which is mono geo or mono anemo so ontop of having boring kits they have boring teams
Smartest Zajef viewer assuming everyone spams charged attacks with Wanderer because his neckbeard daddy told him it’s his ‘best combo’ lmao
Who tf is Zajef?
also it’s been in KQM since day 1 , his best dps rotation is CA spam and even if you didn’t CA on him you’d just NA or a mix of both but that isn’t anymore engaging , it’s the difference between holding the atk and pressing it that’s it
Twitch has rotted your brain and Scara mains live everyday of their lives with a copium tank next to the chair the fat asses are glued too because they can’t stand how mhy screwed over a char that was hyped for years and turned out to be a mid mono elemental dps who got boring after his debut patch
fr one day Scara mains will have to stop coping and finally accept their emo boy was just a subpar Yoimiya.
Honestly it’s only because of Dehya that the standard bar of characters has been set too low, otherwise Scara was arguably the worst 5 star character in 3.x, he was literally weak in his own tailored abyss
Bruh CA spam is not his best combo lmfao…
CA spam only comes close to N2C if you do 14 charged attacks in the rotation which is mechanically difficult at C0 to pull off consistently. Even if in some world CA spam is his best combo (it’s not), CA spam separating the enemies makes it weaker in practice. Also, the radius of his NA is almost as big as CA (3.4 vs 3.5 iirc). CA is only his best combo if you’re breaking shields or you’re using Dodoco Tales.
I’m sorry but Wanderer has the most boring kit on entire Teyvat, just E > CA x 10.
But I agree with you Neuvillette kit looks super boring, it will get dull real fast.
Maybe you shouldn’t spam charged attacks with Wanderer like your daddy neckbeard Zajef tells you to.
1. Wanderer CA prduces the highest dmg number on his kit. Even a toddler can tell.
2. Who’s Zajef?
I agree, his kit is boring which is a shame because I think he’s got the best design among all tall male characters there. Maybe it’s the limitations of a catalyst user?
But I disagree with the Wanderer kit thing you said. Replace it with maybe Childe with a kit that the devs really put an effort in.
I don’t even know if I’ll go for Yelan or continue saving for Neuvilette after seeing the kit, although his animations are just so good looking.
why is it 2times of CAs when he can summon 9 droplets instead of 3? Im truly curious
I think Neuvillette’s multipliers are fine as it is, since he lacks teammates (teammates that will support him, not do damage alongside him, think how faruzan slots in wanderer teams or benny in a ton of teams) and good weapons (aside from sig of course). I hope they won’t change much on him. I wish his C1 is built in, but as a veteran Hu Tao main I should just suck it up and save up.
Also, why are kokomi mains here? It’s been years… We got 2 nations already. Will you be complaining still once we land in khaenriah or something?
can someone pls explain how his “normal charged” atk works? at le 10 there’s that 246.24%, and it’s supposed to scale off atk as always. But when does he use it if he’s supposed to also use his kamehameha?
(fun joke, but the japanese meaning of that db tecnique has never been so much accurate lol)
CA must be charge, if you max the gauge, enhanced CA, if not,normal CA.
thanks
So they are trying to recreate hutao banner success
-HP scaling
-Charge attacker
-Dmg bonus based on HP remaining
-C1 bait/good investment QoL
-High Crit dmg sig weapon
His placement probably similar to hutao, S at c0, S+ at c1, if not then they will likely throw a bone by releasing his version of yelan
Granted your comparisons are very on point, I don’t think those played a big part on Hu Tao’s success. A lot of people find her playstyle rather clunky as well.
Just like Hu Tao, his weapon has high Crit DMG in exchange of less ATK, because they don’t care about it. Which also comes with f2p weapon struggle. I guess he’ll use TTDS? lol. Prototype Amber’s up there too. Widsith is always cool even without the passive, tho assuming he applies quick Hydro, he’ll likely only benefit off the Elem DMG sadge.
He’ll totally sell very well cuz he’s gorgeous. Hope his c0 resistance is at least same as Koko with Ult ugh, and even if it’s the same, she gets thrown around a lot by bosses. If c1 is not same as Eula Ei & Nahida then RIP, gonna need shielder badly
His interrupt resistance at C0 is basically zero, there are videos out of him getting thrown around from one hit. He’ll definitely need a shielder or C1 to function properly, so Zhongli will be one of his best pairings.
Zhongli would be okay, but I think Dehya has an upper hand over Zhongli. Biggest reason? The reliability to trigger an elemental reaction with her. With Zhongli, you have a small AoE for resonance to happen, and the construct can break, plus ToM will only help Neuvillette via shield strength. Dehya on other hand, has a skill radius as large as the outline of Neuvillette’s CA radius, so you are guaranteed to get a reverse or forward vaporize, which will give one stack of Draconic Glories. The interruption resistance is still there.
Other than that, I think another shielder like Diona would be preferred over Zhongli. Zhongli’s res shred is cool, but if it’s taking effect, that means enemies are too close for comfort, and Neuvillette, by association as catalyst, doesn’t have a particularly high amount of def, even if he is loaded with HP, since Def is taken nto account when it comes to shield damage.
Diona’s shield gives movement speed boost so you can actually move around faster with Neuvillette’s CA. Her C6 Em will also be engaging with any hyperblooms plus the healing. Zhongli helps with IR, but not any sort of healing, same with Dehya. If you notice, Neuvillette heals himself before he drains his HP. Precedent is while charging up, and following that is “Every Droplet he absorbs will increase the formation speed of the Seal, and will heal Neuvillette based on his Max HP.” -> after charging up, “Unleashes surging torrents, dealing continuous AoE Hydro DMG to all opponents in a straight-line area in front of him.” -> If Neuvillette’s HP is above 50%, he will continuously lose HP while using this attack.
So Neuvillette heals while charging up the Charged attack, but during the Charged attack itself, he loses HP. So you will actually need a healer, or say a healer-shielder like Baizhu. Why? He is practically an inverse Hu tao. Both fall under a Charged attacker category, and both have a boundary around the 50% HP threshold. Neuvillette stops losing HP until 50% HP. Hu Tao gains a 33% pyro dmg bonus at or below 50% max HP. Here we have Neuvillette, who will have a minimum of 12% hydro dmg bonus that his CA keeps him at since he would be at 50% max HP, but he gains a max of 30% hydro dmg bonus if he can maintain his HP% at 80%, which Baizhu would have no issue with while providing a refreshing coat of IR. It all makes sense now.
So during Neuvillette’s Q>E>3S CA, you want to maximize that A4 bonus by keeping Neuvillette’s health relatively healthy so need to heal him consistently during the CA. His best buds are Bennett (atk buff is useless), Baizhu, Kuki, and perhaps Kokomi. During his CA, it is a tug-of-war to keep his health at around 70-80% current Hp while he depletes his HP at 8% max Hp per second so a super-healer like baizhu would do the trick.
Dehya doesn’t offer nearly enough pyro app for reactions to be triggered by Neuvillette and not her. Combined with the fact that hydro-triggered vapes are considered strong reactions and thus require exception pyro application to be viable, you’re better off using Xiangling. Otherwise, Zhongli strictly outperforms her. Also, Diona’s shield is pretty flimsy, and since mobile, hard-hitting enemies are becoming more common, that’s just begging for a bad time. If getting hit is such a big issue, running a freeze team against enemies who are susceptible is likely your best bet, regardless of whether it includes Diona or not. Otherwise, Zhongli will once again outperform.
Idk why you even brought up Bennett. What makes him a good support is significantly less useful for someone like Neuvillette. You’re, once again, better off using Zhongli.
I know some people don’t like relying on Zhongli so much, but no need to lie and underplay his value.
Hehe similar name
But yeah fr, his weapon situation is a bit of a mess. Having P.Amber on a damage dealer is kinda novel, but it’s crazy that Widsith is 2/3 dud buffs ignoring the Crit DMG. Wish some weapons gave Base HP instead of Base ATK.
