Neuvillette Kit Explanation
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| Normal Attack: Oath Taking Spear Technique | With light flourishes, Neuvillette commands the tides to unleash a maximum of 3 attacks, dealing Hydro DMG. Charged Attack consumes stamina for AoE Hydro blast. Plunging Attack strikes ground from mid-air. |
| Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment | Unleashes surging torrents, dealing continuous AoE Hydro DMG to all opponents in a straight-line area in front of him. Equitable Judgment will not consume any Stamina and lasts 3s. If Neuvillette's HP is above 50%, he will continuously lose HP while using this attack. Can absorb Sourcewater Droplets to reduce charging time and heal. |
| Elemental Skill: O Tears, I Shall Repay | Summons a Raging Waterfall that will deal AoE Hydro DMG to opponents in front of Neuvillette based on his Max HP. After hitting an opponent, this skill will generate 3 Sourcewater Droplets near that opponent. Arkhe: Pneuma alignment periodically summons Spiritbreath Thorn. |
| Elemental Burst: O Tides, I Have Returned | Unleashes waves that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on Neuvillette's Max HP. After a short interval, 2 waterfalls will descend and deal Hydro DMG in a somewhat smaller AoE, and will generate 6 Sourcewater Droplets within an area in front. |
| A1 Passive: Heir to the Ancient Sea's Authority | When a party member triggers a Vaporize, Frozen, Electro-Charged, Lunar-Charged, Bloom, Lunar-Bloom, Hydro Swirl, or a Hydro Crystallize reaction on opponents, 1 stack of Past Draconic Glories will be granted to Neuvillette for 30s. Max 3 stacks. Past Draconic Glories causes Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment to deal 110%/125%/160% of its original DMG. |
| A4 Passive: Discipline of the Supreme Arbitration | For each 1% of Neuvillette's current HP greater than 30% of Max HP, he will gain 0.6% Hydro DMG Bonus. A maximum bonus of 30% can be obtained this way. |
| Utility Passive: Gather Like the Tide | Increases underwater Sprint SPD for your own party members by 15%. Not stackable with similar effects. |

Neuvillette Talent Priority
Neuvillette's talent priority focuses on maximizing his Charged Attack damage, which provides the majority of his DPS output.
| Talent | Recomended Level | Priority Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | 9+ | Highest Priority - Neuvillette's enhanced Charged Attacks make up the majority share of his damage, so leveling his Normal Attack Talent should be prioritized. Crown if possible. |
| Elemental Burst | 6+ | Medium Priority - Provides Sourcewater Droplets and burst damage. Good scaling but secondary to Normal Attack. |
| Elemental Skill | 6+ | Medium Priority - Generates Sourcewater Droplets and provides consistent damage. Equal priority with Burst. |
Leveling Recommendation: Normal Attack >= Character Level >> Burst = Skill. Max Normal Attack first > Level Burst and Skill to 8 for utility > Crown Normal Attack for maximum DPS.

Neuvillette Best Team Compositions
Neuvillette excels in hypercarry teams that center around maximizing his personal damage through buffs and elemental reactions.
1. Hypercarry Team
This is Neuvillette's premier team composition, designed to maximize his damage through stacked buffs and resistance shred.
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support | Healer / Shielder |
|---|---|---|---|
Neuvillette (5★) | Furina (5★) | Kazuha (5★) | Xilonen (5★) |
Neuvillette (5★) | Furina (5★) | Kazuha (5★) | Zhongli (5★) |
Neuvillette (5★) | Furina (5★) | Kazuha (5★) | Baizhu (5★) |
Neuvillette (5★) | Furina (5★) | Kazuha (5★) | Charlotte (4★) |
Team Synergy: This comp is basically double amp plus Furina engine. Neuvillette supplies massive, constant HP fluctuation while he beams, so Furina ramps Fanfare quickly. Kazuha handles Hydro Swirl/VV shred plus grouping so Neuvillette's beam hits cleanly, while Xilonen adds another layer of RES shred plus a healing safety net. Another variation sacrifices Xilonen's additional resistance shred for Zhongli's unbreakable shield and universal RES shred. The shield provides complete interruption immunity, making this the most comfortable team for players without C1.
2. Lunar-Charged Reaction Team
New team compositions leveraging Ineffa's Lunar Reaction mechanics to amplify Neuvillette's damage.
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support | Electro Enabler |
|---|---|---|---|
Neuvillette (5★) | Columbina (5★) | Kazuha (5★) | Ineffa (5★) |
Neuvillette (5★) | Furina (5★) | Sucrose (4★) | Ineffa (5★) |
Team Synergy: Columbina converts Electro-Charged reactions into Lunar-Charged for enhanced damage scaling with Max HP. Ineffa provides shielding and consistent Electro application for reactions. Kazuha provides VV shred and grouping. Another version replaces Kazuha and Columbina with Sucrose and Furina with Furina providing damage boost and Sucrose offering budget VV shred, EM sharing, and grouping via Swirl.

| C4 | Crown of Commiseration When Neuvillette is on the field and is healed, 1 Sourcewater Droplet will be generated. This effect can occur once every 4s. |
| C5 | Axiomatic Judgment Increases the Level of O Tides, I Have Returned by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C6 | Wrathful Recompense When using Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment, Neuvillette can absorb nearby Sourcewater Droplets in an AoE. Each absorbed Droplet will increase the duration of Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment by 1s. Additionally, when Equitable Judgment hits opponents, it will fire off 2 additional currents every 2s, each of which will deal 10% of Neuvillette's Max HP as Hydro DMG. DMG dealt this way will count as DMG dealt by Equitable Judgment. |
