Neuvillette is a Hydro DMG dealer who deals damage mainly through his Charged Attacks.

His Charged Attack unleashes a surging torrent, dealing continuous AoE Hydro DMG to all opponents in a straight-line area in front of him. For the duration of this attack, Neuvillette can move freely and adjust the direction of his attack.

Neuvillette's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst create Sourcewater Droplets around him. When storing energy for his Charged Attack, he can absorb Sourcewater Droplets within a certain area in front, restoring his own HP while reducing the time required to fully charge his torrent.

This guide is based on the Community Character Builds by the Genshin Helper Team.

Skills Overview

Normal Attack: As Water Seeks Equilibrium

Normal Attack
With light flourishes, Neuvillette commands the tides to unleash a maximum of 3 attacks, dealing Hydro DMG.

Charged Attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina to attack opponents with a rupturing blast of water, dealing AoE Hydro DMG.

Plunging Attack
Gathering the might of Hydro, Neuvillette plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in his path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground.

Charged Attack Empowerment: Legal Evaluation
While charging up, Neuvillette will gather the power of water, forming it into a Seal of Arbitration. In this state, Neuvillette can move and change facing, and also absorb any Sourcewater Droplets in a certain AoE.
Every Sourcewater Droplet (from Elemental Skill and Burst) he absorbs will increase the formation speed of the Seal, and will heal Neuvillette.
When the charging is stopped, if the Symbol has yet to be formed, then a Charged Attack will be unleashed. If it has been formed, then a Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment will be unleashed.

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.

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
At certain intervals, when the Raging Waterfall descends, a Spiritbreath Thorn will descend that will pierce opponents, dealing Pneuma-aligned Hydro DMG.

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.

The stacks of Past Draconic Glories created by each kind of Elemental Reaction exist independently.
