Genshin Impact Neuvillette build and materials guide
Deliver judgment with the best Genshin Impact Neuvillette build and ensure that even the gods themselves won’t escape justice. Fontaine’s Chief Justice is not quite the simple man he professes to be and has immense power hidden up his frilled sleeves. This 5-Star Hydro unit wielding a catalyst is a strong damage dealer based around the manipulation of his own HP.
Neuvillette’s kit contains a special Charged Attack, which heals him up as you charge it up by generating Sourcewater Droplets and then consumes HP as you unleash a powerful beam of water.
His Elemental Skill, O Tears, I Shall Repay, summons an area-of-effect attack that deals Hydro damage based on Neuvillette’s Maximum HP. On a hit, three Sourcewater Droplets are created.
Neuvillette’s Elemental Burst, O Tides, I Have Returned, unleashed another area-of-effect Hydro attack with damage based on his Maximum HP. After two follow-up attacks, it generates a total of six Sourcewater Droplets.
Neuvillette tries to live up to the expectations the people of Fontaine have for him.

He’s got some helpful passive skills as well: Neuvillette’s Hydro Damage increases with his Maximum HP and Neuvillette gains a buff to the damage of his Charged Attack whenever an ally triggers an elemental reaction with Hydro, so you’ll want to play him in a varied composition.
Best Neuvillette weapons – Genshin Impact
Neuvillette’s signature weapon, Tome of the Eternal Flow, is naturally the tool best suited for him. Aside from boosting Critical Hit Damage and Maximum HP, this catalyst buffs the damage dealt by the wearer’s Charged Attack when HP is decreased or increased. Once three stacks of effect are reached, it’ll also restore Energy to the wielder.
This combination of effects will greatly increase the damage Neuvillette can deal.
Here are the best weapons for Neuvillette in Genshin Impact:
- Tome of the Eternal Flow (5-star catalyst)
- Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds (5-Star catalyst)
- Jadefall’s Splendor (5-Star catalyst)
- Sacrificial Jade (4-Star catalyst)
- Prototype Amber (4-Star catalyst)
Neuvillette's Charged Attack unleashes a powerful beam of water.

Best Neuvillette artifacts – Genshin Impact
Neuvillette benefits most from the Marechaussee Hunter set, as this equipment will increase his Normal and Charged Attack Damage and further boost his Critical Hit Rate whenever he gains or loses HP – since Neuvillette’s gameplay revolves around this anyway, this is a natural pick.
Viable, though clearly weaker, alternatives are the two sets boosting Hydro Damage, Nymph’s Dream and Heart of Depth.
You should get the following stat distribution on Neuvillette’s artifact set:
- Flower: HP (main stat), HP %, Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Elemental Mastery (secondary stats)
- Plume: Attack (main stat), HP %, Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Elemental Mastery (secondary stats)
- Sands: HP % (main stat), Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery, HP, Attack % (secondary stats)
- Goblet: Hydro Damage % (main stat), HP %, Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Elemental Mastery (secondary stats)
- Circlet: Critical Hit Damage or Critical Hit Rate (main stat), HP %, Critical Hit Damage or Critical Hit Rate, Elemental Mastery, Attack % (secondary stats)
Neuvillette's Elemental Burst features waves of watery explosions.

Best Neuvillette teams – Genshin Impact
Neuvillette prefers a colorful mix of support characters around him, which allows his passive skill to maximize the damage the team causes, making him quite versatile.
Neuvillette spends most of his time on the field, but is somewhat vulnerable to interruption due to the immobile nature of his Charged Attack. Shields and resistance buffs help out with this issue, making characters like Diona, Layla, Zhongli, Kirara, Dehya, and Baizhu excellent options as his defensive supports. Sub DPS characters like Yae Miko, Fischl, Lisa, or Beidou can create consistent Electro effects and act as batteries. You could even opt for Dori to additionally fill the healer slot. Finally, an Anemo character for crowd control, debuffing, and further reactions is a good option: Characters like Kazuha, Sucrose, Jean, and Venti can fill this slot.
Neuvillette can definitely run with another Hydro character like Mona or Kokomi as well, which buffs his Maximum HP due to the Hydro Resonance created this way. However, this comes at the cost of not using his passive skill to the extent of its potential.
Neuvillette is the main star of any team composition including him.

Neuvillette ascension materials – Genshin Impact

Lumitoile is another Fontaine-exclusive material and can be collected near bodies of water on beaches or on the walls of buildings once update 4.1 has rolled out. Fontemer Unihorns become available in the same update, being a material dropped by the Millenial Pearl Seahorses. The best way to earn more Mora in the game is to farm golden Ley Line Blossoms.
Most of the material needed for Neuvillette only becomes available with update 4.1.
