Character Overview
Playstyles
On-Field DPS
Neuvillette is an on-field Hydro DPS who primarily deals damage through his enhanced Charged Attacks, which his Skill and Burst make more accessible. He can slot into a variety of teams as an on-field damage dealer, though his A1 Passive incentivizes using teammates of different Elements.
Talents
Level and Talent Priority
Normal Attack ≥ Character Level ≫ Burst = Skill
Neuvillette’s enhanced Charged Attacks make up the majority share of his damage, so leveling his Normal Attack Talent should be prioritized. His Skill and Burst contribute significantly less damage and are mainly used to generate Sourcewater Droplets, so they can be leveled afterwards. Since Neuvillette scales with HP, Level 90 is relevant to his damage.
Talent Overview
Normal Attack | As Water Seeks Equilibrium
Talent Description
Normal Attack
With light flourishes, Neuvillette commands the tides to unleash a maximum of 3 attacks, dealing Hydro DMG.
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 Droplet 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
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina to attack opponents with a rupturing blast of water, dealing AoE Hydro DMG.
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.
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.
Neuvillette’s Normal Attacks and regular Charged Attacks are largely unimportant compared to his Equitable Judgment Charged Attacks. These long-ranged enhanced Charged Attacks are his main source of damage, dealing continuous, AoE, HP-scaling damage to all enemies in range after an initial wind-up. They do not consume any Stamina, and if Neuvillette’s HP is above 50%, will continuously drain his HP over their duration.
Upon starting the Charged Attack, Neuvillette can absorb up to 3 nearby Sourcewater Droplets. If he does so, the initial 4s wind-up is reduced down to 1s, and the Droplets heal off the hefty HP drain from his CAs. As such, it is vital that he casts his Skill and Burst every rotation to generate the Sourcewater Droplets needed for all CAs.
While Neuvillette can absorb any Sourcewater Droplets, including those not generated by himself, he already generates sufficient Droplets on his own. Therefore, it is currently not recommended to select teammates for the sole purpose of generating additional Droplets.
Elemental Skill | O Tears, I Shall Repay
Talent Description
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.
Neuvillette’s Skill deals AoE Hydro damage to opponents in front of him and creates 3 Sourcewater Droplets. It’s primarily used to generate both Energy and Sourcewater Droplets, and does not make up a significant portion of his damage.
This Skill summons a Spiritbreath Thorn that deals Pneuma-aligned Hydro damage, with a 10s cooldown. This damage can be used to weaken Ousia-aligned enemies.
Elemental Burst | O Tides, I Have Returned
Talent Description
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.
Neuvillette’s Burst deals AoE Hydro damage and, after a short interval, deals an additional 2 instances of damage and generates 6 Sourcewater Droplets. Similarly to his Skill, Neuvillette’s Burst makes up a small portion of his damage; however, the amount of Sourcewater Droplets it generates makes it mandatory in the vast majority of his rotations.
Ascension 1 Passive | Heir to the Ancient Sea’s Authority
Talent Description
When a party member triggers a Vaporize, Frozen, Electro-Charged, 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.
The stacks of Past Draconic Glories created by each kind of Elemental Reaction exist independently.
A Base DMG Multiplier for Neuvillette’s Charged Attacks that increases their damage multiplicatively for every unique Hydro reaction that is triggered, up to 3 stacks. This translates to increased damage for each non-Hydro teammate of a unique Element.
Although the damage difference between different numbers of stacks is significant, it’s not necessarily worth building his teams around maximizing the number of stacks.
Ascension 4 Passive | Discipline of the Supreme Arbitration
Talent Description
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.
An appreciated but minor increase to Neuvillette’s damage. Since absorbed Sourcewater Droplets only heal Neuvillette at the beginning of his CA, he will gradually lose this Hydro DMG Bonus over the course of the attack without external healing.
Constellations
Calcs for Constellation DPS increases can be found here (last updated for Version 4.5).
Constellation 1 | Venerable Institution
When Neuvillette takes the field, he will obtain 1 stack of Past Draconic Glories from the Passive Talent “Heir to the Ancient Sea’s Authority.” You must first unlock the Passive Talent “Heir to the Ancient Sea’s Authority.”
Additionally, his interruption resistance will be increased while using the Charged Attack Empowerment: Legal Evaluation and the Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment.
Neuvillette’s C1 is both a respectable DPS increase and a valuable QoL improvement. It lets him gain an A1 stack by simply taking the field, giving him increased flexibility as he can maximize the passive’s buff in teams with two characters of the same Element. His C1 also increases Neuvillette’s resistance to interruption when casting his enhanced Charged Attacks, which lets his teams run a buffer or off-field damage dealer in place of a defensive teammate.
However, while Neuvillette’s C1 can be a respectable improvement to both DPS and QoL, its value will vary depending on Neuvillette’s team. If his A1 Passive is already maximized, it may not be a damage increase, and when already paired with units who provide crowd control or interruption resistance, its resistance to interruption becomes unnecessary.
Constellation 2 | Juridical Exhortation
The Passive Talent “Heir to the Ancient Sea’s Authority” will be enhanced: Each stack of Past Draconic Glories will increase the CRIT DMG of Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment by 14%. The maximum increase that can be achieved this way is 42%.
You must first unlock the Passive Talent “Heir to the Ancient Sea’s Authority.”
A relatively straightforward damage increase, adding a 14% CRIT DMG bonus for Neuvillette’s enhanced CAs per stack of his A1. This also increases the value of C1’s additional A1 stack.
Constellation 3 | Ancient Postulation
Increases the Level of Normal Attack: As Water Seeks Equilibrium by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
A decent damage increase, increasing the levels of Neuvillette’s most important Talent.
Constellation 4 | 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.
Obtaining this Constellation without going to C6 is not recommended, as pre-C6 Neuvillette is unable to take advantage of the additional Sourcewater Droplets.
Constellation 5 | Axiomatic Judgment
Increases the Level of O Tides, I Have Returned by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
A minor damage increase, as Neuvillette’s Burst only makes up a small portion of his total damage.
Constellation 6 | 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.
Neuvillette’s C6 allows him to extend his Charged Attack’s duration by 1s by absorbing nearby Sourcewater Droplets once his Charged Attack nears its end. This makes his C4 useful as the additional Droplets allow him to extend his CA’s duration by 2–3s total. Said Charged Attacks will now also deal 2 additional instances of damage every 2s for a further increase in DPS.
It’s hard to evaluate the damage gain from this Constellation as it forces changes in rotation that can cause extensions or worsen buff uptime. Teams with characters whose abilities or buffs have short durations (e.g., Kazuha) will fare worse than teams with longer ability durations (e.g., Zhongli and Furina).
However, the additional Charged Attack currents alone are already an improvement to Neuvillette’s DPS, and C6 Neuvillette does enough damage on his own that it is almost always worth adjusting his rotations to take advantage of the increase in Charged Attack duration.
Rotations
C = Charged Attack
E = Elemental Skill
Q = Elemental Burst
Neuvillette can perform 2–4 Charged Attacks per rotation. Here are Neuvillette’s most common rotation variations.
| 3 Charged Attacks | Easiest for managing buff and ability uptime. The exact combo is mostly unimpactful, but it is commonly a variation of Q > Team > E 2[C] > Team > E C |
| 4 Charged Attacks | Adds an extra CA to the rotation. Recommended for teams where Neuvillette deals the vast majority of the damage. Usually a variation of E > Team > C E C Q > Team > 2[C]. |
| 2 Charged Attacks | Very rarely used. |
Artifacts
ER Requirements
It is absolutely vital that Neuvillette has enough ER to Burst every rotation so that he has enough Sourcewater Droplets to use 3-4 Charged Attacks. Rotations with 2 CAs allow him to Burst every other rotation, though they are extremely rare.
 R5 Prototype Amber |  R1 Eternal Flow |  Other Weapons | |
| Double Hydro With Furina | 100–105% | 100–115% | 110–125% |
| Double Electro With Fischl | 100–105% | 100–110% | 120–140% |
| Fischl Solo Electro | 100–115% | 100–120% | 130–150% |
| Other Compositions | 100–125% | 100–130% | 140–160% |
Use the Energy Recharge Calculator to determine exact requirements for your team and rotation.
Artifact Stats
 Sands |  Goblet |  Circlet |
| HP% | Hydro DMG Bonus or HP% | CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG or HP% |
Stat Priority: ER% (until requirement) > CRIT = HP% > Flat HP
While HP% | Hydro DMG% | CRIT is very often the best choice of main stats, builds with an HP% Goblet, HP% Circlet, or even both are still viable as the optimal pick leads by a small margin. With Tome of the Eternal Flow, an HP% Goblet can also be equal to, or marginally better than a Hydro DMG% Goblet depending on team buffs. Note that suboptimal HP% main stats need correspondingly high-quality substats to be competitive; additionally, Triple HP% main stats will perform worse regardless of substats.
Artifact Sets
Calcs for artifact set comparisons can be found here (last updated for Version 5.1).
 4pc Marechaussee Hunter | Marechaussee’s Charged Attack DMG% and hefty CRIT Rate make it Neuvillette’s BiS by a sizable margin. Furthermore, stacks on the 4-piece effect are obtained quickly due to the HP drain from Neuvillette’s Charged Attack. It is highly recommended to farm for this set. |
 4pc Heart of Depth | Provides Hydro DMG% and Charged Attack DMG%. Worse than Marechaussee. |
 2pc Mixed Sets | 2pc Bonuses: NA and CA DMG%, Hydro DMG%, HP% Any of these 2-piece combinations will perform similarly to 4pc Heart of Depth; pick whichever has the better substats. |
| Other 4pc Sets | 4pc Retracing Bolide, 4pc Wanderer’s Troupe, 4pc Nymph’s Dream These all perform similarly to Heart of Depth. Note that 4-piece Bolide requires a high-uptime shielder. |
Weapons
Calcs for weapon comparisons can be found here (last updated for Version 5.1).
Tome of the Eternal Flow | Neuvillette’s signature weapon and his BiS, Tome of the Eternal Flow offers a hefty amount of CRIT DMG as well as some HP% and CA DMG% Additionally, it provides Energy regeneration that negates the need for ER% in most scenarios. Tome performs significantly better than all other weapons, with the exception of Sacrificial Jade. |
 Sacrificial Jade | Obtained from the Battle Pass, it is Neuvillette’s second-best weapon. It offers CRIT Rate and HP%, but its passive restricts field time to a maximum of 10s at a time. Even at R1, Sacrificial Jade is a respectable enough improvement over its alternatives that it may be a worthwhile purchase. R5 Sacrificial Jade is the only weapon that even comes close to R1 Tome and can even rival it in some Vaporize and Furina Hypercarry teams. |
 Recommended 5-Star Options | Surf’s Up, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, Cashflow Supervision CRIT stat sticks that perform slightly better than Prototype Amber — with the exception of Surf’s Up, which is Neuvillette’s third-best weapon and on par with a similarly refined Sacrificial Jade. None are worth pulling specifically for Neuvillette, but they can be used if already available. |
 Ash-Graven Drinking Horn | An event weapon from Version 5.0. Ash-Graven is Neuvillette’s best free weapon at low ER requirements (~120% or lower). It offers the same HP% secondary stat as Prototype Amber, but its passive offers damage rather than Energy regeneration. Every 15s, Neuvillette’s attack will trigger one instance of AoE damage. The hit scales with his HP, making it surprisingly decent. |
Prototype Amber | Prototype Amber provides plenty of HP% and heals, and is Neuvillette’s best free weapon at moderate or high ER requirements (~125% or higher). It performs better the more Neuvillette can take advantage of the Energy provided by its passive, but is limited by his teams’ tendency to run an abundance of Favonius weapons. Nonetheless, at higher ER requirements, it pulls ahead of several of the above weapons (e.g., Ash-Graven, Lost Prayer). Although the small and infrequent healing from Prototype’s passive is largely useless to Neuvillette himself, it helps stack Fanfare with Furina. It can also be beneficial for Neuvillette’s teammates, as his teams often lack healers. |
 Other 5-Star Options | Jadefall Splendor, Everlasting Moonglow, Kagura’s Verity Stat sticks that all perform similarly. These weapons provide Neuvillette with some CRIT or HP% and small buffs from their passives, but they are generally worse than Prototype Amber. |

Teambuilding
- As an on-field Hydro character with solid personal damage, Neuvillette has access to a wide variety of teams and playstyles.
- While Neuvillette’s self-sustain lets him forgo a healer in most teams, he is susceptible to getting knocked over while casting his Charged Attacks and often wants a teammate who can provide some interruption resistance.
- It is recommended to do 3 or 4 Charged Attacks per rotation in almost all teams. Often he will do 2 Charged Attacks when first taking the field before swapping out, and later swap back in to do 1–2 more.
Hypercarry
Hypercarry Neuvillette teams center around buffing Neuvillette’s personal damage. These teams scale well with Constellations and investment into Neuvillette, and their damage potential has further increased with the release of Furina. However, players without Furina can still run an off-field DPS unit instead.
Apart from Furina, Kazuha and Xilonen are also recommended due to their ability to not only shred Hydro RES, but also provide appreciated DMG% buffs. An offensive teammate can contribute additional buffs and their own personal damage, and a defensive teammate can provide appreciated interruption resistance and survivability. Ideally, both should accommodate Neuvillette’s field time requirements.
Having teammates who can stack Neuvillette’s A1 Passive is preferable for maximizing DPS, though not required. His C1 makes this less of a concern, and additionally lets the defensive teammate be swapped out for a more offensive unit.
Notable Teammates
 Furina | Furina is one of the premier buffers available for Neuvillette. She brings a hefty DMG Bonus and respectable personal damage. Neuvillette’s HP fluctuations easily stack her Fanfare on his own, but a healer can bring added comfort. |
 Xilonen | Another excellent buffer, Xilonen provides Hydro RES Shred that is slightly lower but longer duration than 4pc VV, and does not need to be refreshed in multi-wave content. She also activates the full 4pc Scroll effect for a large DMG Bonus buff, and her healing stacks Fanfare in Furina teams. |
 Kazuha | The best Anemo support for hypercarry Neuvillette, and one of his best buffers overall. Kazuha is highly recommended thanks to his DMG Bonus, the RES Shred from 4pc VV, and grouping capabilities. |
Other Anemo Units With 4pc Viridescent Venerer
 Venti, Sucrose, Lynette, Lan Yan, Heizou | If Kazuha is unavailable, other Anemo units can serve as alternatives. Lan Yan offers a shield but requires Sacrificial Fragments or C6 for good uptime. Lynette’s Taunt helps prevent interruption and she stacks some Fanfare. C6 Sucrose offers DMG%, while Venti provides some flat Energy and is a good option in multi-wave content that requires constant grouping. |
 Jean, Sayu, Xianyun | Xianyun, Jean and Sayu become viable options when running Furina, though they perform worse than Kazuha. In addition to 4pc VV Shred, their healing stack Fanfare faster, offer gameplay comfort, and increase Furina’s personal damage. |
Offensive Flex Units / Buffers
 Mavuika | Mavuika deals off-field damage with her Skill, can hold 4pc Scroll for 40% DMG Bonus, and provides a massive nuke via her Burst. She is a powerful offensive flex for Neuvillette’s teams, albeit at the price of being unable to run as an on-field DPS in her own team — often the more optimal choice. |
 Ororon | Ororon deals good personal damage and is able to activate the full 4pc Scroll effect to buff the team with 40% Hydro and Electro DMG Bonus. His Burst Taunt also provides some QoL, and he can battery with Favonius Warbow and a modest Energy refund. |
 Fischl | Fischl offers sizable personal damage and an unmatched rate of Electro application entirely from off-field. Her battery capabilities also lower the team’s ER requirements. However, her Electro application can make Swirl setups annoying in Solo Hydro teams. |
  Kachina, Pyro Traveler | Kachina and Pyro Traveler can both activate the full 4pc Scroll effect to provide a large DMG Bonus for Neuvillette, making them great supports. Pyro Traveler also provides an extra 6% DMG Bonus with their C1, but only unlocks near the end of the Natlan Archon Quest. Kachina is given to all players for free at the beginning of the Archon Quest. |
 Lisa | Lisa is a highly accessible buffer who offers valuable DEF Shred. She can either hold Prototype Amber to stack Fanfare and forgo her Hold Skill, or wield Hakushin Ring for a teamwide Hydro DMG Bonus. |
 Childe | Childe’s Utility Passive increases his party members’ NA Talent level by 1 and is one of the few impactful buffs available to Neuvillette. He also enables Hydro Resonance for +25% HP and can help set up Hydro Swirls for VV Shred and other buffs. Support Childe opts for more unconventional builds, such as equipping Favonius Bow, if it benefits Neuvillette. |
  Chiori, Albedo | Chiori and Albedo function similarly; both offer off-field damage with low field time. Chiori deals more damage than Albedo, while Albedo can compensate by buffing Neuvillette with 4pc Archaic and Favonius Sword. |
 Yae Miko | Similarly to Fischl, Yae Miko provides respectable personal damage from off-field, swapping in to deploy her totems and then back out. Due to her high ER requirements, she may opt to Burst every other rotation or forgo Bursting entirely. |
 Yelan | Neuvillette is unable to make much use of Yelan’s Burst, as it only triggers on Normal Attacks. However, due to the limited amount of HP buffs available, the +25% HP from Hydro Resonance, Yelan’s ramping DMG% buff, and extra Hydro Particles still makes her a decent option. |
Defensive Flex Units
 Citlali | Citlali consolidates powerful buffing with shielding. She both activates the full 4pc Scroll effect for 40% DMG Bonus and provides 20% Hydro RES Shred with her A1. Her shield has the same uptime as Zhongli’s, but with far lower scaling. |
 Zhongli | Zhongli provides the same Hydro RES Shred as Citlali, but can only activate the first 4pc Scroll stack. Instead, he provides unmatched comfort with a far stronger shield. He can hold 4pc Archaic Petra for a larger DMG% buff, but it is difficult to activate in practice. |
   Baizhu, Charlotte, Mika | Options in Furina teams. Baizhu’s and Charlotte’s healing stacks Fanfare, and Baizhu’s pseudo-shields offer interruption resistance, though their strength and uptime may be lacking. Mika is another option with similar healing. |
  Layla, Kirara | Layla offers a strong shield and a minor buff to Neuvillette’s Charged Attacks with her C4, while Kirara provides 12% DMG Bonus at C6. |

Vaporize
Neuvillette can take advantage of Forward Vape to amplify his already sizable personal damage, and his best Forward Vaporize teams even perform on par with his premier Hypercarry teams at C0. In addition to an off-field Pyro applier, bringing Nahida or an Anemo unit such as Kazuha can be beneficial to ensure Pyro aura via Burning or Pyro Absorption, respectively.
Neuvillette can also play in Reverse Vaporize, where he applies Hydro to let Xiangling Vaporize her Pyronado hits. However, this is both a significantly lower DPS playstyle for Neuvillette and a subpar pairing for Reverse Vaporize Xiangling; thus, it will not be covered here.
Notable Teammates
Pyro Units
 Xiangling | Xiangling offers unmatched Pyro application in Forward Vape, and can provide buffs with supportive artifact sets. Neuvillette’s long rotations and Favonius Lance also keep her ER requirements reasonable even as Solo Pyro. Since Xiangling’s Burst forces Neuvillette to play in melee range, interruption resistance becomes valuable. |
  Dehya, Mavuika | Dehya offers some interruption resistance and Pyro application, and Mavuika offers a bit more Pyro application, the full 4pc Scroll buff, and her Burst’s DMG% buff. Both can help enable Vaporize but are better played as flex picks, as they require both a Dendro unit like Nahida and an Anemo unit to absorb Pyro. |
Flex Units
 Xilonen | Xilonen provides hassle-free and reliable Hydro RES Shred that does not need to be refreshed in multi-wave, and is reliable even where Anemo units would struggle. She also activates the full 4pc Scroll effect for a large DMG Bonus, and her healing stacks Fanfare in Furina teams. |
 Zhongli, Citlali | Shielder options that also provide buffs. Both shred Hydro RES without requiring Swirl setups, and can equip 4pc Scroll (if Hydro reactions are possible). Zhongli only activates the first 4pc Scroll stack, but offers a stronger shield, while Citlali trades shield strength for the full 4pc Scroll buff. |
  Nahida, Emilie | When paired with a Pyro unit, Nahida’s 1.5U Dendro application lets her sustain Burning for extra Vaporize consistency. Her Burst also provides Neuvillette with an EM buff. Emilie lacks buffs, but instead provides impressive off-field damage, and also enables Burning. Her slower Dendro application makes her less consistent than Nahida, but also makes it easier to stack Neuvillette’s A1 after the first rotation. |
Kazuha, Sucrose, Lynette | Kazuha provides DMG% and RES Shred to maximize Neuvillette’s damage; he can also absorb Pyro to help with Elemental application. Sucrose trades DMG% for a hefty EM buff, but her performance is highly variable due to her Burst’s inconsistent absorption mechanics. For players without an available Kazuha and who don’t want to reset with Sucrose, Lynette is a recommended replacement thanks to her ability to absorb and apply Pyro, and her Burst’s Taunt. |
  Kachina, Pyro Traveler | Accessible 4pc Scroll holders for players without an available Xilonen. Pyro Traveler also provides 6% DMG Bonus at C1 but only unlocks after the Natlan Archon Quest, while Kachina is given for free after the intro. |
 Furina | Although Furina can interfere with Neuvillette’s Vaporize, her sizable DMG Bonus and personal damage can make up for it. Neuvillette’s HP fluctuations easily stack her Fanfare, but a healer can bring added comfort. |
 Childe | Childe’s Utility Passive increases his party members’ NA Talent Level by 1 and is one of the few impactful buffs available to Neuvillette. He also enables Hydro Resonance for +25% HP and can help set up Hydro Swirls for VV Shred and other buffs. |
Chiori, Albedo | Chiori and Albedo both deal damage from off-field without hindering Vaporize. Chiori deals more damage than Albedo, while Albedo compensates by buffing Neuvillette with 4pc Archaic and his Burst’s EM buff. |
 Yelan | Neuvillette is unable to make much use of Yelan’s Burst, as it only triggers on Normal Attacks. However, due to the limited amount of HP buffs available, the +25% HP from Hydro Resonance still makes her a viable option. Neuvillette also appreciates Yelan’s ramping DMG% buff and battery capabilities. |

Electro-Charged
Together with Fischl or Ororon, Neuvillette can act as an on-field driver in an Electro-Charged team. His enhanced Charged Attacks are able to trigger abilities such as Beidou’s Burst, and the multi-target scenarios in which Electro-Charged teams thrive let him take advantage of his AoE damage.
Although running Ororon or Fischl is strongly recommended, the team is otherwise flexible. It can include an Anemo unit to shred enemy RES and help stack Neuvillette’s A1, another off-field Electro damage dealer, or a Hydro unit for Hydro Resonance and buffing.
Note that despite being referred to as Electro-Charged teams, these teams are not focused around the reaction’s damage, and thus Neuvillette should not build EM.
Notable Teammates
Fischl is strongly recommended due to her batterying capabilities and off-field damage.
Electro Units
 Ororon | Ororon is a strong buffer for Neuvillette thanks to his ability to activate the full 4pc Scroll effect for 40% Hydro DMG Bonus. His Burst Taunt provides some QoL, and he can battery with Favonius Warbow and a modest Energy refund. He also deals decent personal damage, especially in AoE. |
Fischl | Fischl’s sizable personal damage, batterying capabilities, and unmatched rate of off-field Electro application, make her a recommended pick for this playstyle. |
 Yae Miko | Similarly to Fischl, Yae Miko provides respectable personal damage from off-field, swapping in to deploy her totems and then back out. While she often opts to Burst every other rotation due to her high-cost Burst, when paired with Fischl her ER requirements can be low enough to make Bursting every rotation worth it. |
 Beidou | Beidou offers strong off-field Electro damage that excels in multi-target scenarios and being paired with Fischl alleviates her ER requirements. Since her Burst is triggered by Charged Attacks, Neuvillette is an excellent driver for her. The increased interruption resistance is also a nice QoL. |
| Lisa | Lisa is a highly accessible buffer, offering valuable DEF Shred. She can either hold Prototype Amber to increase Fanfare or wield Hakushin Ring. Double Electro teams lower her ER requirements. |
Anemo Units
 Kazuha | Kazuha offers an Elemental DMG% buff and can hold 4pc VV to shred enemy Hydro and Electro RES to maximize the team’s damage output. His grouping is also a nice QoL, especially in the AoE scenarios Electro-Charged teams favor. |
Lan Yan, Lynette, Venti, Sucrose | Any Anemo unit can hold 4pc VV for Hydro and Electro RES Shred. Lan Yan provides a shield though she needs Sacrificial Fragments or C6 for sufficient uptime, while Lynette provides a moderate ATK% buff and some defensive utility with her Taunt. Sucrose offers DMG% at C6 but struggles to consistently buff Hydro DMG. Venti provides unmatched grouping in AoE and Energy. |
Jean, Sayu, Xianyun | Xianyun, Jean and Sayu are options in Furina teams, though they perform worse than Kazuha. In addition to 4pc VV Shred, their healing stacks Fanfare faster, offers comfort, and increases Furina’s personal damage. |
Hydro Units
Furina | Furina brings respectable personal damage and a hefty DMG Bonus. Neuvillette’s HP fluctuations easily stack her Fanfare on his own, but a healer can bring added comfort. |
Yelan | Neuvillette is unable to make much use of Yelan’s Burst, as it only triggers on Normal Attacks. However, with the limited amount of HP buffs available, the +25% HP from Hydro Resonance, Yelan’s ramping DMG% buff, and extra Hydro Particles still make her a decent option. |
Flex Units
 Xilonen | Xilonen offers hassle-free Hydro and Electro RES Shred, which has slightly longer uptime than 4pc VV and also does not need to be refreshed in multi-wave. She also provides a large DMG Bonus with 4pc Scroll to further buff Neuvillette. |
Kachina | Kachina also activates 4pc Scroll’s full buff and can serve as a free alternative to Xilonen, buffing both the team’s Hydro and Electro units. |
 Zhongli, Citlali | Zhongli’s long-lasting shield and RES Shred make him an excellent comfort option in teams that appreciate resistance to interruption. Citlali offers a weaker shield, but instead buffs with the full 4pc Scroll effect and provides the same Hydro RES Shred. |
Chiori, Albedo | Chiori and Albedo function similarly; both offer off-field damage with low field time. Chiori deals more damage than Albedo, while Albedo can compensate by buffing Neuvillette with 4pc Archaic and Favonius Sword. |

1First rotation only
Hyperbloom
Neuvillette can act as an on-field Hydro applier in Hyperbloom teams, generating Dendro Cores for an Electro unit to trigger Hyperbloom. Since he does not deal reaction damage, Neuvillette keeps his regular build and contributes respectable personal damage instead. His AoE Charged Attacks also help balance out the team’s otherwise more single-target nature.
As Neuvillette lacks off-field Hydro application, he should be played with Dendro and Electro units who can apply their Elements from off-field. Note that while there may be some downtime in Hydro application, this is minor and does not make a second Hydro unit necessary.
Notable Teammates
Dendro Units
 Nahida | Nahida provides unmatched off-field Dendro application through her Skill, and its long duration means she won’t interfere with Neuvillette’s field time requirements. It’s not recommended to Burst with her as Neuvillette is unable to take advantage of its EM buff. |
 Dendro Traveler | Available to all players, Dendro Traveler offers off-field Dendro application with high uptime, and their Burst’s large AoE provides good coverage. However, since their Dendro application is tied to their high-cost Burst, they struggle with high ER requirements as a solo Dendro unit. |
 Collei | Collei is another accessible option, and provides mobile off-field Dendro application that can be increased by Sacrificial Bow. Her ER requirements are also fairly manageable in solo Dendro teams. However, the shorter durations of her Skill and Burst may feel clunky in some teams, and their range limits Neuvillette. |
Electro Units
 Raiden | Raiden is an excellent off-field Hyperbloom trigger with a long duration on her Skill and low field time requirements. In addition, her Skill offers an Elemental Burst DMG Bonus for her teammates. Since her Skill can be triggered from a distance, it lets Neuvillette take full advantage of his range. |
 Kuki Shinobu | Similarly to Raiden, Shinobu is an off-field Hyperbloom trigger. Her Skill offers off-field healing and Electro application, but its limited duration means she will have to swap in to refresh at least once per rotation. Its limited AoE also restricts Neuvillette’s range. |
Flex Units
Furina | Furina does not buff Hyperbloom damage, but her hefty DMG Bonus is still very valuable for Neuvillette’s damage. She also provides her own respectable personal damage and helpful Hydro application. Neuvillette’s HP fluctuations easily stack her Fanfare. |
 Xilonen | Xilonen offers hassle-free Hydro RES Shred, which has slightly longer uptime than 4pc VV and does not need to be refreshed in multi-wave. She also provides a large DMG Bonus with 4pc Scroll as long as she can trigger Hydro Crystallize once per rotation. |
Zhongli, Citlali | Zhongli’s long-lasting shield and RES Shred make him an excellent comfort option in teams that appreciate resistance to interruption. Citlali offers a weaker shield, but instead buffs with the full 4pc Scroll effect and provides the same Hydro RES Shred. |
 Kachina | Kachina is another Natlan support that can activate 4pc Scroll’s full buff, and can serve as a free alternative to Xilonen as long as Hydro Scroll is possible. |
  Layla, Kirara | Layla or Kirara can slot in to provide defensive utility for players who need it. However, Kirara will not provide an A1 stack since you are already running Dendro; thus, Layla is usually a better option. Layla also offers a minor buff to Neuvillette’s Charged Attacks with her C4, while Kirara offers 12% DMG Bonus with her C6. |
 Fischl, Yae Miko | Fischl and Yae Miko are both off-field damage dealers who contribute significant DPS while triggering few Hyperblooms. Fischl has the additional benefit of lowering the team’s overall ER requirements. |
 Dehya, Pyro Traveler | Dehya and Pyro Traveler both apply Pyro slowly enough to trigger Burgeon without interfering with Dendro Core production, and can slot into Neuvillette’s Hyperbloom teams as flex picks. Pyro Traveler can also buff Neuvillette with the full 4pc Scroll DMG Bonus and their C1’s 6% DMG Bonus, while Dehya trades buffs for interruption resistance. |
Lisa | Lisa can slot in to buff Neuvillette’s damage without stealing too many Hyperblooms. She offers valuable DEF Shred and can hold Hakushin Ring or Favonius Codex. |
Yelan | Neuvillette is unable to make much use of Yelan’s Burst, as it only triggers on Normal Attacks. However, due to the limited amount of HP buffs available, the +25% HP from Hydro Resonance combined with Yelan’s ramping DMG% buff and extra Hydro Particles still makes her a viable option. |
Example Teams

Sample Rotation
Raiden E > Nahida E Q > Kirara shEQ > Neuvillette (N1) E C Q C > Kirara shE > Neuvillette E 2[C]
A more affordable alternative that comes with several caveats. The team’s short Skill durations can feel clunky, and Collei’s limited range forces Neuvillette close to enemies.
Sample Rotation
Neuvillette E > Traveler EQ > Shinobu E > Collei Q E > Neuvillette C E Q C > Traveler E > Shinobu E > Collei Q E > Neuvillette 2[C]
Nilou Bloom
Nilou Bloom remains a strong team that excels in multi-target scenarios, and Neuvillette’s AoE Charged Attacks let him slot right in. Ideally, he should be paired with two Dendro units, one of whom will be responsible for the majority of the team’s Dendro application. Due to Bountiful Cores’ self-damage, players may need to run a dedicated healer or shielder as the second Dendro unit, as Neuvillette’s own healing may not be able to keep up during his extended field time.
While EM becomes a more valuable stat to have in Nilou Bloom teams, Neuvillette’s build does not change — any EM from substats is merely an added bonus.
Note that while Neuvillette’s lack of off-field presence is a non-issue in Double Hydro–Double Dendro teams, he should not be used in Triple Hydro teams as they require an on-field Dendro unit.
Notable Teammates
Mandatory Units
 Nilou | Nilou is a requirement for the Bountiful Bloom playstyle. It’s not recommended to use non-Nilou Bloom teams. |
Core Dendro Units
Nahida | Nahida’s Skill provides unmatched off-field Dendro application and its pseudo-grouping is appreciated in Bloom teams. Its long duration also frees up field time for her teammates. In Nilou Bloom teams, Neuvillette can take full advantage of Nahida’s 250 EM buff, and external EM buffs have increased value since he does not build EM himself. |
Dendro Traveler | Dendro Traveler is available to all players, and offers off-field Dendro application with high uptime and a large AoE. Having a second Dendro teammate also helps alleviate their high ER requirements. |
Collei | Collei is another accessible option, with mobile off-field Dendro application that can be increased with Sacrificial Bow. Having another Dendro teammate helps prevent downtime in Dendro application; however, her Burst and Skill’s short range still limit Neuvillette’s mobility. |
Secondary Dendro Units
Baizhu | Baizhu offers strong, party-wide healing and his Burst’s small shields provide appreciated interruption resistance, in addition to a modest Bloom DMG Bonus. His lacking Elemental application also becomes a non-issue when played alongside one of the above Dendro units. |
Kirara | Kirara offers a flexible shield that absorbs Dendro damage with 250% effectiveness, with the option to stack it for extra survivability. While she does not offer healing, having a shield is a nice QoL improvement for Neuvillette. |
 Yaoyao | Yaoyao provides healing for the on-field unit through her Skill and access to emergency party-wide healing through her Burst. While she does not offer any interruption resistance, she trades this for minor off-field Dendro application. |
 Other Dendro | Nahida, Dendro Traveler, and Collei are all solid options as second Dendro if survivability is not a concern. |

Freeze
Freeze teams take advantage of Neuvillette’s AoE Hydro application, which makes him more than able to maintain Freeze when paired with one or more Cryo units. His strong personal damage makes him a more offensive alternative to the commonly used Hydro appliers, and the crowd control from Freeze can allow players to run Neuvillette without a shielder even at C0. Additionally, while “traditional” Freeze teams are held back by unfreezable enemies, this is far less of an issue for Neuvillette: he neither runs 4pc Blizzard Strayer nor has any issues dealing with mobile enemies.
Instead, Neuvillette’s Freeze teams are limited by a massive performance gap between his premium teammates and other more accessible options. While his teams with Escoffier, Furina or Citlali perform on par with his Hypercarry teams (or even outperform in single-target and with C0 Neuvillette, if using all three), other compositions trail far behind.
Notable Teammates
Cryo Units
 Escoffier | The backbone of Neuvillette’s premium Freeze teams; Escoffier offers a massive 55% Cryo and Hydro RES Shred, deals high personal damage, and provides healing to help stack Fanfare with Furina. This lets her compensate for C0 Neuvillette only getting one A1 stack due to running only Hydro and Cryo teammates. Even with C1 Neuvillette, his strongest Escoffier teams still perform on par with his 3-stack teams. |
 Skirk | Skirk can slot into Neuvillette’s pure Hydro–Cryo teams as a powerful quickswap DPS. She swaps in to use her Burst nuke in between Neuvillette’s field times, and even deals similar damage to Neuvillette himself. The only downside is playing Skirk as an on-field DPS in her own team is often the more optimal choice. |
 Citlali | Citlali offers off-field Cryo application and buffs with her Hydro RES Shred and 4pc Scroll’s full DMG Bonus. She also provides a shield, which can be helpful to prevent interruption as Neuvillette’s teams have limited Freeze uptime. |
  Charlotte, Mika | Charlotte is a great pick for Freeze teams with Furina. Her strong healing helps stack Furina’s Fanfare, and both her Skill and Burst offer off-field Cryo application. Mika is another Cryo healer alternative who performs similarly. |
 Shenhe | Shenhe is the premier Cryo buffer, offering Cryo DMG Bonus, Cryo RES Shred, and her Icy Quill effect. While she primarily buffs her Cryo teammates, her Hold Skill also provides a Charged Attack DMG Bonus for Neuvillette himself. She is especially recommended in teams with Escoffier where her Cryo buffs are taken full advantage of. |
 Rosaria | Rosaria’s Burst lets her deal respectable personal damage from off-field, while her Skill’s particle generation lets her battery the team. She also offers a CRIT Rate buff through her A4. While Neuvillette himself does not benefit from 4pc Noblesse, Rosaria can still hold it to buff other teammates. |
 Ganyu | By forgoing her Charged Attacks and focusing on her Burst, Ganyu can deal damage and apply Cryo entirely from off-field. She also offers some minor defensive utility with her Skill’s Taunt, and increases the damage of Cryo teammates by providing a 20% Cryo DMG Bonus through her A4. |
 Diona, Layla | Diona and Layla can both slot in to provide Cryo Resonance and defensive utility for players who need it. Layla offers a strong shield and higher personal damage, with her C4 offering a minor buff to Neuvillette’s Charged Attacks. Diona trades damage for extra survivability with both healing and a decent shield. |
Anemo Units
Kazuha | Kazuha can both hold 4pc VV to shred Hydro and Cryo RES and provide a large Hydro and Cryo DMG Bonus with his A4. His Skill also provides appreciated on-demand grouping, and absorbing Cryo with his Burst helps increase Freeze uptime for improved CC. |
Venti, Sucrose, Lynette, Lan Yan | Any Anemo unit can hold 4pc VV for Hydro and Cryo RES Shred. Lan Yan provides a shield though she needs Sacrificial Fragments or C6 for sufficient uptime, while Lynette provides a moderate ATK% buff and some defensive utility with her Taunt. Sucrose offers DMG% at C6 but can struggle to consistently buff Hydro DMG. Venti provides unmatched grouping in AoE and Energy. |
Jean, Sayu, Xianyun | Xianyun, Jean and Sayu are options in Furina teams, though they perform worse than Kazuha. In addition to 4pc VV Shred, their healing stacks Fanfare faster, offers gameplay comfort, and increases Furina’s personal damage. |
Flex Units
Xilonen, Kachina | Xilonen offers hassle-free Hydro and Cryo RES Shred, which has slightly longer uptime than 4pc VV and does not need to be refreshed in multi-wave. She also provides a large DMG Bonus with 4pc Scroll to further buff Neuvillette. Kachina is a solid free alternative to her; she lacks the RES Shred but can still activate the full 4pc Scroll buff. |
Furina | Furina offers a hefty DMG Bonus and respectable personal damage. Her teams sacrifice Freeze uptime for higher damage ceilings. Neuvillette can easily stack her Fanfare with his HP fluctuations, but a healer can bring added comfort. |
Zhongli | Zhongli’s long-lasting shield is less needed against enemies that can be Frozen, but his RES Shred still makes him a solid comfort pick for players who appreciate resistance to interruption and extra survivability. Note that his pillar can Shatter Frozen enemies. |
  Yelan, Mona | Due to the lack of HP% buffs available, running a second Hydro teammate for Hydro Resonance is a decent option. While Neuvillette is unable to make much use of Yelan’s Burst, he still benefits from her ramping DMG% buff and Hydro Particles. Similarly, Mona is able to increase Neuvillette’s damage via her Omen’s large DMG Bonus. |
  Dahlia, Xingqiu | Other second Hydro alternatives for players who lack the above options. Xingqiu offers interruption resistance, some personal damage, and a modest Hydro RES Shred at C2. Dahlia lacks buffs that benefit Neuvillette, but offers a full shield. Thanks to his A1, his shield HP is decent in Neuvillette’s Freeze teams. With C4, Dahlia also covers all of Neuvillette’s field time. |
