✦✦Neuvillete Build Guide!✦✦
> Points to consider before building :
- Neuvillete is one of the strongest Hydro units introduced in the game by far! His personal damage is as awesome as his easy-to-learn playstyle. Just like Ayato his playstyle is much suited for mobile players who would want to play the game with relative ease. unlike Ayato however Neuvillete sadly has anti-synergy with Yelan and Xingqiu. Altho he makes up for this by his own incredible damage potential.
- He is intended to be a DPS role unit, and hence provides the most value when played in that role.
- If you add another Hydro Unit in your party besides Neuvillete, You get "Hydro Resonance" - which increases all party member's Max HP by 25%.
- He is generally paired well with a shielder or any character that can increase "Resistance to interruption"
- He requires HP% and Energy Recharge(ER) to utilise his kit to the fullest. So try to balance these stats while managing Crit rate/Damage, when farming for artifacts.
- Artifact Priority : Sands - HP% | Goblet - Hydro Dmg Bonus | Circlet - Crit Rate/Dmg
- Playstyle : E > CA > Q > CA,CA > Repeat
[Disclaimer : This Guide Assumes you have collected all materials for ascending "Neuvillete" to lvl90 or have already done so...]

HP% is generally better than Atk% for Fontaine characters.
- Marechausse Hunter : Bis Set. Just equip this if you want to use his entire kit and passive while not losing any damage. Grants upto 36% Crit rate - when losing/Gaining HP. Due to how Neuvillete's CA consumes max HP, he can easily accumulate those 3 stacks. Try to avoid getting over 70% crit rate while farming or else you might overcrit. This set makes Crit Damage weapons significantly better choice on him.
- Heart of Depth : Good set overall. Because his standard rotation requires to cast E - skill before attacking. His Skill Cooldown is 12 secs and HOD set applies NA and CA damage boost for 15 secs, so basically you can have 100% uptime on the 4pc passive. Set provides upto 8-9% more damage if not same to the Mare Hunter.
- (2pc + 2pc) Sets : HOD + HP% | Mare Hunter + HP% | Mare Hunter + HOD
✦✦Weapons✦✦
If weapon provides alot of HP%, you can go for Atk% Sands
- Tome of the Eternal Flow : Bis Weapon tailored made for Neuvillete! If you managed to get this, you can equip it on him without any DPS loss. This weapon makes Mare Hunter set a potentially stronger option in comparison to HOD.
- Sacrificial Jade : This is a BP weapon that not only provides upto 33% crit rate which makes building easy, but also provides a HP% boost for 10 secs after a character takes the field. This weapon initially is a statstick but gets stronger with refinements. The other BP weapon Solar Pearl - also is a great contender if you have already. These weapons paired with the Mare Hunter set, can gurantee you to never miss a Crit.
- Jadefall's Splendor : Good weapon that makes a ATK% sands a potentially stronger option, also gives a bit of ER and Elemental dmg boost after casting Elemental Burst.
- Prototype Amber : The only HP weapon on this list, that can be crafted from any region's blacksmith. It gives a teamwide healing buff which can be good for Neuvillete himself. This weapon falls off compared to the others on this list but still is noteworthy because it is fully F2P friendly and the value it adds to you account.
- Kagura's Varity : It is basically a Crit Dmg Statstick because Neuvillete cannot utilise its full passive. its 3 stack mechanic is suited for characters with fast E Skill cooldowns like Yae Miko. Still a very strong option regardless!
BONUS F2P WEAPON!
Ballad of Boundless Blue : Best F2P weapon by far!! As of now, Its availible in the "Waterborne Poetry" Event, in Version 4.1(this is good for F2Ps, because event weapons do not come back and its obtainable to Refinement Rank 5 jus by playing the event). Its R5 variant competes closely with R1 Tome of Eternal Flow!! To all my Free-to-Play friends - i urge you to get this weapon even if you do not own Neuvillete, just because of the sheer value it brings to you account!
✦✦Team Comps and ideas✦✦

>>> Note From Alyx : Basically any team that can reliably trigger hydro related reactions frequently are good for him, because this triggers his A2 passive, every reaction gives Neuvillete 1 stack of "Past Draconic Glory". When he has 3 stacks, his charged attack damage is boosted substancially (upto +160%). If you cannot go for this, i'd suggest taking a shielder, a healer and any damage buffer to make a Hypercarry team. In v4.2 when Furina is released she will be the best teammate for Neuvillete as she will be the first HP% based damage buffer.
