Should You Pull?YES

Neuvillette is one of the strongest Hydro Main DPSs in the current meta and worth pulling for most players.

Neuvillette is a 5-star Hydro character who utilizes powerful Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment to unleash huge Hydro damage. These charged attacks trigger his water cannon which can be channelled and aimed at packs of enemies, but this attack has a four second charge up unless you collect his Sourcewater Droplets which lower the cast time. This unique mechanic creates a fun, active, on-field play style for Neuvillette.

Neuvillette's best team comps tend to revolve around his Hypercarry playstyle which primarily focuses on the damage he can provide to the team. In both examples, Kaedehara Kazuha is used to help decrease the enemies Hydro RES as well as providing an Elemental DMG bonus to Hydro with his Ascension passive, Soumon Swordsmanship.

Character Synergy
Neuvillette
NeuvilletteMain DPS

Neuvillette acts as the Hypercarry, utilizing his powerful Charged Attacks to deal massive Hydro DMG that scales with his Max HP. This team focuses on maximizing his personal output through various elemental buffs.

Fischl
FischlSupport

Fischl provides consistent off-field Electro damage and triggers Electro-Charged, which helps Neuvillette gain stacks for his Past Draconic Glories passive. Her high energy particle generation also helps the team's overall rotation.

Kaedehara Kazuha

Kazuha provides a massive Hydro DMG bonus and shreds enemy Hydro RES, which are both essential for Neuvillette's scaling. His grouping ability also makes Neuvillette's linear Charged Attacks much more efficient against multiple targets.

Zhongli
ZhongliSustain

Zhongli provides a powerful shield that prevents Neuvillette's Charged Attacks from being interrupted, which is crucial for his damage uptime. His universal RES shred further amplifies Neuvillette's Hydro beams.
