There’s no denying that out of most RPG and Gacha games, Genshin Impact has one of the best roosters of characters. The game recently had one of the most significant version releases, i.e., Fontaine, in over a year, and the same introduced more characters that not only look sick but also have deep stories to tell in the lore. One of them that has taken the Genshin world by storm recently is Neuvillette, the Chief Justice of Fontaine. He will be playable in Genshin Impact 4.1 besides characters like Wriothesley and the Hydro Archon Furina coming in Genshin Impact 4.2. Hence in this article, let’s look at some of the best Neuvillette builds in Genshin Impact along with the weapons he wields.
Neuvillette has remained a fascinating character in the Fontaine saga since there are many mysteries around him and his relation to Fontaine. We later learned that he’s one of the seven sovereigns of Teyvat, i.e., the Hydro Dragon. Rather, he’s the reincarnated version of the Hydro Dragon and has no memories of it. Enough about the lore, let’s begin with the best builds for Neuvillette
Neuvillette Best Builds in Genshin Impact
The best build for Neuvillette is the Tome of the Eternal Flow combined with the 4-piece Maracheusse Hunter artifact set. Tome of the Eternal Flow takes care of Neuvillette’s Crit Damage requirements, whereas Maracheussee Hunter increases both his Normal and Charged Attack and Crit Rate, making it the best artifact set to build Neuvillette.
Although, much of Neuvillette’s damage from his talents and passives seems to come from HP scaling; hence, you shouldn’t be limited to using just the Maracheusse Hunter and Tome of Eternal Flow. As for the stats and sub-stats you should prioritize, we’ll look at the same later. Here are some of the best builds for Neuvillette:
- 4-piece Maracheusse Hunter (Great for stacking up Crit Damage and HP% since it takes care of Crit Rate)
- 4-piece Nymph’s Dream (Great if you have enough Crit values but need Hydro damage bonus)
- 4-piece Echoes of An Offering (Good for increasing Normal and Charged attack damage)
- 4-piece Heart of Depth (More Hydro damage)
| Artifact | Main / Sub-Stat |
|---|---|
| Flower | Flat HP / Crit Damage ≡ Crit Rate > HP% > ER > ATK |
| Feather | Flat ATK / Crit Damage ≡ Crit Rate > HP% > ER > ATK |
| Sands | HP% / Crit Damage ≡ Crit Rate > ER > ATK > EM |
| Goblet | Hydro DMG Bonus / Crit Damage ≡ Crit Rate > HP% > ER > ATK |
| Circlet | Crit Damage ≡ Crit Rate / HP% > ER > ATK > EM |

- Normal Attack: A series of three waves dealing Hydro Attack damage
- Charged Attack: Unleashes a massive Hydro cannon that deals Hydro Damage in a straight line.
