Neuvillette has become a highly awaited character in Genshin Impact, and recent leaks have shed light on his complete set of abilities, building up excitement among players.
While he was already familiar to some leaker communities, most Genshin Impact fans got their first glimpse of Neuvillette in The Final Feast teaser for Fontaine.
In this teaser, he left a lasting impression as the Chief Justice responsible for regulating the Hydro Archon. With such a strong introduction, Neuvillette will likely emerge as one of the most beloved characters in Genshin Impact.
Nonetheless, a character’s initial excitement and widespread appeal hold little significance if their ability kit fails to impress. Take, for instance, Dehya in Genshin Impact, who played a significant part in the Sumeru Archon Quest and quickly won over fans due to her compelling personality, striking visual design, and overall calm demeanor.
Regrettably, her abilities continue to receive criticism from the Genshin Impact community, sparking concerns that a few Fontaine characters might face a similar fate.
Although the final verdict on upcoming Genshin Impact characters such as Wriothesley and Navia is still uncertain, Neuvillette appears to boast a remarkably adaptable kit that fully utilizes the new Ousia and Pneuma mechanics.
These leaks emerged from the Chinese Baidu forums, and vivliz graciously translated the information for the English-speaking Genshin Impact community on Reddit.
A Summary of Neuvillette’s Kit (So Far)

Neuvillette is expected to shine in both on-field DPS and off-field Support DPS roles, akin to a Hydro version of Yae Miko. His Elemental Skill is particularly noteworthy for substantially benefiting the entire group.
Neuvillette’s versatility stems from the buffs he gains, whether on-field or off-field, for more than two seconds, affecting his Ousia and Pneuma polarity. His Elemental Skill’s effectiveness relies on his HP, while his ATK influences his Normal Attacks.
Nevertheless, while on-field, Neuvillette’s buff adds extra damage to his Normal Attacks based on his HP, making it beneficial for Genshin Impact players to prioritize HP artifacts when building him.
Conversely, when off-field, Neuvillette’s Elemental Skill becomes more potent, and his Elemental Burst provides bonus damage to the on-field character’s Normal Attacks.
This bonus damage scaling makes him particularly valuable for symbols with strong Normal Attack multipliers, like Eula. Though Constellations in Genshin Impact play a significant role in determining a character’s full potential, Neuvillette’s Constellations are currently undisclosed.
He appears to be a formidable unit, but his viability for popular teams like Bloom and Hyperbloom depends on how effectively he applies Hydro.
