Cover-Credits:
Neuvillette is an upcoming 5-star Hydro Catalyst character in Genshin Impact. He is the Iudex, or Chief Justice, of Fontaine, and is known for his wisdom and impartiality. He is also said to be the only male Melusine, a race of mermaid-like creatures. Neuvillette's gameplay kit has not been officially released yet, but leaks have given us a glimpse of what to expect. If you are interested in checking out Neuvillette’s kit ahead of his release, here is a quick breakdown of his talents, constellations and passives.
Genshin Impact 4.1 - Neuvillette Abilities
Normal Attack – As Still Waters
Lightly waves his cane, commanding the tides to unleash a maximum of 3 attacks, dealing Hydro DMG.
Charged Attack Empowerment: Legal Evaluation
While charging up, Neuvillete will gather the power of water, forming it into a Seal of Arbitration. In this state, Neuillete 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 Neuvillete based on his Max HP. When the charging is stopped, if the Symbol has yet to be formed, then a Charged Attack will be unleashed. It if has been formed, then a Charged Attack: Equitable Judgement will be unleashed.
Charged Attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina to attack opponents with a rupturing ring 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 X second(s). If Neuvillete’s HP is above 50%, he will continuously lose HP while using this attack.
Plunging Attack
Gathering the might of Hydro, Neuvillete plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in his path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground.
Elemental Skill – O Tears I Shall Repay
Summons a Raging Waterfall that will deal AoE Hydro DMG to opponents in front of him. 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 emerge that will pierce opponents, dealing Pneuma-aligned Hydro DMG.
Elemental Burst – O Tides, I Have Returned
Unleashes a rupturing wave that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on Neuvillete’s Max HP. After a short interval, 2 waterfalls will descend and deal Hydro DMG in a somewhat smaller AoE, and will generate 6 Sourcewwater Droplets within an area in front.
