Neuvillette is a Hydro character who is released in Genshin Impact’s 4.1 patch. Being the Chief Justice of Fontaine, he is known for his wisdom and intelligence. We will go over the best Neuvillette build in Genshin Impact from what we know so far.
Similar to Alhaitham in Sumeru, Neuvillette is a serious and responsible man with a position of power. His confirmation as a playable character through leaks caused a lot of excitement in the community. He will likely be a Hydro powerhouse, and we've got a sneak peek at his skill thanks to some leakers. So, without further ado here, is our speculation for the best Neuvillete build and his role in Fontaine.
Who is Neuvillette?
Neuvillette is the Chief of Justice in Fontaine. Fontaine is a nation known for its laws and justice system, and Neuvillete oversees all these proceedings. Safe to say, this makes him the most influential figure in Fontaine next to the Hydro Archon herself. Speaking of whom, the Hydro Archon is regularly present in the proceedings of the court, and we can assume they are in regular contact due to this.
Neuvillete is a serious, authoritative figure with a very dignified demeanour and even instructs the Hydro Archon to maintain decorum in the court. We’ve heard him compliment Dendro Archon Nahida on her responsible and calm nature. Safe to say, this means he might have some disagreements with Furina, but he upholds his role as the judge and follows the laws regardless. He is supported in these endeavours by the Duelist Champion of Fontaine, Clorinde.
We've seen him struggling to express emotions and empathize with the people around him, such as in the case of the tragedy of Navia's father. He is also one of the few characters who doesn't own a vision yet has access to special magic. This might suggest that he is no ordinary human and could be the Hydro Dragon reincarnated or one of the descenders.

Neuvillette best Artifacts, Weapons, and team compositions
The best artifacts for Neuvillette are the Heart of Depth set. This set increases his Hydro damage and Normal Attack damage. He can also use the Noblesse Oblige set, which increases his Elemental Burst damage.
Another very likely contender for the best Neuvillete artifact set is the upcoming Nymph’s Dream artifact set. It boosts Hydro DMG and normal attacks drastically with a stacking effect. It’s shaping up to be the new best Hydro artifact set.
The best weapon for Neuvillette is the Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds. This weapon increases his Elemental DMG Bonus and increases his Movement SPD. If the 5-star catalyst isn't available, Eye of Perception is a good alternative weapon for Neuvillette. It is a 4-star catalyst weapon that increases Elemental DMG. This stat is very valuable for Neuvillette, as he is a Hydro damage dealer.
Neuvillette can be used in a variety of team compositions. He is a good fit for teams that need Hydro damage, such as a freeze team or a vaporize team. However, his potential as a Hydro DPS sets him up to be perfect for Bloom teams.
Neuvillette can be used in a variety of alternative team compositions. Here are a few examples:
- Freeze team: Neuvillette, Ganyu, Mona, and Diona. This team uses Neuvillette's Hydro application along with Ganyu's Cryo damage to freeze enemies. Mona's Elemental Burst can also be used to increase the damage of Neuvillette's Elemental Burst.
- Vaporize team: Neuvillette, Xiangling, Bennett, and Xingqiu. This team uses Neuvillette's Hydro application to vaporize Xiangling's Pyro damage. Bennett's Elemental Burst can also be used to provide a large attack buff, and Xingqiu's Elemental Skill can apply Hydro to enemies off-field.
- Hyperbloom Team: Neuvillete, Nahida, Raiden Shogun, Xinqiu/Fischl. This team relies on the interaction between Dendro and Hydro to create Dendro cores and then trigger them with Electro for some serious damage. It’s currently considered one of the strongest and most consistent DPS reactions in the game.
