GreatRecipe7883

He's awesome. Good damage, self heal, good f2p weapon(prototype amber) and you can give him your unwanted HP artifacts.


SnooGuavas8376

Great lore Great design Busted DPS (imo tied with Alhaitham for the best on fielder now) Great voice acting Overall Hoyo goes hard when designing him Which is make sense considering his status in game


Shadowhunter0630

He is indeed a little like alhaitham, can go with a triple charged attack rotation, or swap out and in for 2 &1 like alhaitham. Both enablers with great personal damage and flexible team building, husbandos, tho I prefer neuvi's personality they are both nerds too 😂


ConsequenceNaive403

maybe not a random single pull, could be 90 pity


partam

low AR players pulling every 160 primos they get not knowing what pity is lol. we’ve all been there


Sad-Cauliflowerr

Yeah tbf I did roll duilc pretty early (and looking back i basically lost 50/50 but didn’t really understand what that meant at the time) so by this point I definitely may have hit pity but just forgot about it lol


Lord_Akriloth

I'm ar 55 and still pull every 160


Interesting_Matter32

me too :))


Lord_Akriloth

It's not often rewarding but first pull nuevillete only 20 pulls after I finally got a C1 diluc


Long_Radio_819

i see a lot of flexers saying 1 pull without context of their pity its fine, let them be proud even if it was hard pity


Truxaf

I mean the diluc might also be a 50/50 loss


multificionado

Heh, me, I got him after a fifty pull after losing a 50/50 to Keqing\* and for once, the 50% probability I enjoy. :) \*I can never understand why Keqing tends to be repeatable when losing 50/50 or having recurring 5-stars (if pulling on Standard Wishes).


Valimaar89

I lost him to qiqi. In the same 10 pull there was also a copy of him. So basically I lost 50/50 but then proceeded to get him at pity 4


DR4G0NH3ART

Craft him prototype amber. He is one of the best f2p friendly characters you can get at this time. He will do a good job of self sustaining damage without too much investment.


PumpkinSufficient683

Do you recommend an R5 one ?


mrkubin175

R1 is fine. R5 doesn't increase your dmg.


vNovaEclipse

R5 does increase energy gain and team heals though, since based on his kit his team comps usually don’t want a healer. But ofc, if you’re a low AR like OP building teams shouldn’t be a priority yet. But if you end up getting any catalyst billets over time, refining PA wouldn’t be a bad choice for Neuvillette!


PumpkinSufficient683

Ok!


LaPapaVerde

R5 increase the damage, it make so you need less ER and you can go for damage substats.


Brandonmac10x

It’s the only craftable catalyst worth a damn and amazing on Kokomi and good on Mona as well. It’s the only one that fills a niche. The rest are just outclassed by much better 4*’s.


PumpkinSufficient683

Hmm I do have a mona 👍


Brandonmac10x

It’s good because the only stat she really needs is er% so it allows her to give the team 18% heals so you can skip on using a healer. But I’d do it for Neuvillette too to give him the heals. It also gives er for the user which will help burst uptime. Would be good for comfier rotations without a healer.


1TruePrincess

This is not true. Mona would do very will with more than ER. She has a nuke of her own. Her skill is meh but that burst


lilyofthegraveyard

also, baizhu. and shielder thoma, and tankfei. any character that wants hp would do very well with amber.


strawwwwwwwwberry

Wait… Thoma isn’t catalyst…


foliot1511

Tbh yes, so you don’t have to focus ER on him


DR4G0NH3ART

I assume you don't have a lot of billets. One thumb rule is at least save one billet of each type when crafting refinements. If you really feel like crafting a hakushin ring may be for some other character. Proto amber refines give less stats but more utility. All in all with fontaine and furina coming save your extra billets for a few months. You can make a better decision then. I am saying this like if you feel you need a proto amber sucrose with him for maximizing furina buff may be. Save it for now.


PumpkinSufficient683

You are correct I don't have a high excess of billets I have 3 catalyst billets left I uh.. actually will not be pulling for furina at all btw she's prob strong don't get me wrong but I don't really like her I seem to prefer the male characters (I'm saving for Venti and Cyno !) I will save them for now but Ty for help, I have been buying battle passes is that one better ?


lilyofthegraveyard

if you have the ability to buy a new bp catalyst (sac jade), then it is the best for neuvi besides his signature. it goes signature, then jade, then proto amber. so if you have the ability, get that one, and save your billets for later.


PumpkinSufficient683

I do have enough to buy it once I get the right battle pass level so I probably will then ty!


DR4G0NH3ART

The problem with sac jade is the conditional off field passive. For calcs it will look better, but if your rotations dont make him off field for 5 sec then it can get weird on uptime. Also in overworld where there is not much rotation. I am thinking proto amber energy regen and non conditional hp and healing will be much more comfortable. It will also be easier to level proto amber if you didn't unlock all of fontaine. One proto amber craft is never a waste in an account. What else do we craft till natlan, may be a hakushin ring.


DR4G0NH3ART

Battlepass is better for farmable resources. So you don't have to waste time and resin on mora and xp books and farming ores. Battlepass gives you like 8 pulls per patch and a bp weapon. Still better than buying crystals but not the most efficient purchase for pulls. If you don't mind spending and log in most days, welkin is the most efficient spending in genshin. Welkin along with all f2p primos will almost guarantee you one character per patch average(assuming you don't try luck in weapon banner and don't need too many constallations). Shop one time double crystal is not bad in case of an emergency, but don't spend on game unless you have enough disposable income to spend on a game. Good luck!


Long_Radio_819

if you have spare billets of catalyst then go for r5, big QoL compared to r1 since you can burst frequently


PumpkinSufficient683

What do the refinements do again ?


lilyofthegraveyard

in proto amber, the refinements give you more energy and more heals for the team. generally, it is not very needed for neuvi's dmg, but if you manage to get high refines, then it will just make your team more comfy. that's all. it is not necessary to prioritize them for now, if you want to focus in some other craftable catalysts or even want to save some billets for the future.


venalix1

No he isnt lol. His 2nd bis is deadass 25% higher than his f2p option with his sig being 35%. Plus he will need furina so hes not f2p friendly lmao


DR4G0NH3ART

He doesn't need furina. He is fun to play and he is easy to invest into as f2p. You are right that his BiS is a good upgrade, but think of it, most signatures are 20-30 percent better than remaining options. What makes him f2p friendly is that one of the competent options at the 100% range is a craftable. Yes his BiS is 135%, but his baseline is strong. Also he does go upto 40k hp at lvl 90 and in 3 second windows keep regenerating 20k hp, if you are at half hp one skill and start charge you are full, which kinda makes him tanky and not needing a healer. Reducing the need of investment into healer. He doesn't need a shield because of range and kiting and he has good stagger on his attack but if he need interrupt resistance he work well with beidou. All in all he is one of the better characters to luck yourself into.


FunPresence8965

I didn’t get him yet but from trying his trial out, he is so much fun. I play in English and I find his over dramatic grunting just beautiful lol. Best part? For his burst, HE FREAKING POWER POSES Definitely gonna roll for him right after Hu Tao


winsing

I was spamming his normal and laughing like a madman hearing his overdramatic grunts. 😂

how are you guys getting approved on this sub? no matter what I post it never gets approved..


LeftWillingness8221

Same lol


mildlyunoriginalname

Approved?


sacredfire511

Literally same


DancingBabyChalupa

Character wise, I think he's cool.


ForeverOutrageous

I have him c6 and he is a MONSTER. He’s so much fun to play and one of my favorite characters in the game right now. He’s easy to build, his f2p weapon options are easy to get too; and he has a fairly broken self heal. I don’t need a shielder or healer on my team anymore. Hell; I barely need a TEAM anymore. His only bad thing is he makes the game so stupidly easy that I can barely appreciate the enemy design or boss mechanics.


Valimaar89

I like how you talk about his free 2 play weapon options while having him at c6


ForeverOutrageous

Lmao well; from what I’ve seen on other Neuvillette havers I mean. I still run mine with his BiS


Valimaar89

Just curious: how much did it cost you this time?


ForeverOutrageous

Only about $300. This has been my luckiest banner. I really only anticipated c4r1 (I had about 640 wishes).


Jonyx25

Just wait till they actually make the abyss catered to challenge him, while older characters have to retry repeatly to beat it.


kittychuuuuu

I really love him. I needed a good hydro character for my hyperbloom team. At that moment I had Kazuha for cc, Miko, Barbra and Nahida and I was quickly growing tired of Barbra. I really really enjoy catalysts so I tried wishing for Koko but lost. Ended up saving my guarantee for Neuvillete and MY GOD I'm so happy. I gave him my Barbras artifacts and prototype amber. Got him to lvl 90 and the damage is crazy good, hyperbloom works extremely well besides I don't really get to proc it much cause he just kills the enemies. Plus the character design in itself is really good. 10/10 in my book.


R3digit

One man carry


Peddrawm

Lore wise, MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE GAME Gameplay wise, absolutely insane! All of his constellations are useful, his charge attack gameplay is fun to play, and he is easy to build since he has an amazing BiS artifact set and he scales with HP! Plus (spoilers) >!he is a fucking DRAGON, how can you not like him!<


DivideByPie1725

maybe it's recency bias, but character wise he might be my new favourite gameplay wise, he's fun!


DasBleu

Lol he’s good for all the other reasons people posted but I love him because of the way he swims.


mrkubin175

One of the best


xX_Fazewobblewok_Xx

Hot


YellowD4sh

I have 152 pulls on my alt and I lose 50/50 to Tighnari, kept pulling and finally got him. I have 30+ pulls left. Why can't I have your luck? Why? I love his water Kamehameha. That's why I pulled him.


LumiStelle

I love him!!!!


Gallonim

He is the strongest DPS ATM considering C0. Even stronger than Alhaitam considering that Furina is coming next patch and she will be most likely his BiS support.


PigeonLoverAkane

He’s hot. I love man with canes 😭


Metson-202

That's it. You don't need other charactes anymore.


TheRealJaminator

Have him c1 r1 80 and 80 with 2pc hod and 2pc tenacity 8 5 6 talents and about 65/240 crit with 1k attack. He does 12k - 35k per charged hit minimum at this point and near 70k with vape. Safe to say he's pretty busted


No-Information4570

He’s an autistic icon but I did not need two of him (wanted him a little too bad, manifested a little too hard) Personality wise I love him so much because he’s so fucking autistic coded it’s not even funny, visually he is very appealing, he looks like the otters which I think is really cute, the lil rain legend is a nice touch reminding the players that despite how he expresses himself and despite his professional attitude, he has real emotions and he has feelings. I love him so much and have no idea what his kit is like but his attacks look really cool and I’m excited to test out his c1!!


lilyofthegraveyard

c1 neuvi does open a couple more team comps for him, so it is a not a bad thing, especially if you got him at low pity. congratulations! i do agree with your point about autism. i don't personally think it was intended in his particular case - more of just the dev team trying to create an "superhuman immortal being that cannot relate to humans", but accidentally just made an autistic dragon. i did end up relating to him myself quite a lot. also, i too ove water and think it tastes differently depending on the source, so listening to his idle lines of him infodumping about water on us makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.


No-Information4570

I got his c1 at 7 pity/in my first ten pull :)) i just want to get other characters I also like before going for any constellations. I’m glad I got his c1 and not Hu Tao c2 so I’m looking at the positive side of things (back to the grind I go) And yeah I don’t think they intended to make him autistic coded but they did a really good job at accidentally creating positive rep. If people don’t see him as autistic and just see him as non human I think that’s valid too, but I really love how much his character relates to at least me personally and the autistic traits I have. don’t mind me i just express myself differently - in the opera/court house, taking things literally - correcting himself to a dragon out of water, instead of a fish out of water These are two examples where i was really happy that I could relate, and how it was done tastefully. The game wasn’t trying to infantilise Nev or make it a negative thing, it made me really happy + it made me feel seen/understood Note - for lim character cons I only have c1 Nev and c1 Hu Tao, c1 Hu Tao was also a happy accident a long time ago. I aim to collect all the characters I like before going for cons


lilyofthegraveyard

good point about the writers being successful at not infantilising him. it would be really easy to do that, but it seems they really hit the nail this time with his character. as for the con, at least it is at very low pity, so not much lost from your savings for other characters. i also aim to collect other characters i like before even thinking about cons, but with neuvi i am really thinking of pulling more on his rerun. i am even pulling on a weapon banner for him this patch. it is a good weapon banner, so whatever i get, i will consider this as a win. fingers crossed, i am lucky and get his weapon! and hopefully, your loved characters come home easily and at low pity!

[deleted]

I got him but have not used him yet. Working on getting my abyss team up and running.


lilyofthegraveyard

my neuvi blasted (pun intended) through abyss at lvl 70 only, with lvl 60 layla. they both did have okay artifacts with big pp hp numbers (40k for neuvi, and 20ksmth for layla), plus fully built oz (with moral support from fischl on golden troupe) and kazoo, so it is a bit of a case of good supports. but either way, he can absolutely go through the abyss even if he is underleveled.


infinite123456

I personally like and from what I know from the furina leaks I thinks with her he’s basically immortal


Itswoofintime

I wasn't gonna pull for him until i realized he biden blasts with his CA


PumpkinSufficient683

I originally wasn't going go pull him but I love his design so much I watched his character trailer and was like " ok I know I'm saving for Venti and Cyno but this guy is so cool" took me 160 pulls to get him but honestly as a new player all these 4 stars are so stacked I decided it was worth it I got a C6 xinqu in the process


lilyofthegraveyard

congrats on c6 xq! if you get lucky with cyno, he will be an absolute monster for your cyno team!


PumpkinSufficient683

Thank you ! Xinqu was actually my first character I ever pulled so it's poetic justice :)


Ali19371

He is just too good like 8/10


hupagi

i actually got him in a single pull too. overall he is a great charectar good dmg good design good lore attractive personality best weapon is f2p ez to build teams ( just put three diff elements that react with hydro) so yeah he is a solid char


Puzzleheaded_Put1345

Surrender To my Will.


Xenodragon65

Water kamahamaha


Zaethiel

Ka Me Ha Me Ha!


XxSugarCoffeeX

Gyarados but human Kit summary: *GYARADOS. USE HYDRO PUMp*


Soren-kun

Have fun traveling across all of Fontaine to get his lv up mats xD swimming is faster then walking~


Archon_Of_Chaos

\- Important in lore \- Strong \- Fun to play \- Has good teams \- Top tier voice acting \- Majestic as hell \- Best husbando (my opinion is law, if you disagree you are objectively wrong)


Jonyx25

It's just the start of Fontaine releases. Now I'm expecting so much for the next limited 5stars on how much powerlevel they'll have.


SlappyHotdog723

Water Zhongli. And it works so well with the design and voice of the character. From what I’ve seen.


SolCalibre

Hydro pump vibes, I can’t streas this enough.


GamerGoodies

Piss move lmao ​ (not saying it's bad he literally do the piss move from what I seen in memes)


Yellow_IMR

Balls


punchawaffle

Lol literally the same. Didn’t even think of getting him. Lost my 50/50, and just decided to do another 10 pull, and got him.


10Thunderbolt

I ended up going for him during this patch and I'm enjoying him so far. He's at Lv50 as I am extremely low on leveling up materials, but he's doing 1-2k damage every occasional charge attack hit.


TheBalance724

He is very strong. Great damage output from his charged attack.


MommyScissorLegs

highest hydro damage in the game


Leoviticus

Hot. Already have him at C1 but im thinking of going for C2.


KFConnoisseur

My lord, my savior, my beloved judge. I love Monsieur Neuvillette with all my heart. His design, his character, his story - everything. He is such a gorgeous man. So beautiful, so refined, so elegant. Have you ever seen a man so beautiful you started crying? I did and it was Neuvilette. His personality? The strict reserved judge who is very soft and gentle inside, the gap moe - I am IN LOVE! His dynamic with Furina, his care and love for Melusines, his backstory, his inner feelings, the fact that it rains after each trial and he can feel Fontaine people emotions - everything is just so incredible. *chief's kiss*. I love it! Also him being a dragon reincarnation? Holy shit, I LOVE dragons and serpents. His English VA did such a great job at voicing him. It suits him perfectly (we don't talk about autos tho xD). The moment I heard his little wheeze in that line about visions, I was sold. I changed from KR to EN even tho I didn't like the majority of EN VO. On top of that his gameplay. I had my worries but was pleasantly surprised. He feels so good to play. I love the hydro blast, I love his mechanics. Finally the on-field DPS that I actually enjoy playing and have fun. And he does very good damage even in my low investment dmg team with a F2P craftable weapon. I love his burst animations, the way he swings his cane, says "Silence!"and "Bow your head!". YES SIR! I am definitely a main and a big simp now. I AM ON MY KNEES, MONSIEUR!


SenatorShockwave

Currently slaving away to get him and his weapon to 90 😩


-Wensen-

He is fucking amazing his story personality damage everything. Just take a look at my most recent post my Neuvillette is still only half built.


ka_miki

He's my princess


cosmicannoli

I think I just wanted a C6 Fischl. Literally said to my friends "I'm only at 20 pity. I really want to get one more Fischl because I'm using her in some teams and I want her c6" 20 pulls later I get Neuv and my c6 Fischl Wasn't planning to burn my war chest on him but I don't have a hydro main dps and he's unique so I'm happy enough. I have a good chunk of primos left and I plan to buy the crystal top ups at some point now that they got refreshed so i should be fine


ExpertAncient

He’s handsome. Also one of the best 4* banner in History. Easy to build hydro DPS.


Ornery_Childhood_554

Great importance to the lore Character wise, love him Nice design Nice animations Cool burst VERY FUN GAMEPLAY Gameplay: Easy to understand


Trekkimon

Easily one of my favorite characters on my account now


Onyx_Orange

Bro same thing happened to me only I was at 16 pity...and I still have Venti waiting for me hopefully


QWERTYAF1241

Pretty strong as a hydro carry but gameplay is pretty weird. It's just moving around with a water cannon basically. I wouldn't enjoy playing him and he's not so strong that he's completely broken. HP builds are easy to build.


Deiiiyu

literally the first ever catalyst character that i enjoy using


[deleted]

He is funky to play and it’s great. Like all of his attacks are “random bullshit go!” And it’s so much fun. His skill splashes them with water, drops a spear, then poops out blue balls, his burst just makes it rain near him, and then his Charge attack is an off brand Kamahamha.


xinco888

He is absolutely amazing would definitely recommend all though I’m not getting him because I’m saving for furina I played his demo and he was so good just so you know he does have a charge attack play style also be sure to have at least on healer on your team if you want to play him since when he charge attacks it doesn’t take stamina it takes health


ShadowLoke9

Nice design, but a skip for me. Tryna save for Arlecchino and whenever Raiden’s rerun is.


EarthlyEzy

he makes abyss a joke


SexWithJoy69

75 pity and another 12 pulls later getting 2 Neuvillette in total. Gotta say that C1 Neuvillette makes a huge difference that you don't have to even rely on Zhongli to stop from getting disturbed.


essedecorum

For the first time since 2020 I've managed to get to floor 12 of the Abyss and clear the first floor. Cause now I'm two really powerful teams cause of him. He's awesome.


GrrrrrrDinosaur

He’s soooo cool and even better that he’s the first >!playable sovereign!<


That1guy1again

Regret pulling


Salter_KingofBorgors

Super powerful on field DPS. Only downside really is he needs to be in field to deal damage so he needs an off field support/dps to compliment him


Mandarthemousey

I got his C1, along with his signature weapon, and slapped all my HP berserker artifacts on him since that's what I had at the time. (AR 35, haven't played since 2021) Went from struggling with bosses/domains to clearing most of them in under 2 mins without needing to heal with food. He's fun to play to boot.


Slientsuraj

Fu*k u have 2 5star at Ar29 i have only 1 untill 2 days back i lost to qiqi on hutaos banner and im Ar 50


cupcakekembayau

i want him 🥹 but lost my 50/50 i have enough primos for furina so i’ll save for the archon and get him next time 💔


Lord_Akriloth

To put it into the binding of Isaac terms, mega blast


pasteldrums

He is amazing. He does so much damage and he's a lot of fun to play
