Genshin Impact Neuvillette Build Guide

Why Neuvillette is S-Tier

Neuvillette, the Chief Justice of Fontaine, is widely considered one of the strongest DPS characters in Genshin Impact. His Charged Attack — Equitable Judgment — deals massive Hydro DMG in a wide area and scales incredibly well with HP, making him both powerful and tanky.

Best Artifacts

4-Piece Marechaussee Hunter

The best-in-slot set for Neuvillette. The 4-piece bonus grants CRIT Rate when HP changes, which happens constantly due to his Charged Attack mechanic.

Main Stats:

• Sands: HP%
• Goblet: Hydro DMG Bonus
• Circlet: CRIT DMG

Substats Priority: CRIT DMG > HP% > CRIT Rate > Energy Recharge

Alternative: 4-Piece Heart of Depth

A solid alternative if you don't have good Marechaussee pieces. The Hydro DMG bonus from 2-piece and the Normal/Charged ATK bonus from 4-piece work well.

Best Weapons

Signature: Tome of the Eternal Flow

His best weapon by a significant margin. Provides CRIT DMG, HP%, and a passive that directly boosts his Charged Attack damage.

5-Star Alternatives

• Cashflow Supervision: CRIT Rate and ATK speed boost
• Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds: CRIT Rate and stacking Elemental DMG

4-Star Options

• Prototype Amber: HP% substat and team healing utility
• Sacrificial Jade: HP% and Energy Recharge for burst uptime
