Dear Monsieur Neuvillette
Initially introduced to the public as Fontaine’s Chief Justice, Neuvillette creates an initial impression of impartiality and detachment. He appears to be someone who approaches judgment without bias, symbolising justice within Fontaine. His commitment to fairness extends beyond the courtroom; Even in his daily life, he meticulously monitors public perception. To safeguard the integrity of the judicial system, he avoids forming personal connections and refrains from unconventional collaborations that might raise suspicions of injustice.
At first glance, Neuvillette might come across as rather uninteresting. However, what truly distinguishes him and captures our fascination is the delightful contrast he embodies. Despite his prominent position, he exudes a humble and approachable demeanour, readily forming friendships with anyone. Beyond his official duties, he nurtures personal interests and hobbies, such as savouring water from various locations in Teyvat and sharing his perspectives on the distinct flavours of these waters.
His character as a seemingly composed and collected individual with a warm heart is exemplified in his interactions with the Melusines. Neuvillette holds a genuine fondness for them, viewing them as benevolent beings. He even implemented a law to grant Melusines human-like names and personally extended invitations to the Merusea Village, seeking their assistance in forming the Marechaussee Phantom to aid in investigations and evidence collection for his judgments. His preference for water-rich things, whether it be food, locations, or otherwise, is unmistakable. Conversely, he harbours a strong aversion to dry foods and views journeys to arid regions without water as potentially sinister, suspecting ill intentions from those leading him there.
Despite his friendly exterior, Neuvillette maintains a degree of distance from others, driven by the weighty responsibilities of his position and a commitment to preserving an image of impartiality. Consequently, he remains a solitary figure, with only his family name, Neuvillette, known to the public. His struggle to express emotions stems from a lack of self-understanding. He regards humans as mirrors, through which he gradually gains insight into his own emotions and complexities by observing them.

Neuvillette’s Skills Explained
Having gained a brief understanding of who Neuvillette is, this is perhaps the aspect that garners the most player attention and serves as the pivotal factor influencing whether or not to invest Primogems in acquiring him.
Neuvillette stands out as a unique Hydro DPS character in Genshin Impact, emphasising the utilisation of his special charged attacks to deliver substantial damage. He wields a catalyst as his weapon of choice, and his gameplay style prominently centres on his “Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment”. This ability bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Kamehameha from Dragon Ball, enabling Neuvillette to unleash a formidable Hydro beam in accordance with the duration of the channeling.
Basic Attacks: As Still Waters
Normal Attack
Neuvillette waves his cane, directing the tides to release up to 3 Hydro DMG attacks.
Charged Attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina to attack opponents with a rupturing rung of water, dealing AoE Hydro DMG.
Charged Attack: Equitable Judgement
1. Unleashes surging torrents, dealing continuous AoE Hydro DMG to all opponents in a straight line in front of him.
2. If his HP is above 50%, he will continuously lose HP while unleashing this attack.
Charged Attack Empowerment: Legal Evaluation
1. While charging up, Neuvillette will gather the power of Hydro, forming it into a Seal of Arbitration.
2. In this state, he can move and change the direction he’s facing, and also absorb any Sourcewater Droplets in a certain AoE.
3. Every Droplet he absorbs will increase the formation speed of the Seal, and will heal Neuvilette based on his Max HP.
4. If a Symbol has yet to be formed before the charging ceases, then a Charged Attack will be unleashed.
5. If a Symbol has been formed, then a Charged Attack: Equitable Judgement will be unleashed.
Plunging Attack
Gathering the power of Hydro, Neuvillette plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in his path, dealing AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground.
Elemental Skill: O Tears, I Shall Repay
Neuvillette conjures a Raging Waterfall that inflicts AoE Hydro damage on foes positioned in front of him. Upon striking an adversary, this ability spawns 3 Sourcewater Droplets in close proximity to the target.
At specific intervals, as the Raging Waterfall descends, a Spiritbreath Thorn will emerge, piercing through opponents and dealing Hydro damage aligned with Pneuma.
Elemental Burst: O Tears, I Have Returned
Neuvillette unleashes a rupturing wave that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on his Max HP. After a short interval, 2 waterfalls will descend and deal Hydro DMG in a smaller AoE, and will generate 6 Sourcewater Droplets within an area in front.
