The full ability kit of the austere Iudex of Fontaine, Neuvillette, has been revealed during the 4.1 Livestream, making waves in the Genshin community. The much-anticipated release of Fontaine has finally arrived, introducing a new cast of characters and exciting ability kits to the forefront. Among the 18 new Fontaine characters, Neuvillette commands the Opera Epiclese as Chief Justice and harnesses the power of Hydro with grace and poise.
Wielding both a Catalyst and a sleek cane, Neuvillette is set to be a formidable Hydro main DPS that will make a splash in the meta. It seems that his kit revolves around “Sourecewater Droplets” that he can absorb during battle, greatly increasing his Hydro DMG output and shortening his charge-up time. Here's a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know about Neuvillette’s kit.
Genshin Impact Neuvillette kit guide
Neuvillette is an upcoming 5-star Hydro Catalyst character that hails from Fontaine. He holds a unique set of abilities that will allow you to wash your enemies away with ease!
His playstyle will revolve heavily around his Charged Attack. His charged attack resembles the iconic Kamehameha from Dragon Ball, allowing Neuvillette to unleash a powerful beam of Hydro according to the channelling time.
Who is Neuvillette?
The Court of Fontaine spans across a large area, underscoring the importance placed on "justice" and "judgment". At the epicentre of Fontaine stands the Opera Epiclese, a grand structure that looms over the region. It serves as both the main Court and stage of Fontaine. The person who commands the Opera Epiclese of the Court of Fontaine is none other than Chief Justice Neuvillette himself.
His prominent position implies significant involvement in the political and judicial matters of the region, playing a crucial role in Fontaine's storyline. Neuvillette is described as reticent and stern by other characters. Interestingly, he is greatly revered by the Melusine of Fontaine for introducing them to the Court of Fontaine, where many of them now live.

Neuvillette Elemental Skill
O Tears, I Shall Repay
Neuvillette summons a Raging Waterfall that deals AoE Hydro DMG to opponents in front of him. After hitting an opponent, this skill will generate 3 Sourcewater Droplets near that opponent.
