I love it when we get lore-accurate, plot-important strong characters that are not archons. His downsides aren't even critical; he's strong without Tome and can float far away enough to avoid attacks and allow the player to manually control him. He can't use NA-dependent off-field damage dealers but we have so many units to choose from anyway and doesn't make him so niche that he's dependent on specific supports

[@EnderHeart5911]

He’s also really good at dealing with shields and even completely ignores them in a few cases like for mitachurls.

[@natalies8498]

Can attest to this - I wasn't sure he'd be able to take down Abyss mages' shield enough (obviously can't with the hydro abyss mage's bubble), but all the others, his charged attack just keeps going until the shield breaks and the mages die on impact. Same with the ruin graders and guards - despite not weakening them first with my bow characters as I used to do. He just... charges right through.

If Archons are Greek Gods, then the Sovereigns are the primordial Titans. I do think there's a market for playable Sovereigns and they'll be a playable niche in hypercarries.

[@YukiZero]

I can see it happening... also if you notice all the archons are top tier supports (yes raiden is a support. she is a walking powerbank. it just so happens that she hits hard). I would not be surprised if they make sovereigns the top carry of each element... cant wait for what they plan to do with dvalin and azhdaha.

[@f4llenleaves]

Pretty much, but imo the gods (the major Olympians, at least) are stronger than the titans, whereas the sovereigns are strongly implied to be stronger than their successor archons. Gods fear the primordial beings tho, like Gaia, Nyx, etc. Hoping for more info on The Primordial One/its four shades

[@Gonshaaa]

I always see people collecting archons or harbingers, and I didn't get to collet either of those, so if that actually becomes a trend, it will be my thing, i absolutly love neuvillete and if i can have every dragon, i will

[@lighty2884]

The thing is he's not only powerful but also really f2p for beginners since everyone can get the 4 start Amber and you only need hp stats and he's ready to use

[@Roinur]

I'd actually beg to differ. He isn't very f2p friendly, depending on what your goal is! (Important distinction) What I mean is this, can you clear abyss with prototype amber at c0, yes of course and if that is your goal then yes he's very strong. If your goal is to pseudo speedrun or just be as strong as possible, then he simply is not f2p friendly, the difference in his f2p weapon and gacha is huge like one of the largest in the game. His c1 means you no longer need to compromise furina or passive. For example an end game hu Tao c0 with dragons bane will in single/multi target scenarios almost always be faster. However in aoe and if you only want to reach the 36* threshold then a c0 f2p Neuvilette is probably less artifact reliant. Last note, you still 100% want crit not just hp.

[@agiant5715]

@Roinur never even thought about how expensive it is to reach his ceiling damage your rigth on that good point. But I think your selling him a bit short on because in my experience he does a quite a bit better than my hu tao in mutlitarget situations with them being both c0 and him being on pamber with hu tao being r5 dbane. And that is with my girl being in the top 1% MH/dbane holding hu tao on akasha.cv so im confident thats touching endgame level atleast

[@Roinur]

@@agiant5715I meant more hsr type multi like 1-3 enemies, but I can totally see Neuvilette out damaging her if you line the enemies up, after all alot of hu tao team dmg is single target oriented off field dps. And don't get me wrong Neuvilette is one of the best DPS in the game but he simply isn't this "best in all categories" type char. He's just stupidly consistent which is very good for 95% of the game/players, but not optimal if you want to reach the utmost limit in a certain field.

[@agiant5715]

@Roinur a very good jack of all trades but a master of none i get it now (minus AOE stuff but he gonna have to figth kazha and venti on that)

@@agiant5715 Yeah and thats not a bad thing at all. Almost to the contrary, it means you can use him everywhere and He'll be good. The only time you really want a specialist unit is when you've been ar 60 for years and have nothing better to do than to completely overkill abyss.

[@nat6lbg440]

I don't know how there will ever be a better carry than Neuvillette, the way his kit function make it so that he is the strongest in AOE, one of the best in ST while also having range and mobility. It's very easy to deal his maximum damage output, on the other hand most carries can be limited by skill issue, bosses moving, stagger ... Did I mention that he is pretty immortal with his 40K HP and insane self heal?

[@agiant5715]

All those solo neuvillette abyss clear memes really show how a complete carry he is. There are whole "meta" teams that dont cover as many roles as he does alone

[@kekeke9466]

Neuv provides the most value of all characters currently that can play an on-field role.

[@MrDLM-mg4rn]

I want and believe with what we know about the Sovereigns that they are on top of the Archons when their original power is unlocked. I think it makes sense for Neuvi to be a complete unit by itself. Self buff, scale with HP and can self heal and he takes less damage during hyperbeam. At C1 you have a permanent 10% extra damage, can't be interrupted and now your Furina x Neuvillette team is more potent. When it comes to clearing the abyss with ease either with a proper team or solo, he is perfect for it.

[@libraryscholaralexis6581]

I totally agree with your take on Neuvillette. I rolled for him because I loved his character design and I needed more Hydro characters to pick from. I haven't regretted getting him. He's been amazing for bosses, for random enemies (minus ones immune to Hydro), and just really fun to use overall. The only real thing I did before he came out was I grinded out a set of Marechaussee Hunter for him since I heard it was going to be good for him. I really like that I don't need C1 to make use of Neuvillette though. He's vulnerable to interruption without C1, but a shielder like Layla, Baizhu, or Zhongli can solve that problem. If you have C1, then you don't need the shielder and that opens you up to having an open third slot on your team that can assist with more Hydro reactions.

[@Mr_AntiSocial]

C1 actually reduces the amount of reactions you need to achieve 3 stacks of ‘Past Draconic Glories’ to 2, which would allow you to run double hydro

[@KazeMemaryu]

MiHoYo did the playerbase dirty so many times, they had to provide a powerwasher to apologize. But honestly, Neuvilette is, just as you said, basically a perfect character. For newcomers, he's a comfy hypercarry with low investment needs and high flexibility, meaning you can immediately build a team around him, even with the starting cast. And the further you go, he remains powerful as you improve your skills and understanding of the metagame. If his playstyle wasn't so miserably boring and uninvolved to me, I would've pulled for him easily. Still, he's undeniably an easy recommendation for basically anyone.

[@sleep2752]

Same case for me, like I only played a bit on trial and immediately thought ‘I’ll get bored of this in one patch. Then more event came where he is usable for free. I already am so bored with him. I guess a lot of damage is what “fun” for lots of them… I know it’s coming, so imma say it first for the salty defenders. No, I didn’t lose 50/50 (Can’t lose if I didn’t pull a single time on him), I could easily get him c3+ RN if I want to. Have 93k primo saved + 65 fates but it’s for Someone with more engaging gameplay whom I don’t yet. Probably Columbina.

I still use Ayato from time to time, because other units are just felt better in alot of the teams, i mean that's probably the case with the whole Jack of all trades Master of none, Versatility and ease of use are nice but that's at the cost of Power, and i guess people like versatility but they also want power as well it's kinda like C0 Raiden but Raiden has more stuff in her kit. when it comes to on field: -Vape has Childe who has a ton Hydro app through his Skill and Riptides to help XL Vape, while also making up 40% to 50 or 60% damage contribution. and double swirling feels easier with him than Ayato since he doesn't need his burst to help double swirl. -Neuvillette mostly beats him everywhere else -Kokomi has Taser and Mono. the place i think where he shines are Soup, and non hyperbloom centered dendro comps, but the problem is, some of those spots can be somewhat contentious with the fish. now when it comes to off field: i think this is where i think people somewhat underestimated him since he has the biggest AoE when it comes to off field Hydro app since the rest have either very small AoE or very ST oriented, but i doubt he's still better than The Fish and the three XQs, the others provide more stuff though. XQ has off field damage, App and pseudo shielding and mitigation. Yelan has off field damage and a ramping buff. Furina has higher personal even though she needs a healer, she her buffing is still really good since it also buffs the entire team. also these three can make a really strong core.

It's hard to see a character knocking him or Furina out of their top 5 characters in the game slots. The ease of use + power of each makes them just insane characters, especially when you think about the kind of power we've been playing with up until this point.

[@cursedfurby6656]

I lowkey believe he is way too overtuned: after you have him, unless there is a character that is inmune to hydro, every other main dps kind of loses to him, meaning that in the futute every single character that is a main dps will be compared to him, and most likely, be overshadowed by him.

[@RaikaKoshiba650]

Which is well deserved considering his lore and background in the story. The archons are good so as a Dragon Sovereign and canonically the most powerful Hydro wielder in the lore he deserves this

The goodthing there is nothing ingame hard enough to make those "powercrept" dpses unuseable like in other gacha.

[@vladdyru]

@@RaikaKoshiba650That is the shittiest excuse you could’ve come up with. Gameplay and lore are two completely separate things, they share no connection whatsoever apart from some visual effects. Going by your logic, what is even the point of other characters with less lore significance then? Should all of them come out with the most scuffed and unplayable kits? Then again, why isn’t the Traveler the most broken character in the entire game? And why are the funeral director, bazaar dancer and feeble scholar as strong as they are? Care to explain that?

@@vladdyru What's with the weirdly rude comment? They literally NEVER said ANYTHING about the less lore significant characters needing to be "scuffed" or "unplayable" just because of the fact that they're less important to the plot. It's no secret that all of the archons are the best in their class in terms of gameplay, so a Dragon Sovereign is bound to be stronger.

[@vladdyru]

@@balllord8580 You’re literally plain wrong, archons are nowhere near to being «the best in their class». Venti has been outshined by Kazuha for ages, Zhongli has barely any teams where he isn’t a DPS loss, Raiden is a mediocre main DPS and a Kuki sidegrade in hyperbloom. Only Nahida can be called the best, and that’s it, that doesn’t make a trend. As for the scuffed part - that’s just common sense. If the guy implies that lore significance should be tied to gameplay, then it’s fair to assume that the other characters shouldn’t have a good gameplay whatsoever. Sure that’s far-fetched, but that’s one of the main points of that dumbass. The guy is literally making up excuses for the poor game balancing on the whim without any regard for the actual state of the game, nothing beyond that.

I'm so happy they gave such a good character to Hiroshi Kamiya. It's killing 2 birds with one stone for me 🥲 On another note, personally, I don't think he is overrated 'cause being able to self-sustain and deal good damage even if you don't give him the traditional buffer teammates just for the sake of buffing him is such a good thing. If evaluated like that, it's just facts What makes him "overrated" is because other players (his extremist fans) tend to be SOO annoying and say everyone else not him is unusable or trash. It's like the old toxic Ganyu fans just switched over to Neuv mains. Even more so rn with Arle beta, when they aren't even the same element. So, while I do still recognize Neuv's pros and powerlevel, I can see why some would start to hate him and think him "overrated"

The first rerun are usually just few patches away from the debut date. But of course, few patches mean half a year or a bit more. You can always wait for her trial before deciding.

[@aetherhae]

I need to correct one thing stated in the video. In order to max out his passive, Neuvillette needs three HYDRO reactions, meaning something along the lines of, Crystallize, Electro Charge, and Bloom, Hyperbloom wouldn't count towards his buff total, so without C1, his personal damage takes a hit in Double Hydro teams. So basically, in order to maximize his DPS with Furina (the two have insane synergy), he needs C1. Other than that, mostly agree!

[@ChainsSSB]

Thats to maximize his damage, but Furina's damage boost is so high that you're getting a higher damage output running the two together than you would with a different element even without c1.

[@s_mai8970]

His C1 makes his personal damage goes up, hence why I picked it up but in truth, he really doesn't need it all. Or more precisely, his team doesn't need it considering the amount of already good selection of off-fielders in the game that synergizes well with his kit and element. You can literally slot in "bad" characters like Dehya and he will deal huge damage regardless. My favorite Neuvillette team ever since release has always been Nahida/any off field dendro, Kuki/Raiden, Dehya and Neuvillette. This team deals so much damage it's actually laughable

[@aetherhae]

@@ChainsSSB Your statement is very much dependent on artifact quality. I've run some calcs, and there are very much Neuvillette Teams at C0 without Furina that can match or surpass the DPS. It's all about team building. But I wanted to mention it because in the video, he makes it appear as if Hyperbloom contributes to Neuvillette's Passive count. That's all.

[@aetherhae]

@@s_mai8970 Trust me, I know. I'm saying that C1 is moreso wanted in Furina teams, because he only has 2 reactions in those teams. That's all :)

[@ChainsSSB]

@@aetherhae well obviously, I'm talking about how if you're putting a 3rd reaction on the team just for the sake of activating the 160% boost on him, then you should still be running Furina as you still get 125% from 2 reactions plus the 75% damage boost Furina gives without also factoring in the damage her skill provides.

[@lancerguy3667]

A normal DPS has a team of three supports. Usually a sub DPS, a reaction enabler, and a sustain. Neuvillette has a team of three cheerleaders, who apply their element once every 30 seconds, then get out of the way and let him handle everything else.

[@markvicferrer]

I don't have C1, so I pair Neuvillette with Layla for shielding. Her periodic ice stars freeze enemies in place perfectly for his hydro pump.

[@duongnguyen-s1i]

for me the c1 is already c0. a lot of the time u will encounter an enemy who has an elemental atk or they themself becomes the element themself if its not hydro then neuvi can trigger a reaction already. for me is overpower like he has 0 weakness while someone like ayato who isnt the strongest but has a balance kit.

[@f4llenleaves]

His downsides have so many workarounds. Gets interrupted at C0? You can float far away enough from enemies to anticipate incoming attacks. Can't use NA-dependent sub-dps? We have a LOT of other 4* and 5* options and that'd mean you can run units like xingqiu or yelan on the other side. Unlike other damage dealers, he doesn't need niche supports, or even supports at all. He's a powerhouse on his own and a comfortable one at that. The self-battery and self-heal is insane, it's unbelievable. With C1 and Tome he becomes truly braindead to play

[@raykay47420]

Whoever balanced this guy did it with their eyes closed. I know people will still pull for their favorites but I'm sure comparisons can't be helped and it could potentially affect pulling decisions for past/future main DPS's, because they pale in comparison to how brain-dead OP neuv is.

Now that I think about it, having a Pyro Neuvillette that scales off of attack sounds exactly like what Pyro Archon should be.

The drawback would be having no shields, heals or damage reduction on the armor, nor any HP or DEF scalings. Just straight up raw ATK scaling fire power. 🔥🔥🔥

[@joshuawilliams4741]

@@Gnidel I was thinking about some support roles for the Pyro Archon, but I feel like she should at least have a strong on-field presence. Every Archon seems to be focused on enhancing a certain aspect of gameplay: Venti: Facilitating swirlable elements with RES shred and recovering energy. Zhongli: Facilitates Protection via Shields Geo constructs and Crystallizing other elements. Raiden: Facilitating Elemental Bursts by boosting damage and recovering energy. Nahida: Facilitates Elemental Reactions with EM sharing and constant Dendro application. Furina: Enables HP Drain/HP Recovery mechanics. The Pyro Archon should either boost Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG or Elemental Skill DMG which scale off of her ATK. I also thought about her converting her ATK into CR (max 25%) and CDMG (max 50%) and applying it to the entire party. The CR and CMG have slightly less value than a CR/CDMG circlet (31%/63%), but can enable characters to build into other stats. The Explosive Reactive Armor was a personal inspired by Sundowner from MGR. Him being a crazed warmonger and his theme “Red Sun” fit the Land of War and the Lady of Fire perfectly.

[@a-passerby]

@@Accountthatexists rumours, I don't know for sure either..... For evidence I used in my reasoning 1) Xbalanque is the guy that introduces Neuvillette in his drip marketing in the Twitter/X post.... So I think, in order for someone to give such comments on Neuvillette, they also have to be somewhat powerful, Neuvillette also said that Natlan is nation of dragons, hence it's not a far fetched theory that this guy isn't the Pyro Sovereign himself! So, being a Pyro Sovereign, he gotta have as good of a kit as Neuvillette does right?? 2) All Archons are known for their off-field supporting capabilities.... So similarly, I think Pyro Archon will also be a sub-dps or pure support or something like that..... Which is like Xiangling or Thoma.... Its too early to get confirmed leaks anyways, Natlan is atleast 5 months away.... So, this is just my theory, would be glad if it's true to the word, will be happy if it isn't either....

Arlecchino's kit has been leaked and it seems like she was designed to not work with furina because one of her passives makes it so that she cannot receive healing from other teamates when in combat. And with the way her kit works, you would lose damage even if you could be healed.
