Genshin Impact Version 4.1 is coming very soon, and developer HoYoverse is here to bring players up to speed. The latest trailer is dedicated to one of the two new characters coming in the update. Check it out to learn more about Neuvillette, the Chief Justice of Fontaine.
“As a Fontainian playwright would tell you, if a member of the audience could somehow participate in the action on stage, perhaps they’d have a deeper understanding of what was actually going on. Only when he emerged from the water and stepped onto the stage would he truly begin to understand the plot, the characters… even himself.”
Neuvillette is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst character that will be available in the first phase of Version 4.1. As a judge, he is renowned for his unassailable impartiality. But, seeing how he addressed Navia during the Archon Quest, is it as unassailable as it seems? He is also known to have a soft spot for Melusines!
Neuvillette’s role is to deal damage mainly through his Charged Attacks. They unleash a surging torrent, dealing continuous AoE Hydro damage to all opponents in a straight line in front of him. For the duration of this attack, Neuvillette can move freely and adjust the direction.
His Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst create Sourcewater Droplets around him. When storing energy for his Charged Attack, he can absorb the Droplets within a certain area to restore his own HP while reducing the time required to fully charge his torrent.
His Arkhe is Pneuma, like the Traveler’s, and will unleash a Spiritbreath Thorn to pierce his opponents.
Suddenly the Rain Stops Web-Event
Additionally, HoYo is holding a small web-event “Suddenly the Rain Stops”, featuring Neuvillette and a certain Melusine. Completing it grants a number of in-game rewards, including a small number of Primogems. Check it out on the official site!
“When the rain begins to fall, pedestrians hurry through the squall. But when it abruptly ceases, the sense of loneliness increases.”
