Neuvillette
Who is Neuvillette?
Neuvillette is a 5★ Hydro Catalyst Main DPS and the Iudex (Chief Justice) of Fontaine. His enhanced Charged Attack, Equitable Judgment, fires a continuous AoE Hydro beam that scales with his Max HP, making him a flexible, beginner-friendly hypercarry who fits Hyperbloom, Vaporize, Freeze, and mono/double-Hydro teams. His one caveat: he is easily interrupted mid-Charged-Attack, so a shielder is strongly recommended at C0. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/Neuvillette-Best-Builds
Kit Summary
After absorbing Sourcewater Droplets, his Charged Attack becomes a continuous Max-HP-scaling Hydro beam — the bulk of his damage.
Deals Hydro damage and generates Sourcewater Droplets to power his enhanced Charged Attacks.
Large AoE Hydro damage that also generates Droplets.

F2P Verdict
One of the most F2P-friendly 5★ DPS: the forgeable Prototype Amber is near best-in-slot for him.
Build HP% on Sands and Goblet (Hydro DMG also good), CRIT on Circlet; he scales on Max HP.
Bring a shielder such as Zhongli at C0 — he is interrupted easily during his Charged Attack. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/Neuvillette-Best-Builds
