2. The fact that we haven’t gotten a single limited 5-star female character in a full year is insane. Furina and Arlecchino will likely be the first new female banners and both of those characters look like men masquerading as women or androgenous at best. When will we get cute & sexy, feminine females again? Nahida and Nilou were the last ones… Now don’t get me wrong, Lynette is undeniably very sexy indeed, BUT she is a freaking 4-star (and a particularly weak 4-star at that). Charlotte looks pretty cute too, but likely to be 4-star as well. When will this lunacy end? I’ve got over $20k spare spending funds with literally NOTHING to buy. Over 60k Primogems saved up as of writing this too. Just returned from a 4-month Genshin abstinence period, and I am extremely dissatisfied with the outlook for the 4.X patches. Not to mention Fontaine is way smaller than I expected, so even the exploration is lacking so far.

   Shit sucks. I guess being frugal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, eh? Well, I hope you people enjoy your husbandos. I just wish I was allowed to purchase things I enjoy too…

   • Sadly genshin’s a baby game, your better off taking your money and investing it and getting free mods to make chars sexier. Or, find a better game with sexy waifus.

     • “He has a point”

       The man described Nahida as a “cute & sexy feminine female.” He has no point.

       Since Nilou’s release, there has literally only been 4 new men in total. In order, Wanderer, Alhaitham, Dehya (a woman), Baizhu, and Lyney. Neuvillette and Wriothesley will come next, which will give us a 4 character streak for male 5 stars. None of you complained when the 4 character streak was Ayaka, Yomiya, Raiden, and Kokomi… But suddenly it’s different because it doesn’t cater to you lmao.

       The banners after Nilou have also had 14 female reruns, 16 if you’re a ped and count children, and 8 male reruns, 10 if we count 4.0 second half. In total, banners have had 15/18 women/girls and 14 men from the time between Nilou’s release, and ver 4.0.

       Y’all are just so used to the ratio of characters being 65% waifus and 35% husbando, that when we actually almost get 50/50 for 5 stars (which, the playerbase is almost 50/50 might I add), you mald.

       I guess you’re right in that he has a point. His point is that he’s a whiny boy having a mantrum because he doesn’t have new waifus to jerk off to in an anime gacha game lmao.

         • bro can’t accept facts and reply to them with cringier responses. what a cringe guy.

         • Yup, you said it best! There really are a lot of cringe idiots playing Genshin, and you’re the biggest one. You’re literally defending someone who said “Nahida was the last sexy character we got”. Ok, I didn’t know Jared Fogle and Bill Cosby were out of prison already. Bet the only reason you want more young sexy girl characters is because you both had your fair share of “footlongs” and “pudding pops” in the prison shower room 😉

       • Ah yes, the typical “muh pedo” accusations and “only like women characters to jack off”, whatever makes yout insecure self feel better. Sad.

       • I explicitly said “LIMITED 5-star females” so your entire argument falls apart. Go reread the OP.

         Standard 5-Stars are usually far less desirable than their Limited counterparts, as all of us are well aware. Don’t play dumb just so you can push your disingenuous stance. You literally fabricated a strawman out of thin air.

         And yes, whether you want to admit it or not, Nahida is most assuredly one of the sexiest & cutest characters ever created by miHoYo. She is my beautiful wife and I got her C6 literally day one with zero regrets. I’m willing to pay lots of money for things I like, but miHoYo simply has not been providing me with much to get excited about as of late. Thus the reason for the frustration which prompted the creation of my initial post. I don’t like other gatcha due to their inherently terrible gameplay systems, so it’s not like I have any alternatives. Genshin is the sole exception. All I want is a fun, immersive, big-budget open-world game with extremely satisfying exploration and traversal systems that is not afraid to titillate the player with sexy female characters. Which is precisely the role Genshin used to fill until recently. Not only are there no other gatcha that can successfully fill that niche but even the entire modern gaming industry as a whole has nothing to offer that can satisfy my aforementioned criteria. I own all current-gen videogame platforms with literally nothing to purchase. Surely you can understand how frustrating that must be, right? After all, I worked my freaking ass off for years just so I could afford such luxuries.

         I don’t understand why people like you need to be so toxic though. I even said in my OP “I hope you people enjoy your husbandos” I have no ill will toward your kind, we just like different things. And there’s nothing wrong with catering to different types of people. But pandering exclusively to the husbando lovers for a FULL YEAR with zero limited 5-star females is not a fair situation no matter how you look at it.

3. F2P friendly? ✔️
   Has a lot of team comps that work well with Neuvillette? ✔️
   Can work with Beidou? ✔️ (Unlike failed Raiden Midgun)
   Has great numbers and will do a lot of damage due to scaling with HP and Crit? ✔️
   Has a fun and unique kit? ✔️
   Will be the number 1 Hydro on-fielder? ✔️

   • Agree for the most part , f2p it’s kind mixed cuz he’s easy to build stat wise on artifacts but his weapon choice is kinda garbage at f2p, pretty much only weapon is proto amber and the rest are just stat sticks for crit if you have em’. Also his 4th teammate is hard to pull off at C0 cuz of how his reaction passive works requiring what I presume is 3 unique reactions zhong fills in crystalize however beidou is electro and you already would have fischl on the team so you don’t get his full dmg. You could use layla but you’ll deal overall less dmg vs having zhong so if you’re an f2p and don’t have zhong then options become quite limited.

     As for hydro on-fielder it’s an ok criteria to tick off if , there wasn’t a “need” for one cuz his competition was just mona, ayato , childe and barb/koko, childe is just a driver and ayato is a driver/dps for taser so if that’s where Neuv currently competes at and does succeed but it’s not that having an on fielder makes a big diff for hydro cuz you had off fielders like xing , yelan and koko E so in the grand scheme of things for hydro there’s nothing ground breaking about being an on field dps with existing hydro chars

       • Kazuha is already in the team…currently standard team for him is Neuv + Kazuha + fischl + zhong , this way you trigger 3 diff reactions ( EC , swirl , crystalize ) and that gives you 3 stack. Beidou is only there if you don’t have zhong but that now means you don’t get the 3 stacks because now it’s Neuv + fischl + Beidou + Kazuha. So you come back to square 1 , who do you replace zhong for if you don’t have him and beidou is your only option? i think maybe Layla but she provides no good utility besides a shield.

         • Dehya will work. You won’t have 100% IR but you will also have a far easier time getting vaporize from Dehya than crystallize off of Zhongli. Plus vaporize is a better reaction than crystallize, even if the vaporizer does doo-doo damage. Zhongli could use Archaic Petra ofc but you will inevitably come into problems retrieving the elemental shard and you must specifically collect it with Zhongli.
           Dehya would be an E-bot DPS. You could either use 4pc Vourukasha’s Glow, or 4pc Golden Troupe.

           Otherwise, you will have to settle for a healer since Neuvilllette’s DPS goes down throughout the duration of his CA, as a result of how his A4 functions. To start off, NEuvillette has a minimum of 12% innate hydro dmg bonus after draining his HP with CA. To gain the maximum 30% hydro dmg bonus, he would need to be at 80% of his max HP or higher. Neuvillette heals himself during the Charge-up phase, then drains it down at the Unleash phase of his Charged attack.. So a strong healer or a rapid high healer is recommended.

           Here’s the choices: Jean, Sayu, Barbara, Kokomi, Baizhu, Bennett, Diona conditionally, and Dori. Unironically, Dori is a super solid choice since she will continually generate energy for Neuvillette who really needs it to get 2 of 3 free Charged attacks. Dori would still run heavily on ER and HP, but so far, electro-charged and energy is provided.

           hydro resonance is not stronger than the CA buff on A1 unless it is overall meaningful to the party, so it’s Dehya, Baizhu, bennett, Diona under high ER, and Dori under high ER. Those are your healing options.

   • I fucking hate that they dont let beidou’s burst triggered by raiden >.<, but xingqiu yelan …
     They nerfed her so much

   • A’ight i’m gonna try not to be rude or anything but none of what you wrote makes sense. Dehya would not work well because the interruption resist is pretty bad and limited and has a smaller duration compared to zhong shield and the vapes would pretty much be useless because not only do you have ICD on Neuv’s CA to deal with but Dehya E triggers every 2.5s so out of 12s skill you’d be lucky to get 3-4 vapes on his CA. Also why do you want to collect the crystalize shards on zhong? you already have a shield with him so it’s pointless to get those shards because you just need to cause a crystalize reaction not actually have a crystalize shield on you…

     You also don’t need a healer if you’re running zhong because Neuv’s self healing is enough. You’re also wrong in that he first puts droplets on the field which you collect DURING the charge phase but you haven’t lost HP yet at this point because you only lose HP during the time you fire the hydro laser you can actually see this in gameplay vids as well that he only loses hp during the laser beam and not the charge up. Also i don’t think you read his passive correctly , all it says is that for every 1% over 30% max hp he gains 0.6% hydro dmg bonus and goes to 30% max. this is based on his MAX HP not CURRENT HP so like yelan or hu tao.

     Finally here none of these options you listed have good synergy with him at all
     Jean – Has bad cc and no valuable buffs to him besides VV swirl
     Sayu – Same like jean but worse
     Barb – once again no valuable buff or good off field dmg and means you sacrifice 1 stack because now you’re running double hydro
     Baizhu – again just healing and no buffs or off field dmg , he can at least trigger a 3rd reaction for 1 stack but that’s it and also weird how you talk about rapid healing but Baizhu healing is slow and delayed so idk how you got to that
     Bennett – great healing , can trigger 3rd reaction stack but his ATK buff is completely wasted here so also pointless to bring
     Diona – again…just healing and no dmg buffs and zero off field dmg and just there to kind of shield and apply 3rd stack of his passive( even tho her shielding is awful compared to zhong )
     Dori – Idk how you got to this also but her healing is decent-ish but no dmg buffs for Neuv and heavily energy hungry and also you’re not even triggering 3rd reaction passive for Neuv.

     With hydro reso it’s not that it’s not giving you good dmg vs his passive stack but it’s actually because currently there’s almost no hydro chars that have good synergy with him until Foca(maybe works with him).

     I would suggest re-reading these kits care fully and Neuv’s kit because most of this in the eyes of theorycrafters would make people roll their eyes.

     • You got some points, but the person you’re replying to is correct about how his third passive and the Archaic Petra set work. Neuvillette would ideally want to be at 80%+ hp at all times to get the full hydro damage bonus and the holder of Archaic Petra needs to pick up the shard to activate the set effect for the party.

       Also, Dori is a damn strong healer and battery, but that’s my personal opinion.

       • Yeah i was watching an older clip of Neuv kits so the HP part is correct however i still don’t see really justifying bringing a dedicated healer for him to constantly keep this passive up when it could be used to gain more dmg through buffs or overall team dps from other off field dmg chars. For

         For archaic as well i can see where he comes from with the dmg bonys from crystalize however this shouldn’t be considered a consistent form of buffing as well cuz A. zhong’s pillar dmg waves are very short ranged and you’re doomed if they get destroyed thus not triggering crystalize off field and B. since you do have electro it’s also possible you up an electro cryst shard and only buff electro and not hydro in some circumstances and i would also say that this buff isn’t as significant to Neuv since he already get multiple forms of hydro dmg bonus already and would rather want an hp buffer, resist shredder or CA buffer

         However i still stand by all my points on all of the char suggestions he has since they provide almost nothing to him besides healing , only opinion that changed was with Baizhu since his ult heals faster than his E but still at 2.5s intervals it’s slow-ish healing

4. I’m not good with meta stuff so I’m wondering. What are good teams for him? I think Kazuha/any crowd control would be good but other than that I’m a little stuck ?

   • honestly if his scalings stay like this he has little bad teams
     but besides that he appreciates a rainbow team, and i think taser with beidou or fischl, hyperbloom, vape and kind of hypercarry with kazuha and zhongli and flex will be nice too
     honestly beidou seems like one of his best teammates with the shield/interruption res and electro
     but yeah, he works nicely with quite a few characters, though i think you’d want somebody with a lot of energy generation for him too
     that’s the rundown

5. Since Archons usually rerun faster, I think I will guarantee Neuv instead, I only have enough for three 5 stars, so just in case I’ll lose I’ll get him. I can’t wait to hear his “when it rains” line

       • Yep, just like Childe Internationa, for example, the damage Childe contributes is close to 1:1 to Xiangling (with conditions you double swirls with Kazuha) with Xiangling having a slightly better ratio most of the time. It is similar if you use Ayato, the contribution skews towards Xiangling a little bit more than the Childe one. It’s shown that both of them act more like drivers for the team than the hypercarry itself.

         In Neuvillette’s case, His best team currently theorized for C0 is rainbow 3CA with Kazuha (VV), Zhongli (AP), Fischl (GT) with the distribution around ~60:25 for Neuvillete vs. Fischl and the rest is ~15 from Kazuha and negligible from Zhongli.

         • My national team has
           ~430000 from childe
           ~450000 from Xiangling
           ~60000 from Kazuha
           ~30000 from Bennett
           So althouth some people claim Childe doesn’t do dmg he actually does almost the same as Xiangling
           (my childe is 4pc nymph, 20 crit subs with r1 TF
           Xiangling is c6 with r5 catch 4pc SF 22 crit subs 200 ER
           Bennett is c6)

     • Neuvilette won’t get outdamaged by Xiangling because he shouldn’t be played with Xiangling
       If you use Xiangling it’ll be without Bennett and she won’t be doing much damage
       But if he could work with Xiangling she’d be outputting more dmg as usual

   • What I think they mean by “Strong Hydro Main DPS” is someone whose personal damage makes for a majority of the overall team damage. Yes we have characters like Ayato and Childe but in their best teams they’re usually enablers where the team damage is split between them and someone like Xiangling, XL usually dealing more dmg by a considerable margin.

     In my opinion Neuvillette is more akin to the likes of Xiao, Wanderer, and Al-Haitham (just to name a few) in the sense that in their best teams their raw personal dmg is a majority of the teams dmg. While you could argue that Ayato could fit into this category of DPS’ when paired with the likes of Yunjin it’s still pretty clear that he’s best used as an enabler due the sheer amount of Hydro he’s able to apply, relatively lower multipliers compared to others, and/or lack of big personal buffs.

     • I imagine that, nonetheless even xiao-wanderer-alhaitham are “weak” without a team. Everyone is. Someone is focused on NA, someone on E, someone on Q, so you have to see the total amount. Xiao could do more damage with plunging, and something with E, but it’s literally zero with burst (it’s just a trigger, not dmg in itself). Childe has less dps on his NA enabled with E, but also does a decent dmg with his Q.
       Considering neuvilette is not as good as childe for vape team (or better, he’s not meant for vape team as we have now) the total result could be fair compared. His water beam is strong af, but also he doesn’t apply a vape-riptide to mobs making them exploding.
       So to me it’s still nicely balanced.
       And im totally pulling for him

   • I meant to say CATALYST Strong Hydro Main DPS, so that is my fault. I understand that Childe and Ayato are in the game, althrough I do feel that Neuvillette will be stronger than those two in terms of both pure hydro damage and forward vape, in exchange for being more difficult to play with.

9. He is so majestic and is definitely the 100% Damage oriented Hydro Carry I’ve been waiting for… but he’s kinda sandwiched between Zhongli (the man who has masterfully dodged me on two whole banners already) and Furina (my beloved clown queen). Assuming 3rd time is the charm for old Meteor Man, anniversary is gonna have to carry me to the finish line.

   Wish I could convert Oathsworn Eye into an HP% weapon so I wouldn’t have to sell my soul hunting for more P.Amber copies.

   • I wish I could sell you 5 of my dozen billets – if I had half as much rng for artifacts as I did for billets I’d die a happy man

   • Furina will get rerun relatively soon after release most likely so I woyldn’t worry too hard about her
     If Neuvi is who you want get Neuvi, but you will have at least half of 4.1 to save for Neuvi still if you pull Schlongli

10. Happy to see that we will finally get a strong Hydro Main DPS unit in Neuvillette. This gentleman looks like he may be a (Forward) Vape God, with juicy numbers from the first hit of his ultimate, from his skill, and enhanced charge attack. My main concern would be if Xiangling burst would be able to keep reapply pyro enough to be consistent. Since it has no ICD, I assume it would.

    As others have speculated, I kinda wonder if Furina (the Hydro Archon) will work best as some sort of support for Neuvillette? I get the sense from the Archon quests (I won’t be specific on why to help avoid spoilers) that Furina is not as powerful as the other Archons, and Neuvillette seems closer in strength to the Archons. Based on the pattern of release for the other Archons, I assume Furina will be released in 4.2 so I guess we will find out from Beta footage and her eventual release at that time.

    • Vaguely curious if throwing slow dendro app to keep pyro uptime would make it doable – not sure about how pyro/dendro/hydro interact

    • Considering that archon’s have leaned more towards the support role so far. It’s a pretty reasonable assumption to have that furina will be a support. Hopefully she’ll be a generic support instead of niche. But I don’t want her to do something boring like X% hydro/element damage increase. Based on the fountain characters we’ve seen thus far it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s a NA/CA buffer.

    • I have a feeling hoyo still wants Furina to be Neuv’s best support despite his A1 passive, I think that’s why they’re baiting people with C1, so you can comfortably put another hydro in while having full stacks. Hopefully, Furina also has the Orb mechanic because I think it’ll just be fun to have a mechanic shared by other Hydro characters

      • I definitely see Furina as well as Fontaine hydro characters sharing the Droplet mechanic. So far, it’s been used as healing mechanic with Traveler and Neuvillette as well as quick-reload mechanic for Neuvillette. So, we could also see something like a stockpile mechanic with Dewdrops, maybe teamwide buffs through stacks based off Dewdrops absorbed, Dewdrop timebombs, Dewdrops that provide shields, Dewdrops that deal damage, could be poison DoT type damage, to enemies that step on them, etc.

        But the strongest theory for Furina other than simple deduction of being a support, is that she will use both pneuma and ousia alignments. It would be awesome if she could infuse your characters with pneuma or ousia alignment. I see Furina having a niche and a generalist side to her kit, with generalist being probably team-wide drain for a buff, but niche side being highly favored towards characters that drains their HP without Furina doing it, or something of that nature.
