Unveiling the Intriguing Secret Behind Neuvillete's Mesmerizing Idle Animation in Genshin Impact

Highlights

Neuvillette, the Hydro catalyst user in Genshin Impact, has an interesting detail in his idle animation where he applies the Wet effect on himself.

Neuvillette's kit is centered around sacrificing his HP to boost his damage output. However, his HP drain is limited to 50%, making him less susceptible to damage compared to other DPS units like Hu Tao or Xiao.

In addition, Neuvillette's Charged Attack unleashes a powerful Hydro beam that inflicts AoE damage. Furthermore, his Passive Talents provide him with buffs for triggering elemental reactions, making him most effective when paired with a team consisting of various elemental abilities.

A Genshin Impact enthusiast has shared a captivating video that highlights an intriguing aspect of one of the newly introduced characters, Neuvillette, a Hydro catalyst user. Neuvillette is featured in the ongoing Limited Character banner, along with Hu Tao, a Pyro polearm user, who is making her third appearance.

For Genshin Impact players interested in adding either of these characters to their collection, there is a two-week window before the banner expires on October 17. Neuvillette, a member of the Fontaine character lineup, holds the esteemed position of Chief Justice in the Hydro nation.

Every character in Genshin Impact has idle animations that can be triggered by staying inactive for a short period. While most of these animations don't have a major impact on the active character, some of Neuvillette's idle animations have a special interaction. A Reddit user named ImTheButterMan shared a video showing that Neuvillette's idle animation causes him to apply the Wet effect on himself. By being inactive while using Neuvillette, his idle animation creates rain that applies the Wet effect, and as a Hydro user, he can stop the raindrops mid-air and reverse the animation. Many fans in the comments said they didn't notice this interaction while using Neuvillette.

The post gained a lot of attention, receiving over 4k upvotes on the game's main subreddit. Neuvillette has one of the most unique kits in the game, as it revolves around sacrificing his HP to increase his damage potential. Fortunately, the HP drain is limited to 50%, and Hydro users typically build high HP, so Neuvillette is generally not at risk of being one-shot like other DPS units such as Hu Tao or Xiao.

Neuvillette, like Ganyu or Tighnari, possesses a unique Charged Attack that unleashes a potent Hydro beam, resulting in substantial AoE damage. One of his Passive Talents grants him a notable boost to Charged Attacks when triggering various elemental reactions in Genshin Impact.

For this reason, Neuvillette is most effectively utilized within a diverse team composition that includes characters with different elements capable of initiating multiple elemental reactions. To enhance their damage potential, players should aim to acquire Neuvillette's signature weapon, Tome Of The Eternal Flow, which offers substantial bonuses to Crit Rate, HP, and Charged Attacks.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
