Mastering Neuvillette Best Team Compositions in Genshin Impact 2025
As a dedicated Genshin Impact player since its launch, I've spent countless hours experimenting with team compositions, and Neuvillette, the Hydro Dragon and Chief of Justice from Fontaine, has consistently been one of my top picks for dominating battles. His unique mechanics revolve around his Charged Attack, unleashing a powerful water torrent over long distances, supported by Sourcewater Droplets from his Skill and Burst that instantly charge this ability. To maximize his potential, I focus on feeding his second Ascension passive, which demands frequent Elemental Reactions in team setups, amplifying his damage output significantly. With the latest updates as of 2025, including new characters like Xilonen, Neuvillette remains a powerhouse DPS, and I've refined several team comps that leverage his strengths for both single-target bosses and mobs. 🐉💧
Top Meta Team: Neuvillette, Furina, Xilonen, and Zhongli
In my testing, this team stands out as the absolute best for Neuvillette in the current meta. Furina synergizes perfectly with Neuvillette, buffing his damage through her Elemental Burst while he rapidly loses and regains HP to maximize her effects. Zhongli provides a rock-solid shield and shreds Hydro resistance, making attacks hit harder. Xilonen adds incredible value with her debuffs and artifacts, granting a massive 40% Elemental DMG boost; her signature weapon, Peak Patrol Song, tacks on another 25% DMG increase. Although adding Xilonen reduces Elemental Reactions, triggering Hydro Crystallize three times easily stacks Neuvillette's passive, allowing him to deal slightly more damage than older comps like Furina-Zhongli-Kazuha. The buffs last longer too, giving Neuvillette extended field time. Here's how each character fits:
-

-
Neuvillette: Main DPS and Hydro enabler, dealing sustained torrent damage.
-
Furina: Sub-DPS and buffer, enhancing team DMG through HP fluctuations.
-
Xilonen: Support, buffer, debuffer, and healer, boosting overall DMG with her artifacts.
-
Zhongli: Shielder and debuffer, reducing resistance for massive Hydro amplification.
This comp excels in prolonged fights, especially against tough bosses, thanks to its high durability and consistent DPS. I've cleared Abyss floors effortlessly with this setup! 🔥
High-Damage Alternative: Neuvillette, Furina, Kazuha, and Zhongli
For players who prefer more Elemental Reactions, this team is a solid runner-up. Neuvillette and Furina form an unbeatable duo, with Furina's buffs activating quickly as Neuvillette cycles his HP. Zhongli shields against interruptions, crucial for uninterrupted Charged Attacks, while Kazuha groups enemies, shreds resistance, and boosts Hydro DMG. In my runs, this comp melts enemies fast, though it slightly lags behind the Xilonen version in sustained damage. Key roles:
-

-
Neuvillette: Main DPS, focusing on Hydro application.
-
Furina: Buffer and Sub-DPS, maximizing DMG through her Burst.
-
Kazuha: Debuffer and crowd control, using Viridescent Venerer for resistance reduction.
-
Zhongli: Shielder, ensuring Neuvillette stays safe during attacks.
This is ideal for quick clears, especially against grouped enemies, but requires precise timing to avoid disruptions.
Budget F2P Team: Neuvillette, Sucrose, Lisa, and Ororon
As a free-to-play enthusiast, I love this affordable yet effective setup. Lisa and Sucrose debuff enemy DEF and RES, while Ororon triggers Electro-Charged reactions to boost Neuvillette's DMG. Build Lisa with Noblesse Oblige for ATK buffs and high Elemental Mastery, wielding Hakushin Ring to amplify Electro and Hydro DMG. Sucrose should use Viridescent Venerer to shred resistances and share EM. Ororon shines in Electro-Charged scenarios, entering Nightsoul's Blessing for extra DMG. Here's the breakdown:
-

-
Neuvillette: Main DPS, applying Hydro continuously.
-
Sucrose: Support with CC and debuffs.
-
Lisa: Buffer and Electro enabler, key for reactions.
-
Ororon: Sub-DPS and battery, enhancing Electro output.
This team is fantastic for exploring overworld content, though it struggles a bit in high-level Abyss due to lower survivability. 😊
Hyperbloom Variations
Hyperbloom teams are versatile, and I've tested multiple with Neuvillette leading the charge.
With Raiden and Nahida
This comp leverages Neuvillette's continuous Hydro application alongside Raiden's Electro and Nahida's Dendro to create deadly Hyperblooms. Furina adds buffs without needing a healer, as Neuvillette self-heals. Roles:
-

-
Neuvillette: Main Hydro enabler.
-
Furina: Sub-DPS for DMG amplification.
-
Raiden Shogun: Electro enabler and Hyperbloom trigger.
-
Nahida: Dendro enabler, ensuring constant reactions.
Perfect for AoE scenarios, but less effective against single bosses.
With Kuki and Kazuha
Another Hyperbloom favorite, featuring Kuki Shinobu triggering reactions and Kazuha debuffing Hydro RES. Nahida enables Dendro, while Neuvillette drives the team. This lacks a shielder, so positioning is key—I recommend it for mobile players who dodge well.
-
Neuvillette: DPS core.
-
Nahida: Buffer and Dendro applier.
-
Kuki Shinobu: Healer and Electro trigger.
-
Kazuha: Debuffer for resistance shred.
Great for versatility, with easy artifact setups like Deepwood Memories on Nahida.
Vaporize Team: Neuvillette, Nahida, Xiangling, and Zhongli
For Vaporize-focused damage, this team excels against bosses. Xiangling's Pyronado enables Vaporize reactions, Nahida applies Dendro for Burning, and Zhongli shields for uninterrupted attacks. Build Xiangling for high Pyro application, but beware of range limits against mobs.
-

-
Neuvillette: Main DPS, triggering Hydro.
-
Nahida: Dendro enabler for reactions.
-
Xiangling: Pyro sub-DPS, enabling Vaporize.
-
Zhongli: Shielder, crucial for Neuvillette's Charged Attacks.
Ideal for boss fights, though it requires close combat.
Team Comparison and Recommendations
To help choose the best comp, here's a quick comparison based on my playthroughs:

Key factors:

Artifacts: Prioritize HP% and Hydro DMG for Neuvillette; supports like Xilonen benefit from Cinder City set.
-
Rotation Tips: Start with shields/debuffs, then unleash Neuvillette's Charged Attack for peak DMG.
In summary, as of 2025, Neuvillette remains a top-tier DPS, and with new characters like Xilonen, his teams have only gotten stronger. Whether you're a whale or F2P, these comps will help you dominate the battlefield. Happy gaming! 🎮
