I was already writing my angry comment, but it was so long that I got to the actually good part of the video in time to delete it and write this instead…
Neuvillette stans clicking dislike when you daid Hutao and Heitham are better dealing with bosses 💀
Neuvillette probably has almost 0 flaws as a main dps (except off field and interruption). Also if u think he is overrated just becuz he isn't top 1 in st that doesn't make sense also alhaithm not better than him in st nor hutao except lyney xiao.
1 min into this and I already subscribe!
Im ready to take all the glazing and backshots to protect and batchest nevuwet
As a C0R0 Neuvillette batchest I was concerned at the start. But your take is super valid, I agree completely.
Lil kid is again crying taking his momma's phone , go return it kiddo
This dude is just click baiting one after the other and people are eating it up like termites its crazy..
First hyperbloom, then national, now neuvilette.. Being a contrarion just for the sake of contrarion is just pointless and clock bait
hello !! diehard neuvi enjoyer here (long ass paragraph beware)
i find that generally neuvi glazers (those insane "c1r1>c6 yelan" people) that go out of their way to place him so astronomically much higher in their mental rankings than any other dps that the uprising that's resulted on most genshin forums takes away from his merits and results in the "overrated" label 🙁
yeah, he's (subjectively!) lovely to play, negates skill issue, "solos" etc but this is SO blown out of proportion and repeated over and over again that most neuvi stans as of late are just perceived as no braincell activation one button coomers that enjoy telling you how great he is at solo clearing the abyss.
as character merits outside of the meta were mentioned towards the end of the vid, it's also detrimental to those for him because of how defining a factor meta is in the way he's perceived. majority of sane neuvi stans know just how well he's written, how much love went into his design, voice acting and other reasons to like a character which are just entirely overshadowed by "haha ur noobillette main boring gameplay go get hu tao she does more damage" (speaking from personal experience)
a little bit of my own bias here but, 9 times out of 10 if you're looking for more abyss stars (not considering abyss speedruns because those are attributed to characters like c6 lyney, ganyu, wrio etc) neuvi is going to be the easiest answer but whether he's gonna make your genshin experience more fun is subjective.
he might be the "best" dps by merits of solo capability, ease of use, team flexibility, vertical investment and damage return for investment but not necessarily always the "strongest".
might also just be the strongest c6 (subjective) but that's such a small minority of neuvi players that it's not worth going into big rants and comparisons about anyway!
please don't take unhinged neuvillette supremacists too seriously but he's definitely worth your consideration regardless🫶
Absolutely. People saw the fact that he was able to solo abyss on release and now that’s the only argument they have in every dps related comment section, when almost every other character is able to do so.
Great video. I still don't get why people are mad. i believe everything said was reasonable… please upload more of these
Lies
nah neuvillette hyperbloom solos 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Neuv stans have a hard time swallowing this pill, looking at these comments 💀
I dont wanna name the people who should watched this video but there is a lot 😭
What I love about Neuvillette is he is a dps woth not a lot of weaknesses, however I think the term Jack of all trades but a master of none definitely applies to him, except he's almost a master in all of them
I would definitely consider Hu Tao to probably be the best single target dps with similar levels of investments
Your first "overrated" video i agree with lel
the only "broken" aspect of this character is his healing lol, they didn't do the math right and left him with too much healing, the intended team for him was with Furina so it would make sense to have some healing, his damage is about the same as the others dps or even ayato or childe in their respective teams.. people love to take some c0 neuv with great artifacts and say "see? f2p friendly and very strong" except if you get hit you just did zero damage, well there is an easy fix for that as usual.. "just pull for zhongli" ah yes, the old "just get another 5 star", not to mention that Furina another 5 star is the best character to bring with him
.
tldr: he heals too much, thats more important for the players with zero hand dexterity than the damage, even if he did half the damage they would call him the dragon god saiyan 4
Neuv is the best at any multiwave/aoe abyss in general, single target he loses to many other carrys. however the multiwave prowess of neuv and his ability to keep up with the best in ST makes him so good. cant speak for f2p but if you compare all c6r5 dps he is probably the best pick if you were just to have one objectively speaking.
I do have to say though, he is really consistent and easy, and that quality is very important for mobile players like me. Mind you I play hu tao, gaming, tighnari, nahida, etc. Neuvillete is so easy and consistent that I find myself gravitating towards him for at least one side of the abyss. Just an overall high performer who is also very accessible in terms of team options and weapon options.
I do think people over rate him in terms of his solo damage, but his teams are always high performing and more importantly consistent.
6:29 to 6:31
This is the one thing that always grinded my gears whenever I heard the nuev glazing. When Ayato first came out so many people gave him shade for essentially a one button playstyle (he has other flaws but that's not the point), but when Neuvillete has the exact same gameplay with the only difference being he's just better has always rubbed me the wrong way. Like fine if you like Neuv's gameplay then that's fine but to say it's something revolutionary is wrong.
Edit: Homie saw the Vars video and thought enough was enough.
yea i agree and as i can allready see the people in the comments are allready proving ur point. yes hes S tier main dps. but people just praise him to the point its not funny anymore. and as soon as you critizise these people its always the "nuh uh hes THE BEST HE CAN SOLO ABYSS" like duh i remember seeing fischl abyss solo runs like since the first abyss lol (dont get me wrong shes also S tier) the praise for him is truly a new level. what i also want to add is that i dont think the true strengh of nuevilette are his c1r1 cababilities but the way that he is very friendly for new players or f2p players. one of his best weapons is a craftable one and his best artefact set is in an incredible resin efficient domain
error wrong answer forehead
Is he as big of a fraud as KT tho?
The whiplash from realizing it was a joke after the "you're better off using xingqiu comment" to going back into "ok but for real" lol
Surreal to see someone using the term "overrated" properly, can't even call it clickbait.
i agree with all your point except, you have to spend money to get c1, nah just save and be smart about your primogems, im f2p and still can get him c1 because win the 50/50 tho, but if you not win the 50/50 just wait for his rerun and get his c1
make another hot take about albedo "getting powercrept" by chiori
His early gains per pity you spend on his team are unmatched.
Real man pulls itto and runs that one mono geo comp where yun jin and albedo are only there bc you neef 4ppl in a team and only gorou is useful and can actually buff your 6k atk 5k def 87% crit rate 345% crit damage itto that automatically becomes useless against enemies with an elemental shield that's not cryo or geo
Thanks for highlighting my glaze. 😎
Now tell me where I’m wrong: how is he not a complete team on his own when he’s commonly found among the top 20 most used abyss team comps…solo?
Tell me when you see Alhaitham, hutao or lyney solos in abyss as a top 20 “most used comp” (by defn most used != whale c6 but rather what the general community has access to).
Aside from ease of use I think the lack of need for investment also plays a role. He ascends with crit damage and has a signature artifact set that gives him 36% crit rate essentially for free. Speaking from personal experience, I don't have Neuvilette but I do have Furina and since I farmed Golden Troupe for her I already have a bunch of great Hunter pieces for Neuvilette when I hopefully get him this patch.
He can solo the game but his synergy with other teammates just requires them to do any reaction to give his charged attack a dmg bonus even if you don't have them built well enough to support him. The examples you have in this video like Childe, Alhaitham, and Xiao do require some teammates to be invested in and the carries themselves need a lot of good artifacts and weapons to perform well. Basically he's just one of the most convenient characters to both build and play, and even if he was on the same level or slightly better than the competition that fact alone makes him likely the best DPS in the game.
Wana hear this: Hydro/Cyro slimes vs Neuvillette.
Dragon is bad. Makes short game shorter and has no effect on dialogue/exploring so ruins game experience entirely. Better off pulling character that can deal with all Genshin's combat shenanigans w/o cutting your game time to zero.
I was going for kazuha and then dump the rest on Neuvillette but arlchino leaks convinced me man I'm saving the rest for her. Sure I want Neuvillette for his status in the plot with a complementary strong kit. but his gameplay looks like it's going to be boring a week later after having him so I'm not so head over heals for him.
kazuha in the other hand is a must pull in my case since I have childe built and he would make him a lot more fun to play than he is already + international with sucrose is a little painful to play even tho it's not weak
his easiness of use is my biggest issue with him kit. he's the equivalent of a noob tube. he's great at what he does, sure, just not my cup of tea.
Who are the top 5 onfield chars for ST and AoE in terms of dps?
It feels like Neuvillette is basically the modern day Hu Tao. People speak so highly of him, even in regards that aren’t necessarily true. I remember getting frustrated as all heck by people calling Hu Tao a “big dumb damage” hypercarry. Because, while I acknowledge that she has very impressive damage, it is misleading to make it seem like she’s this easy plug and play unit. Hu Tao is more like a high maintenance, high reward type unit. Neuvillette by contrast is definitely not the most OP unit out there, but he is absolutely the most easy to use. I’d argue he’s much more deserving of the title of “big dumb damage” because you don’t have to worry too much about investment. It’s likely that it’s that same ease of use that has resulted in people having an inflated opinion of him.
Do you think the abyss blessing and the abyss itself of 4.1-4.2 inflated the rating of Neuvillette? Because I personally think it did.
I may or may not have already recommended a at 45 player to pull for neuvi kazuha and arlecchino not matter what🌚
Short answer why: childe clears faster
As long as I can solo clear 1 side of abyss with him at c0 and without his sig, he'll be the strongest character in the game imo.
Maybe not the faster in every scenario, but the best overall.
