Neuvillette wants to hit his Energy Recharge goal whilst building up his offensive stats.
How much Energy Recharge Neuvillette needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | Burst Every Rotation |
|---|---|
| Double Hydro | 120-130% |
| Solo Hydro | ~160% |
| Reduction per team Favonius Trigger | -10% |
| Reduction from Tome of the Eternal Flow/Prototype Amber | -30% |

Neuvillette’s Charged Attack: Equitable Judgement scales off his Normal Attacks, making them a priority to level. His character level should also be focused on because of it being the only way to improve his base HP. His Burst and Skill are used in rotations, but contribute a fairly low share of his damage and are a low priority.
When using Neuvillette’s Charged Attack, releasing the attack input right as three Sourcewater Droplets are absorbed allows Neuvillette to fire off the Charged Attack almost instantly rather than having to wait for the startup animation. Due to how often his Charged Attack is used, this cancel is very beneficial to perform. Another tech involving his Charged Attack is generally only easily executable if using a mouse and keyboard. Due to 0.4 second interval between damage instances to a given enemy, Neuvillette can spin around rapidly while still getting all 8 instances of damage from his Charged Attack. This allows him to hit enemies in a full AoE around him without needing to move for proper positioning.
If Neuvillette is short of Energy for his Burst in a rotation, he can opt to sit through the 4 second startup to launch his Charged Attack. While Neuvillette should generally try to avoid this, it can be useful in certain situations such as Stygian starts.

Genshin Impact 5★ Hydro Catalyst Main DPS
Tome of the Eternal Flow tops the weapon ranking for Neuvillette, at 114% relative damage at R1 in the DPS - Team column, ahead of Sacrificial Jade, Surf's Up and Reliquary of Truth. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.

Talent priority is Normal Attack > character level >> Burst = Skill. The Elemental Burst costs 70 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Neuvillette's abilities multiply HP. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Everlasting Moonglow is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star catalyst with HP as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on HP. Ring of Yaxche is the best 4-star alternative.
Heart of Depth. Its 2-piece bonus is: Hydro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s.
