Genshin Impact 4.5: Should You Pull For Neuvillette Or Kazuha?

Making an informed decision when pulling for Neuvillette or Kazuha in 4.5 can spare players a lot of Primogems, especially if they are already geared up to reach their pity soon. Neuvillette and Kazuha are both rerun characters and not actual debuting units, like Chiori in . Neuvillette made his debut as a playable character in Version 4.1, shortly after the release of Fontaine in 2023. Kazuha, on the other hand, first arrived years ago, back in Version 1.6, which was added to the action RPG right before the release of Inazuma in Version 2.0.

The two characters are significantly different from one another, though both are considered top-tier units for the jobs they perform on the battlefield. Neuvillette is a Hydro DPS with a unique mechanic that drains his life, while Kazuha is a support unit capable of buffing his teammates’ Elemental DMG, aside from triggering Swirl and rounding up enemies. Because of how good they are, combined with the limitations around free Primogems in , players may have to make a cruel decision of pulling for Neuvillette or Kazuha instead of obtaining both in the same patch.

Both Neuvillette and Kazuha compose the 5-star characters featured in the Phase 2 banners of 4.5. Phase 2 starts on April 3 (late April 2, depending on the region) and is expected to last until April 24 (April 23, depending on the region), when Version 4.6 should arrive. Of course, this estimation is made based on the game’s regular six-week schedule for every patch and considering that there will be no delays in the upcoming content. If nothing out of the ordinary occurs, Neuvillette and Kazuha will be available in the banners from April 3 to April 24.

As was previously mentioned, Neuvillette is a Hydro DPS character in . As a catalyst wielder, he is capable of dealing Hydro DMG with his Normal and Charged Attacks rather than having to rely solely on his Skill’s cooldown or his Elemental Burst’s Energy Restoration. This, in turn, allows him to more easily trigger
