In response to negative feedback from fans, HoYoVerse will come back nerf it gave to Neuvillette in Genshin Impact. Players will also receive 1600 Primogems as an apology.
For reference, as of Version 4.8, HoYoVerse has “fixed” the “abnormal rotation speed” for Neuvillette’s Charged Attack. One of the reasons why Neuvillette is one of the best Hydro DPS characters in the game is because of this burst attack. Players can spin him around, even if he is only attacking a single target, to deal extra damage due to the way his attacks work.
According to the Tweet, HoYoVerse has rolled out a fix to standardize the Neuvillette Experience for all players. Some players, depending on the platform they play on, Genshin Impact above, it is not possible to achieve what some people can do through external influences such as mouse settings. Using Neuvillette to its full potential will also result in image blur. However, after the fix went live, players reported that Neuvillette was nerfed in Genshin Impact making it really difficult to use.
Chinese players were particularly upset because Neuvillette was a limited 5-star character. People could have used real money to get him, especially since he was one of the best DPS characters in the game. They did so specifically because of his insane burst attack. So his nerf was like HoYoVerse ripping people off. Like Ayaka, some Chinese players even HoYoVerse Report to defraud consumers.
HoYoVerse will roll back this fix in a future update. More information on when will be announced soon, and we should expect to get 1600 Primogems by then. This isn’t the first time HoYoVerse has needed to fix a character or roll back a change. The same thing happened when it tried to fix Yae Miko’s Auto Aim Skillas well as when Zhongli first appeared. Indeed, Zhongli’s situation is a bit different, as his kit very weak compared to how HoYoVerse advertises him.
Genshin Impact To be available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC and mobile devices.
