Actually, you also get achievement if you stop all three hydro cube slimes from reaching and healing it. Best uption is to use Geo traveller burst and if there's slime coming from a gap check it and block in time. Also, Tighnari is fastest to defeat it, as you can just shoot 3 arrows after using his skil and it ends fast.
Yeah. I did the achievement way back so I knew it was possible to hold off the slimes to defeat the cube. I just didn't think any hydro catalyst could do it until I found out that Neuvi can do this.
First time I've seen a catalyst character defeat a cube of the same element even it's end phase. I think it's possible to do Anemo and pyro cube with anemo and pyro catalyst but hydro is much more impressive.
Yeah. I have defeated the geo cube with Ningguang couple of times. I'm pretty sure Charlotte can defeat the Cryo cube and the Dendro cube with Baizhu. Hydro cube has always being a tricky one because of the end phase slimes. Dendro cube also is a bit tricky with the "must use dendro" mechanic, but I found a little trick to do the dendro cube with just hydro characters as well. Specially Barbara.
@@ericcardinal9138 oh.. interesting. I'm guessing it was in coop or with a one shot character so the boss doesn't reset or the dendrogranum doesn't expire.
@@krimsondemon well, in the video the dude fought every boss in the game with arlechino only. no other chars. when he fought the dendro cube, he picked up the dendro grenum and killed the cube so fast he could use the dendrogranum before they despawed from her. for the pyro cube, he used the water nearby to destroy the pyro shield. the's only a few boss he couldn't killed. i recently tried finding this video again, but i can't seem to find it. if you do find it, i'd appreaciate a link. this was amazing.
@@ericcardinal9138 Ohh interesting. I did fought every boss with Neuvi of course. Maybe I should do this with my top character in every element some day. Thank you for the info :)
@@phuocambao Well, you can bring someone else to quickly take the cube down to the final phase and try out the slime push with Neuvillette. There's actually even an achievement for defeating the hydro cube this way if you haven't completed it yet. I only used Neuvillette just to display that it's pure Neuvillette skills without any elemental resonances or any other passive talents from team members.
Just a smal tip,u can do this faster by cancelling his Charged atk without needing the balls so u can do it in one cycle probably id you're fast enough
I think speed isn't the main problem. Problem is positioning the dragon balls in a central place to hit two slimes. Because as far as i can tell, if you miss even one hit from the charge attack the slime doesn't get pushed out. So you have to be facing the slime before absorbing the dragon balls and hit the slime with the full attack. That means to do it in one rotation, we have to use the burst to face two slimes at once. That's the hard part. I'm sure it can be done. But it'll take a lot of trial and error.
Doing a normal charged attack with neuvillette without the balls (not the pressure washer charged attack) is an easier way to knock them back isn’t it?
Oh.. you're right. But does it work? Even with pressure washer charge attack it doesn't work sometimes. As far as I can tell the pushback is caused only if Neuvillette lands all the hits. Or if the hit crits. I'll have to check if it works
@@HMK. I tested this. It did work but i did multiple tries and I wasn't able to do it on the first charge attack hit (without dragon balls). Always took me three or more than three attacks. Problem is this attack consumes stamina. So stamina runs out so that we can't really sprint to another slime and do the same in one rotation. It will take atleast three tries i think. Also sometimes the pushback happens but looks like not far enough because the slime still reaches the cube. I'm still not sure what triggers the pushback. Might be a crit hit.
the slime part was obvious. what i wanted to know was how can neuvillete damage the hydro cube to begin with. unfortunately, i didn't get the answer. 😕
@@krimsondemon oh... a set. i heard there was also a catalist that dealt physical damage, but i didn't see the catalist's projectile, so wondered what caused the damage i saw.
@@ericcardinal9138 yeah there is two actually. Eye of perception (four star) and Skyward Atlas (five tsar). These will be my go to for any non healer catalyst to do physical damage. But they both have a passive that triggers with normal attacks. So you will have to time it very precisely and even then most of the damage will be lost during the cube's invulnerable phase. With ocean hued clam set you can time the physical damage much more effectively and do more damage in a single instance. So if the character have a significant healing ability, i'd go for the clam set. Another advantage of the set is that it doesn't have a cool down. So if you heal anytime, the bubble will deal damage after 3 seconds. The weapons have cool downs. Skyward atlas has like 30 second cool down and eye of perception got like 10 or 12 seconds if i remember correctly. I sadly don;'t have the eye of perception to run some tests :(
@@krimsondemon still, if you plan making neuvillete fight the hydro tulpa, using these weapons might help a lot, since he doesn't have invulnerability. ;-)
@@ericcardinal9138 I uh... Already fought the tulpa with the same Neuvillette build. I actually fought all three hydro cube, oceanid and hydro tulpa. I have the vids uploaded a coupIe of weeks back if you want to check them out. I haven't used the Skyward Atlas with Neuvillette, but I have done so with Barbara. I think she only did like 8k damage per hit. The clam set bubble do about 20k+ per hit. And since he can heal with both skill and burst the damage was pretty consistent. I don't have the eye of perception yet to try with that weapon.
I did defeat the oceanid Neuvillette solo. I can post the link if you like. I defeated all hydro cube, oceanid and hydro tulpa with this Neuvillette, solo.
Yeah.. there's definitely easier and much faster ways. I was just showing that Neuvillette can do this. Making him the first hydro catalyst to ever do so, as far as I know.
Neuvilete just a bad character lol, bro needs a heal set to scratch some slimes xD. Idc there's a new stronger,faster,funnier,and overall better hydro catalyst in 5.0 hehe 😊
No one is a bad character. And Neuvillette is one of the strongest characters in game. Let's not jump the gun and see how this "new stronger, faster, funnier and overall better hydro catalyst in 5.0" will turn out to be when they get released.
@@Kaira-69 now THAT is an interesting question. I have been trying to figure it out as well. I think so because I have dodged some childe attacks which i think was from an hidden in her skill. I'm still trying to figure out the timing. Any suggestions for a good enemy to practice on?
