Sure! Here’s a revised version in American English that maintains clarity and originality:
In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, there are many ways to form your party. However, one particularly powerful setup involves using Maelle’s Medalum weapon along with the Stendhal skill. This build is especially effective for solo play, allowing you to potentially deal millions in damage—essentially one-shotting almost any enemy, including the game’s toughest final bosses. Keep in mind, though, this approach may not suit everyone since you’d be skipping most combat encounters.
Maelle is the ideal character for a solo build due to the unique Stendhal skill that becomes available in Act 3. Once you unlock it, you can significantly enhance her damage capabilities by using various Pictos and Luminas. I would recommend this playstyle primarily if you’re looking to bypass most battles in Act 3, as it makes formidable secret bosses like Simon and Clea surprisingly easy. While this build seems a bit overpowered, it offers the closest experience to a "God Mode" in Clair Obscur.
Best Weapon and Attributes for a Solo Maelle Build in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Maelle’s Medalum Starts You in Virtuose Stance
Maelle’s Medalum is perhaps the best weapon in Clair Obscur and easily her top choice because it automatically places her in Virtuose Stance from the start of combat. This is crucial for a solo Maelle build since it saves valuable turns that would otherwise be wasted on switching stances. For this setup, the remaining upgrades for the Medalum weapon aren’t as crucial, although experimenting with Maelle’s various Burn skills could be fun if you’re feeling adventurous.
Medalum benefits from both Defense and Agility, and it’s wise to invest in the Might attribute as well. At the maximum level, you can allocate 99 points across three different attributes. However, I suggest focusing mainly on Agility and Might initially, since Defense and Health will generally be less important due to the Last Chance skill, which provides various advantages at low health.
Best Skills for a Solo Maelle Build in Clair Obscur
Stendhal, Phantom Strike, & Last Chance are Essential Skills
For an optimal solo setup, equip Maelle with three key skills: Stendhal, Phantom Strike, and Last Chance. Stendhal, unlocked in Act 3, is extremely powerful, dealing substantial single-target Void damage, albeit with some drawbacks like losing shields and entering a vulnerable state. Nevertheless, the damage it inflicts far outweighs its downsides.
Phantom Strike should be utilized against groups of enemies, as it can typically wipe out weaker foes in one turn and significantly weaken stronger adversaries. With the right Luminas and Pictos equipped, you’ll start each encounter with three turns, allowing you to clear groups before they can even counterattack.
Best Pictos and Luminas for a Solo Maelle Build in Clair Obscur
Solo Fighter, Roulette, & Immaculate Offer Incredible Damage Boosts
The backbone of a solo build is stacking Maelle with passive buffs via Luminas—a task that might take until your New Game Plus (NG+) run to complete. If you plan to use only Maelle for your battles, make sure to invest your Colour of Lumina upgrades in her for maximum passive boosts. Essential Lumina passives include Cheater, First Strike, and Shortcut.
Having Cheater and Shortcut allows you to take three turns in a row if you use Last Chance to lower your health to one, while First Strike guarantees you always play first. For safety, equip Second Chance in case something goes awry, which will free up 40 Lumina points that can be used for more useful passives. Shortcut and Roulette are also advisable for their passive effects rather than their statistical benefits.
Combining Lumina passives increases your overall damage output, and there are several effective combinations to explore. Look into mixing Shell and Powerful Luminas like SOS Shell, SOS Power, and Greater Powerful. Excellent passives include Shield Affinity in conjunction with In Medias Res and Inverted Affinity.
In essence, this setup will allow you to swiftly tackle the toughest enemies, making even the most challenging bosses like Serpenphere, Clea, and Simon surprisingly manageable. It might feel a bit like cheating as you reach max levels, but this build is undoubtedly one of the most effective in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
