In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players can struggle with the new update. However, one has already found a build that deals over a billion damage.
What kind of update is this? On the occasion of the huge success at the Game Awards, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has released a new, free update. The “Thank-You Update” not only introduced the new area “Verso’s Drafts” but also lots of new items, abilities, outfits, and most importantly: bosses.
The new bosses are quite challenging and have already driven players to the brink of despair.
However, this overwhelming might of the bosses has apparently triggered a reaction: The YouTuber BltzZ shows how he swiftly defeats one of the hardest bosses in the new update.
New build for Maelle deals over 1.1 billion damage
Maelle was already known in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for being able to deal extreme amounts of damage. This went so far that one of her best combos was nerfed when she defeated the strongest bosses in the game for the first time.
In the new update, however, there is a new variant: YouTuber BltzZ shows how he turns the notorious boss “Simon” to dust with Maelle.
With his build, Maelle is capable of dealing over 1.1 billion damage with the attack “Burning Canvas”. Too much for Simon, who is defeated immediately – despite being one of the most powerful bosses in the game. You can see what that looks like in BltzZ’s video:
How does that happen? The exact setup of the Pictos is best seen in the video. Basically, the build is about stacking damage multipliers across various abilities.
This includes a lot of burn stacks and markings that have already been applied to Simon by other characters. Maelle also uses the new weapon “Licorum”, which you can obtain in Verso’s Drafts. This weapon also stacks skill damage.
Additionally, the build relies on using Gradient Charges and the new Picto “Feint”, where characters deal only one point of damage for four attacks and finish the fifth with 600% more damage. This fits well with Maelle’s “Burning Canvas”.
So a way to keep the powerful bosses of the new update in check has been found quite quickly. It will be exciting to see how other builds develop in the coming days.
The YouTuber emphasizes that this build also has the potential to deal even more damage. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, some pretty wild combinations are possible. One example: A developer had a direct duel with a player, where they continuously outdid each other in damage.
