Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 offers you almost endless possibilities when it comes to building your team. While some characters might have more skills focused on supporting your partners rather than dealing damage, you can turn anyone into a DPS menace.

However, Maelle might be one of the clearest examples of a party member who was born to hurt enemies. If you’re wondering how much damage you can do in a single turn in Clair Obscur, you need to have Maelle in your team and be sure to have some specific Pictos and a specific weapon.

You Can Deal Almost Two Billion Points Of Damage In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 In Only One Turn

At first, there’s a pretty easy strategy with Maelle: to use Stendhal, one of her late-game skills, and see how quickly your enemies’ health bars are eliminated.

This was such a broken move that dealt so much Void damage that you could one-shot entire optional bosses. This is because you could deal over one billion damage in a single turn with the correct buffs and Pictos.

Unfortunately, Stendhal was greatly nerfed in patch 1.2.3, with its damage reduced by 40 percent. It isn’t as high as it was, but you can still pack a punch with it.

If you want to use a better option, however, you can use the skill Gommage. It deals extreme Void damage in one hit. In this video from Symphonic Death, we can see how the player deals 1.7 billion points with one attack from Maelle.

While we don’t have the complete information on these characters’ builds, their stats, and weapons, we can learn enough from watching the video.

Monoco, Maelle, and Sciel are level 99 and have a ridiculous amount of Lumina Points to have many Pictos equipped. They start the turn with one HP, exhausted, many shields, Powerful, Shell, and Rush.

Sciel applies Fortune’s Fury to Maelle, which gives her double damage for her next turn. Then the players sacrifice both Monoco and Sciel so Maelle can have a damage boost from the Solo Fighter Pictos, not before stunning, burning, and marking the enemies, which will make Maelle deal more damage to them.

The rest of Maelle’s relevant Pictos for damage are the following: Augmented First Strike, Powerful on Shell, Painted Power, Greater Powerful, Shell on Rush, Auto Rush, Inverted Affinity, Burn Affinity, Confident Fighter, Exhausting Power, Powered Attack, Glass Canon, Immaculate, Powerful Shield, Roulette, Tainted, Painted and Warming Up.

Also, Maelle’s weapon is a level 33 Medalum, and it’s likely that she has Might and Defense at level 99, with the rest of the stat points in Agility.
