Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has announced it will be addressing its problem child, Maelle with a nerf coming imminently.
You do not often see heavy nerfs in single player, PvE only games, but sometimes things get a little too crazy, and something has to be done. That’s currently happening with the beloved GOTY contender Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 , which has announced it will be addressing its problem child, Maelle .
that it will be nerfing an aspect of the most popular, strongest Maelle build that involves the high-damage move Stendhal and stacking a zillion buffs to rack up anywhere from 20 million to 3 billion damage in one hit, depending on how it’s set up. With the hardest phase of the hardest boss of the game able to be one-shot with 50-60 million in damage, this erases the entire endgame’s challenge if you choose to use it. Icould be overpowered. The goal, Sandfall says, is to make it in line with other big damage, single-hit skills, rather than be 1000% better than everything else. Players are still discovering more and more builds for all characters every day, and even perusing YouTube, you can see millions in damage from other characters from Sciel to Verso. But millions is not 50 million or 3 billion, and it’s not clear if anything close to Maelle’s nuke can be drafted in the game with other characters at this point. But I’ve played these games long enough to know that someone is probably going to figure other things out.Again, Maelle is no doubt still going to be strong. Even post-nerf Stendhal may still be overpowered. But you will be surprised how little even a few million damage can move at least some of the health bars really late in the game, and it seems you are going to have to actually…play. Well, I won’t because I just beat everything with Maelle. I mean, it was just too tempting, I’m sorry. I’ll start New Game+ and do it legally, I promise. So yes, you have one more day of this which may not be enough to fully craft the build depending on where you are, but this is entirely justified so I don’t think players can be all that mad about it.
