'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' Patch Slams Maelle Build With 70% Nerf

Even after the nerfs, the Maelle Nuke build in Forbes' Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 might still be overpowered. Two key components were adjusted: Medalum's damage multiplier in Virtuose Stance and the Stendhal skill's damage output.

• Medalum: The damage doubling effect in Virtuose Stance was corrected to only affect Burn damage, not all damage.
• Stendhal: Damage reduced by 40%.

Medalum's Virtuose Stance provides a significant damage boost, and Stendhal is a crucial one-hit kill skill. These changes significantly impact the build's effectiveness.

Testing against Golgra shows a substantial damage reduction:

• Before patch: 12 million hit, 18 million critical hit
• After patch: 3.6 million hit, 5.5 million critical hit

This represents approximately a 70% damage nerf. However, this is based on a non-maxed build. The author's highest damage output was 67 million, suggesting a post-patch damage of around 20 million. While this significantly impacts the hardest boss fight, many other encounters might remain trivial.

Some highly optimized builds have achieved billions in damage. While a 70% nerf might not fully address these extreme cases, the vast majority of players won't achieve such high damage numbers. The nerfs are justified, preventing players from easily bypassing the endgame. The difficulty curve, particularly for the final boss, has been significantly altered. Many other enemies, however, will likely remain easily defeated. Here's the build.
