However you already know who’s not getting wrecked? Maelle.
By the point Act 3 rolls round, you’ll unlock the total talent tree for the plucky teen, bringing with it among the sport’s strongest skills — for any character. Previous to the sport’s first patchMaelle’s Stendhal means made breaking the sport “a bit too straightforward,” as Sandfall wrote in a submit on X (previously Twitter). Gamers might deal literal billions of injury, one-shotting anybody who stood in Maelle’s means.
Even post-nerf, Maelle remains to be Clear’s prime killing machine, making a triviality out of any struggle she desires to swiftly finish. She’s so highly effective that generally I really feel like I’m going by the motions in utilizing different characters’ turns to set her up for fulfillment, like burning enemies with Lune so Maelle can shortly use Swift Stride and enter Virtuoso Stance, which lets her deal 200% harm. For lengthier, harder fights with enemies possessing seemingly infinite well being, generally it’s enjoyable to see simply how massive Maelle’s harm numbers can get.
Some gamers don’t need to simply win fights, however need to see how badly they will break the sport. And whereas Maelle is perhaps the extra common killing machine, one who can attain these excessive harm marks throughout the pure movement of battle, fellow expeditioner Sciel is not any slouch in doling out harm. Deliberately going into fights not with the objective of profitable, however of completely breaking the sport means decided (and affected person) expeditioners can completely break Clear with Sciel and her scythe.
Maelle and SCIEL are possible Clear’s two greatest harm sellers. Lune can hit some excessive numbers, however she’s usually extra helpful therapeutic allies or focusing on a number of foes for prime harm versus a single enemy for excessive harm. I nonetheless battle maximizing Verso’s Perfection, and Monoco was a difficult character to get the dangle of — it wasn’t till late within the sport earlier than I used to be punishing enemies with Monoco, although I doubt I’ll be reaching 1.1 billion harm with him any time quickly.
Despite the fact that Maelle’s highly effective Stendhal means was nerfed in Might, “you completely nonetheless can” break the sport, as Sandfall has said and plenty of, many gamers have confirmed. And it’s solely truthful — anybody who’s reached the tip of the Renoir’s Drafts degree is aware of that even having an OP construct may not be sufficient for the sport’s hardest enemies.
