Laughter Echoes on Expedition 33: Player Overpowers RPG Boss, Inflicting a Staggering 1.4 Trillion Damage Despite Enhanced Challenges
In an extraordinary display of gaming prowess, a player known as Rephian, whose exploits can be seen on YouTube channel Coccobello, has executed a record-breaking 1.4 trillion-damage attack against the game's toughest boss, Simon, in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This incredible feat was achieved through a meticulously crafted build and combat setup focusing on the unique mechanics of a character named Sciel.
To replicate this astonishing attack, players need to prepare a specific build that maximizes Sciel's speed, Action Points (AP) generation, and damage output. The setup involves stacking speed-buffing Pictos on Sciel, using Luminas to maximize AP accumulation, and equipping her with the Charnon weapon.
The battle against Simon was fought on New Game+, Expert difficulty, with a 100x health challenge modifier applied. To help break Simon’s break bar early in the encounter, a character named Verso was temporarily summoned to buff Sciel and provide additional support. After the break bar was broken, Verso was sidelined, allowing Sciel to take centre stage.
The fight followed a loop where Sciel would shoot the enemy to Mark it, increasing damage on the next hit by 50%. This was followed by accumulating Foretell, using Delaying Slash to consume Foretell and gain a Moon Charge, and stunlocking the enemy to prevent them from attacking. The loop was repeated until Sciel was ready to unleash her devastating attack.
Sciel's Gradient Attack, End Slice, was used to deal extreme damage, with the buff based on the Foretell consumed. This culminated in a single blow dealing 1,439,873,207,638 damage.
For a detailed step-by-step and visual demonstration, you can watch the YouTube video by Coccobello, where this build and fight are fully explained and executed.
This impressive achievement comes after the overpowered attack of another character, Maelle, was nerfed by Clair Obscur developer Sandfall Interactive following the game's launch. The nerf has forced players to be more creative in their strategies, leading to moments of improvisation and humour, such as the "random improv" seen in Expedition 33.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 boasts a customizable combat system, allowing players to tailor their characters and strategies to suit their playstyle. This record-breaking attack serves as a testament to the depth and potential of the game's mechanics.
