Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive has launched Patch 1.2.3 for its well-received role-playing recreation throughout all platforms.
The replace makes an extended listing of fixes and, crucially, stability adjustments, together with nerfing Clair Obscur’s most game-breaking construct (patch notes under).
Sandfall had signalled this modification was coming, saying it hadn’t deliberate to make any stability tweaks this early — simply bug fixes, “until one thing clearly stood out.”
“Properly, Stendhal did,” the developer continued.
The construct in query is (was!) for younger fencer Maelle and a sword known as Medalum, which unlocks a Virtuose Stance that offers 200% bonus harm. Gamers have been combining this with ability-stacking and the Stendahl talent, which offers excessive single goal Void harm, to dish out billions of injury, sufficient to kill the ultimate boss in only one hit.
“It was underwhelming for many of improvement, so in our closing pre-release stability go, we gave it a giant harm increase — and clearly overdid it. It ended up overshadowing most different choices,” Sandfall mentioned.
“We nonetheless need you to have the ability to break the sport — and also you completely nonetheless can — however Stendhal was making it a bit too straightforward.”
The nerf is included in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s first full hotfix set. Whereas Stendhal continues to be a robust single-hit talent with nice synergy potential, it’s now extra in-line with the whole lot else.
In the meantime, the patch fixes what appears like a bug that was making Medalum third Lumina doubling all harm in Virtuose Stance, as a substitute of doubling solely Burn harm.
