Despite huge nerfs to Maelle's damage output in the first patch following Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's release, the new Thank You update has introduced new ways to see her deal over 1.1 billion in damage to the most difficult boss in the game, thanks to new weapons, Pictos, and more.
It wasn't long after the game was released that fans realized just how broken Maelle could be. With the combination of her Medalum weapon and the infamous Stendhal skill, players were able to quickly tear through even end-game bosses, that is, until the game's first patch. Mendalum went from dealing double damage to only dealing double burn damage, and Stendhal's power was nerfed by 40%. Maelle's boss baby era appeared to be over.
