If you are looking to get the most out of Sciel in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This guide covers everything you need to build her into a powerful, fast, and versatile party member. From her best weapon choices and AP-boosting Pictos to skill combos and stat priorities, we’ll walk you through how to maximize her damage output, keep her alive longer, and make full use of her unique Foretell and Twilight mechanics.
Best Sciel Build in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Sciel joins your team as the fourth member in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and she uses cards in battle. One of her key abilities is Foretell, which she casts on enemies is to make them take more and more damage with each stack. While she does have some support moves, Sciel is really useful when playing offensively. She uses both Sun and Moon powers, and when she has both charged up, she enters Twilight mode, a special state that boosts her abilities even more.
Best Weapon For Sciel
Early in your playthrough of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, one of the best weapons to pick is the Rangeson. It’s a good early-game weapon with good attack power that gets even better as you upgrade it. It also deals Dark Damage and scales with your Defense (C) and Agility (B) stats.
What really makes the Rangeson stand out are the buffs it unlocks as you level it up:
- At Level 4: You recover 5% of your health every time you apply Foretell.
- At Level 10: Healing skills cost 1 less AP to use.
- At Level 20: Your healing becomes 30% more effective for each Moon charge you have. Plus, your basic attack gives you 1 Moon charge.
Best Picto For Sciel
Sciel’s main focus in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is stacking Foretell on enemies but since she can only do that with her skills, you need to make sure she has enough AP (Action Points) to use them as often as possible. One of the best ways to boost her AP is by equipping the right Pictos.
There are plenty of Pictos that give extra AP, but here are some ones to use for early in the game:
- Dodger – Gain 1 AP when you land a Perfect Dodge (once per turn).
- Dead Energy – Get +3 AP whenever Sciel defeats an enemy.
- Rewarding Mark – Earn +2 AP when hitting a Marked target (once per turn).
- Energizing Start II – Gives +1 AP at the start of every battle.
Once you complete four battles with a Picto equipped, you’ll master it and unlock its Lumina, which makes the effect permanent for Sciel even if you switch to another Picto later.
Best Skills For Sciel
When you equip Sciel with First Strike Pictos or their Lumina, you can use her in every battle. Right from the start, you can use Focused Foretell or Marking Card to stack Foretell on enemies, then follow up with Sealed Fate to deal high damage up to 200% more based on how much Foretell you’ve built up. Even better, if you land a Critical Hit, it keeps the Foretell stacks going.
Also use Harvest, it’s a handy skill that lets Sciel heal herself while still dealing damage at enemy health perfect for staying in the fight longer without giving up offense.
Best Attributes For Sciel
For Sciel’s weapon, the best Attributes to focus on are Agility and Vitality. Maxing these out makes her not only fast and hard-hitting, but also much tougher to take down. Once you’ve leveled both to 99, any leftover points should go into Luck. This helps make up for her weaker Defense and gives her a better chance at landing Critical Hits, which can really boost her damage.
