Best Sciel build in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur Expedition 33ups the complexity for its fourth character, Sciel, who excels at dishing out huge single-target damage through strategic skill use.

Unlike Maelle, who works best as a reactive front-line attacker, Sciel’s game plan is preemptive. By building damage-boosting Foretell stacks on opponents and juggling Sun and Moon-aspected skills, she can enter her monstrously powerful Twilight Mode.
