Here’s a full list of every party member in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, along with their unique combat mechanics and tips for playing them.

Gustave

Gustave builds up his Overload meter by landing hits. Once charged, he can unleash a powerful attack.

• Focus on multi-hit abilities to charge Overload faster.

• Boost AP recovery and Break damage through Pictos and Luminas.

• Great for breaking enemy stances early in fights.

Lune

Lune uses elemental attacks to generate Stains. Certain abilities consume these stains for bonus effects.

• Use a variety of elemental skills to manage stain colors.

• Primary healer—equip Pictos that boost healing and AP generation.

• Effective against enemies with elemental weaknesses.

Maelle

Maelle switches between three Stances with every attack: Offensive, Defensive, and Virtuose.

• Plan abilities to rotate stances efficiently.

• Use Virtuose stance for high damage output.

• Parrying boosts her counterattacks based on stance bonuses.

Sciel

Sciel alternates between Sun and Moon cards, entering Twilight for major buffs.

• Apply Foretell stacks and consume them for high damage.

• Focus on critical hit rate and Break damage.

• Best used for large burst attacks during Twilight mode.

Verso

Verso’s power comes from his Perfection rating, which increases by landing hits and dodging/parrying.

• Avoid getting hit to maintain a high Perfection grade.

• Use abilities that restore Perfection when it drops.

• Equip Pictos that reward successful dodges and parries.

Monoco

Monoco learns new abilities by defeating enemies and uses the Bestial Wheel to switch combat masks.

• Keep Monoco active in the party to unlock more transformations.

• Build ability chains that complement each mask.

• Versatile but depends on what abilities you’ve collected.

Final Blurb

Each party member in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brings a unique mechanic to combat. Building your team around their strengths—and keeping an eye on AP management and stance or combo setups—will help you handle even the toughest fights. Rotate your party wisely, especially to develop Monoco’s abilities as you progress.
