The developers behind Clair Obscur Expedition 33 have announced a balance update that will weaken Maelle, one of the game's playable characters. Although there were initially no plans to adjust character abilities this early, feedback has prompted a change.

As a result, Stendhal became the go-to attack for many players, overshadowing the rest of Maelle’s toolkit. Developers now aim to adjust the skill so that while it remains useful, it no longer dominates her playstyle.

The patch is set to go live on May 9, initially launching on Steam, with console versions following shortly thereafter. No specific details on the adjustments have been shared yet, but the goal is to encourage more varied strategies.

This update reflects the team's commitment to creating a balanced and dynamic gameplay experience, even if that means revisiting changes made shortly before release.
