Is still possible do millions of damage easily?
Cause I'm at level 83 and the damage I;m doing is pitiful, I can barely crack a 1 mil damage with Maele and some the late game bosses are horse hit, you're expected to kill them quickly because ♥♥♥♥ parrying them for 10 minutes.

Yes very much so even without support from other party members.
dmg isnt relevent if you just learn how to parry the moves. most enmies only have a few combos. force yourself to learn them and you can dominate with counterattacks.

Maelle solo build with the right lumia can easily do 40mil a hit with Stendahl.
Thats not even optimized, just throwing all the +damage and +solo bonus lumina together.
Take time to read your pictos and weapons. You can easily pull a truck tons of damage.
Also do not underestimate the damage you can pull from counterattacks.

Make sure you allocate your attribute points to stats that scales with your weapon, go through the luminas you have and equip the damage related ones (use your colours so you have enough points to equip them), utilize character perks like go into virtuose stance with Maelle/ reach high perfection rank with Verso etc.
Some easy damage buffing luminas are burn affinity (10% damage increase to burning enemies), critical burn (25% increased critical chance on burning enemy), base shield and powered shield and/or shield affinity (base shield gives you a shield on turn start, the later two gives damage buff when you have shield).
Don't forget to apply the powerful buff on yourself and defenseless and/or marked on enemies.
There's also equipping AP related luminas so you have enough use those high AP cost hard hitting skills every turn.
With maelle? Easily. Her paintress skills are very powerful. You just need to stack damage buffing Pictos on her. Hitting for 20M+ is also quite simple to do with her 3rd Gradient skill.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the real key is the weapon; upgrade it as much as you can. If you need a spot to grind the material to upgrade them, just keep taking out Golgra; you get 3 each time.

You can theoretically stack Twilight extremely high on Sciel, and Lune has her dark stain weapon that can give you +300% damage on something, but they all require a lot of setup. Still easy to do millions of damage though.

Stendhal still does ridiculous damage in Virtuose stance. Gommage too. After failing against Simon on NG+ and bringing my reserve party in, Maelle effortlessly finished him off in a single hit with Gommage from half health.

Verso trivially one-turned every encounter in the game for me after act 2 (without bothering to get the +50% solo boost), except for the absolute toughest boss which took two turns, so yes. S rank is the same damage boost as Virtuoso stance, except you can have it all the time. Breaking Death + Sniper + the extra turn on break pictos is very, very broken and lets you set up turn 1 End Bringer for the toughest single enemies, or you can just kill with Follow-up or Phantom Stars for everything else.

Lune can also do nearly as much damage with Lightning Dance every turn, using free aim with Trebuchim and free aim AP generation to get the stains over and over. Either Hell or (for much less AP) Crippling Tsunami with stains will one-shot multi-enemy fights as long as they don't have shields.

- make sure you have her purple sword
- spend all levels on scaling stats + might
- get all possible offensive pictos
- all possible colour of lumina spend on Maelle. I had 700 points when facing Simon and still had plenty left for others.
- use solo pictos and play solo.

That’s it. She is able to one shot any enemy in the game. Especially if you take a gamble with roulette.

every character can do several millions damage per turn if specc'ed properly, yes.

Guess something is wrong with your build, I use Maelle, Monoco and Verso for main damage and they can do easily 6-10 milions of damage with a single skill (not using Stendhal, but I use full damage builds and all my characters are glass cannons)
If you're on a first run, you'll probably need to favour stacking quite a lot of colour of lumina into one character to get them to around about 250 so you can stack enough buffs onto you main damage dealer. There's a missable pictos that can be quite useful, but it can also be worked around for more lumina point cost. To get the most you'll possibly need to make a one shot on anything build, because one of the bigger buff pictos means you only have 1HP for the battle.

Based on the inverted affinity luminas I'm assuming you are trying to do a one shot build, in which case there are several points for improvement. First of all tainted could be added, since inverted is a status effect. You can take off the breaker since break damage and damage are two different things, if you one shot your enemies there's no need to break them, in which case you can use that point on other luminas like glass cannon and augmented first strike. All the base attack modifying luminas are not going to help since no matter how buffed, base attack damage is not going to compare to skill damage. Use that point for AP related skills like energizing turn instead so you can use those skills.
Also the second chance is a huge investment that again, should not be necessary if your one shot build is correct. Use that for cheater instead is my recommendation.
Other damage enhancing pictos that could be added are burn affinity (increased damage on burning targets), confident, in medias res + powered shield + shield affinity, powered attack, full strength, warming up, roulette.
One way to apply burn on enemies in an one shot build is put burning death and auto death on one of the character. The auto death build can do a lot of other things that you can experiment with, such as handing out buffs and APs.
Another source of damage buff other than pictos and luminas is Sciel's Fortune's Fury. Double damage is huge.
All the attribute points that does not scale with your weapon is a waste damage-wise. When you do a one shot build, commit to it. You don't need defense if all your enemies are dead in one shot, and that is fully possible if you commit.

This is my Maelle's build

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3484162350

I removed 2 QoL Luminas just for making the important ones visible in one screen.

Those are my Lumina points on everyone

The list of active Luminas is much longer than the ones on Maelle and she is still strong as the others anyway
