Is Maelle supposed to be this broken?

[albanshqiptar]

She can output and absurd amount of damage in the final act of the game with minimal effort. I'm one shotting every enemy and boss, even when the game has the danger text for the area. Is this a damage calculation bug or is she just overpowered right now?

Yeah you're just allowed to make OP builds in this game if you can think about how to do them.

[Ratsplat]

I imagine every character is able to eventually 1 shot/1 turn every boss.

I mean thematically it kind of makes sense. Maybe not as a matter of degree but she's kind of special relative to the rest of the party. I wouldn't call it "minimal effort" though. It still takes a while to grind up your weapon and get all the right pictos.

So can other characters do this kind of power? It doesn't feel like it. I have Verso do his 13 hit extreme S rank move and it doesn't even come close. He was my dps character in the acts before.

If this is true, Maelle gets to do this very early compared to everyone else with minimal setup.

I would say she is meant to be this OP :-D In my game Maelle is usually only #3 (Lune is usually first, but she kills everything in one turn almost always too, other than some really strong bosses), if Maelle comes first she kills everything in her round :-D I didn't even look up any specific builds for her but Maelle does 14 million damage with Stendahl (her probably strongest attack).

If you do not want that... you will probably have to nerf Maelle yourself, do not use certain skills, do not equip certain pictos and luminas.

i find it funny though, so whenever Maelle does get a turn she just obliterates everything. That is in NG+ now on extreme and the enemy just can't keep up.

Same here. At first I built her to be defensive as I found a sword that gives AP to the team but now that I found the sword that puts her in virtous stance, I gave her all the pictos that buff damage and make Sciel double her damage. I'm probably not doing the setup optimally as I haven't watched guides but it still lets her one shot turn one.

Just proper build and Verso can clear everything similar to Maelle, tho he cannot get hits as high as her but its still enough to clear bosses in turn or two :) (the 15mln hit is without mark so could be ~23mln)

Have you reached Renoir's Drafts location? I found bosses there quite challenging (for now I could only get 4mil crit with Maelle and Sciel), not gonna spoil which ones just in case

That's pretty cool, but Maelle is still in a league of her own.

Maelle was my primary damage dealer for much of the game because of starting in Virtuose Stance and using Fleuret Fury to stay in it. Throw in some decent parrys to launch counterattacks (while in the stance) and she was hitting for the damage cap well before everyone else.
Now, eventually the damage cap became a problem and other characters with more hits in their attacks could outdamage her. By the final two bosses on Act 2 I'd actually resorted to using free aim shots on her because it was the most efficient way of using AP for 7-9k damage each.

Then break damage limit happens.

Verso is close. I have a 1 HP build with berserker slash and phantom stars. Monoco is just there as support to die frame 1 (best friend of the hero, am I right?) and buff Verso while filling the break gauge of enemies and burning them. Then verso can Phantom Stars and berserker slash after berserker slash. He can definitely ditch 25 millions damages in a few rounds.

My highest was 56 millions.

the short answer is no, the reason Maelle is doing so much more damage than anyone else is because Medalum is bugged with a 250% damage multiplier.
