Why Maelle's Stendhal does more damage than Gommage gradient?

[Gabe a very good man]

And why gommage ain't aoe skill? Would be super logical.

Hell wtf is with balance in Act 3. Devs like stopped caring all of a sudden.

They understood old school rpgs that had hidden means of breaking the game....and made it so. Love it or hate it....it's a deliberate design decision imo. You get slightly harder bosses, then insane bosses, but then provide insane means of which to slaughter these bosses....it's fun to a certain mindset. If you love the Souls formula though, this is probably pure toxic.

Let's not pretend that almost all souls games besides Sekiro didn't have broken builds that were trivializing most bosses...

All of the gradient attacks get outdamaged by normal skills if you built properly. They are more for utility/extra turn/something to use if not enough AP for other skills.

Her 1/3 Gradient is weak I imagine because you can use it 3 turns in a row to always go into Vertuose stance for free essentially and get a free turn on top of it.
