7 Best Fire Skills In Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Ranked

Fire is one of the elements available in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and its destructive force is best showcased in these powerful skills.

By 

Maelle and Lune are the two characters who can inflict the most fire damage on enemies with their skills. Other characters can get equipped with fire-infused weapons too, so anyone can inflict Burn with the right setup. Let’s go through the best fire weapons in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and rank how effective they are for the given character.

7 Gobluson

Buy From The Coastal Cave Merchant

Gobluson weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
  • Character: Sciel

The Gobluson weapon can easily be bought from the merchant inside Coastal Cave, and it’s one of Sciel’s weapons in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Sciel has a unique attack pattern as skills will either create a Sun or a Moon charge. If both are active, Sciel will enter Twilight, which will increase damage.

With this weapon in Twilight mode, if an attack applies Foretell, then Sciel will attack a random enemy as a bonus. For every three Foretell applied, an enemy can get Burned, and the best part is that Fire skills will get an increase in damage. Sciel isn't really known for fire spells, though, which makes this bonus a bit weird.

6 Braselim

Fight Monsters Inside the Monolith

Braselim weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
  • Character: Lune

The Braselim weapon can be found Inside the Monolith, a late-game dungeon, and it’s a weapon for Lune in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Lune creates elemental Stains when she uses skills, and if she has an ice Stain present, then Braselim will get an increased chance of hitting critically.

8 Best Gradient Attacks In Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Ranked

Unlock the potential of Gradient Attacks and turn even the hardest battle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 into a piece of cake.

By 

If Lune does get a critical hit, then that will charge the Gradient Attack meter, which is like Limit Breaks from Final Fantasy in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Finally, Lune’s fire skills will get a damage boost with this weapon equipped.

5 Choralim

Fight Chromatic Glissando In Sirene's Dress

Choralim weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
  • Character: Lune

The Choralim weapon can be won if players defeat the Chromatic Glissando in Sirene's Dress, and it’s another one for Lune. At max, Lune can have four Stains banked up, and if she does, Choralim will always hit critically. That means every critical attack will apply a measure of Burn to the target, too.

The best part of this weapon is that if Lune manages to dodge or parry attacks, then her damage will be increased by 20%, which will max out after five turns. Players just have to make sure and keep Lune from receiving damage to keep this bonus applied.

4 Chantenum

Buy From The Sirene Merchant

Chantenum weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
  • Character: Maelle

The Chantenum weapon can be bought from a merchant in Sirene, and it’s a weapon for Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Maelle uses Stances in battle, which will increase attack or defense in various ways.

If she is Stanceless at the start of her turn, she will automatically go into her Offensive Stance with this weapon equipped. When in Offensive Stance, she will also gain one Shield, which can negate all damage done once before disappearing. Finally, using her fire skills will cost one AP less.

3 Lighterim

Fight Abbest In Spring Meadows

Lighterim weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
  • Character: Lune

The Lighterim weapon is the last one worth mentioning for Lune, and it can be found early in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by defeating Abbest in Spring Meadows. Her fire skills will cost less with this weapon equipped, which is good because, like Maelle, she has some good ones.

They will also be stronger with Lighterim equipped, and an easy recommendation would be her Fire Rage skill. Finally, at the start of her turn, Lune can gain an ice Stain, which is odd, but any Stains generated are good.

2 Brulerum

Fight Monsters In Flying Waters

Brulerum weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
  • Character: Maelle

The Brulerum weapon can be won by fighting a random group of enemies in Flying Waters, and it’s the final recommendation for Maelle. Her critical hits will apply Burn, and if Maelle is Stanceless, she will strike stronger with criticals.

Make the most of your five-party system with these build types in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

By 

Critical attacks are always good to score in an RPG, which is what the Brulerum was built for. However, its simplest bonus is its best as a base attack can apply two Burn effects, and if players have the right Pictos equipped in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, then they can generate more attacks per turn.

1 Corpeso

Fight Monsters In Dark Shores

Corpeso weapon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
  • Character: Verso

Even though Verso’s specialty is in light-based attacks, he has the best fire-infused weapon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 via the Corpeso. This weapon can be gained by fighting enemies on Dark Shores, which is where players will technically start their journey before getting kicked out. Verso’s attacks will increase his Perfection grade ranking from D to S, which will naturally increase damage.

However, the damage is amplified even further with Corpeso equipped with S, practically turning Verso into a god of death. Base attacks will apply Burn, and when Perfection ranks increase, Verso will gain AP. When players max the weapon out at level 33, Corpeso will absolutely wreck enemies even if they are resistant to fire-based damage, which is why it ranks so high.
