how do you maximize the damage of the stendhal ability?

cmv stendhal is really really good and in my opinion/experience can carry the game but one thing is i suck at minmaxing damage here how do i do it? are there specific pictos i should be using?

Alright so stendhal is pretty much the go-to nuke right now at least until that nerf hits in may. Let me break this down for you - you'll want to focus on getting your ap management sorted first since it costs 8 ap to use, and then build around maximizing that void damage output

The real magic happens when you pair it with the right pictos and luminas. For your pictos, focus on anything that boosts void damage and crit chance, while your luminas should be all about those shield depletion bonuses and defense-down multipliers. When you get everything lined up just right, you're looking at some absolutely ridiculous damage numbers - we're talking billions here, which is honestly pretty broken

Something worth keeping in mind is that while stendhal is strong right from the start, it gets completely nuts once you unlock those late-game pictos. Speed stats are pretty important too, since getting your turn order right can make a huge difference in how the whole thing plays out. The devs are definitely gonna tone it down soon, but they've mentioned you'll still be able to pull off some crazy stuff with other builds

Maybe interesting - even after the nerf hits, this setup will probably still delete most regular bosses, just not quite as dramatically as it does now. Just remember to strip those shields first and watch the fireworks happen

which character has the highest single-hit damage potential and what build enables it?

about my playstyle its usually on burst damage and i have verso to tank for me (though that is almost always hard to pull off) and since bosses can get tricky really in the mid to late game i was wondering if there are characters (maybe like lune or gustave) that i should scale for really juicy damage? thanks!

which side stories significantly impact the ending sequences?

hey guys im new to clair obscur and ive been loving the rpg + turn based elements! i really love reverse 1999 and they have a lot of similar elements (really popular in SEA!) now since expedition 33 is a little bit deeper say if i skip some side stories or failed to achieve some criteria of sorts are they wild consequences?
