Ready to bring out the best in Sciel in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? In our Sciel Build Guide, we’ll show you the optimal build, highlight the abilities that maximize her impact, and tell you how to make her a cornerstone of your team’s success in every encounter.
Table of Contents
Sciel is your versatile damage dealer and support hybrid, using her deck of cards to apply Foretell stacks that make enemies increasingly vulnerable before she detonates them with Twilight-powered attacks. She’s adaptable: in the early game, she’s a fast crit-based attacker; in the mid game, she leans into support and healing; and by the late game, she becomes a Twilight-fueled crit machine with guaranteed Foretell chains.
Sciel Build: The Best Attributes
- Act 1: Focus on Agility and Luck. Agility maintains her turn rate, while Luck increases critical hits, fueling Foretell combos. A touch of vitality helps her survive.
- Act 2: With Rangeson equipped, increase Agility and Defense to match the weapon’s scaling. Invest some points into Luck, when possible, to keep her critical hit rate high.
- Act 3: Switch to Charnon, which guarantees critical hits in Twilight State. Now her top stats are Luck (to boost damage and Foretell) and Defense (for scaling and durability).
Best Skills
- Act 1: Focused Foretell, Marking Card, Spectral Sweep, Twilight Slash, Phantom Blade, Sealed Fate
- Act 2: Focused Foretell, Marking Card, Twilight Slash, Sealed Fate, Grim Harvest, Plentiful Harvest
- Act 3: Twilight Dance, Sealed Fate, Final Path, Intervention, Fortune’s Fury, Plentiful Harvest
- Early Game: Build Foretell with Focused Foretell and Marking Card, then detonate with Twilight Slash or Sealed Fate. Phantom Blade provides extra damage.
- Mid Game: Add support skills. Grim Harvest heals the team, while Plentiful Harvest refunds AP, scaling off Foretell stacks.
- Late Game: Transition to heavy burst and support. Fortune’s Fury doubles an ally’s damage (perfect with Maelle), while Intervention gives allies AP and instant turns. For damage, Twilight Dance and Final Path deliver huge crit-based hits when combined with Charnon.
Best Pictos and Luminas
- Early Game:
- Pictos: Breaker, Critical Moment, Critical Burn
- Luminas: Critical Burn, Dead Energy II, Exposing Attack, Marking Shots, Staggering Attack
- Mid Game:
- Pictos: Breaking Counter, Accelerating Heal, Breaking Shots
- Luminas: Critical Burn, Dodger, Energising Parry, Energising Start II, Recovery, Sweet Kill
- Late Game:
- Pictos: Immaculate, Glass Canon, Inverted Affinity
- Luminas: Painted Power, Cheater, Roulette, Empowering Parry, Energy Master, First Strike, Full Strength, Tainted, Second Chance, Warming Up
Her early setups lean into speed and crits. By the late game, Sciel becomes an offensive juggernaut with Twilight uptime, infinite AP recovery, and guaranteed crits. Cheater gives her extra turns, while Painted Power removes the damage cap.
Best Teams for Sciel
- Main DPS Team: Lune (support), Sciel (main DPS), Maelle (sub-DPS). Sciel stacks Foretell and detonates it with Twilight Dance and Sealed Fate, while Maelle uses Marks and Lune keeps the party healthy and enemies weakened.
- Support Team: Sciel (support), Maelle (main DPS), Verso (sub-DPS). Sciel buffs allies with Fortune’s Fury and Intervention while generating AP through Plentiful Harvest. Maelle handles the main damage, and Verso adds extra Marks and Breaks.
