What are the best Expedition 33 weapons? An Expedition is only as good as the equipment it takes into combat, and Expedition 33 has a ton of powerful weapons up its sleeve. Whether it’s a lightning-fast twinblade scythe or explosive elemental magic, each character in your party uses a weapon type that’s unique to them.
The best weapons in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 scale their damage to each character’s optimal Expedition 33 attributes, and enable powerful synergies with Expedition 33 Pictos and skills. Weapons are a cornerstone of the best Expedition 33 builds, harnessing unique passive effects and elemental damage to exploit enemy weaknesses in the turn-based game. If you’re spoiled for choice, our top picks can steer you to victory, especially after you learn how to level them up.
Best Expedition 33 weapons
Here are the best weapons in Expedition 33:
- Gustave: Lanceram
- Lune: Scaverim
- Maelle: Medalum
- Sciel: Blizzon
- Verso: Simoso
- Monoco: Joyaro
Best Gustave weapon
- Weapon: Lanceram
- Element: Physical
- Stats: Vitality C, Agility D
- How to get: Defeat Lancelier in Spring Meadows or Hexga in Flying Manor. Alternatively, purchase from the Cruler blacksmith in Coastal Cave after fighting them for 21,275 Chroma.
Lanceram is Gustave’s best weapon. Not only does it have excellent attribute scaling and base power to help carry Gustave comfortably through the early game, but expending the materials to upgrade it early is an excellent investment for Verso later down the line. It’s easy to acquire, straightforward, and its Physical element is a good all-rounder that’s effective against most enemies.
Best Lune weapon
- Weapon: Scaverim
- Element: Dark
- Stats: Vitality B, Agility C
- How to get: Defeat Scavenger in Falling Leaves.
Scaverim is Lune’s best weapon. While it’s not the most powerful in terms of base damage, it more than makes up for it with its suite of passive buffs. Scaverim generates Dark Stains that each provide a 50% skill damage buff. You can either consume each Dark Stain individually for a base attack that hits three times harder, or collect a complete set of Dark Stains to inflict a skill-based nuke.
The only downside to this weapon is the limited number of slots at Lune’s disposal. With Dark Stains gradually taking up those slots, it becomes harder to tap into the optional effects attached to many of Lune’s skills. However, you’ll be hitting hard enough that it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Best Maelle weapon
- Weapon: Medalum
- Element: Physical
- Stats: Defense – S, Agility – A
- How to get: Defeat the stranger in the Gestral Village Arena Tournament as Maelle.
Medalum is Maelle’s best weapon. With this weapon equipped, Maelle begins every battle in Virtuouse Stance, effectively giving her a triple-damage attack buff right out of the gate without the multiple turns required to segue through her other stances first. This sets her up to take advantage of Medalum’s effects at higher levels.
Whenever Maelle is in Virtuouse Stance while wielding Medalum, her Burn damage and application is doubled, letting you take full advantage of the many skills at her disposal. While Medalum’s high power can be enough to excel regardless, you might want to switch it out if you don’t use Fire abilities – or when going up against shielded foes.
Best Sciel weapon
- Weapon: Blizzon
- Element: Ice
- Stats: Luck A
- How to get: Defeat Chromatic Ballet in Falling Leaves.
Blizzon is Sciel’s best weapon. This weapon ensures every hit she lands is a critical one whenever at least one Moon charge is active – though you’ll rarely have just one to hand. Once Blizzon is fully upgraded, base attacks grant Moon charges, and each one offers a 25% damage increase. In short, it’s the perfect weapon if you want Sciel’s attack power to ramp as quickly as possible.
Blizzon is a high-risk, high-reward weapon; if you take damage while wielding it, Sciel’s health bar is going to feel it thanks to the double damage she receives while Blizzon is equipped. It also won’t be of much benefit if you have a preference for Sun skills, but Chation is a great alternative in that case. However, Chation’s Foretell application pale in comparison to Blizzon’s superior power.
Best Verso weapon
- Weapon: Simoso
- Element: Light
- Stats: Vitality A, Agility S
- How to get: Defeat Simon in The Abyss.
Simoso is Verso’s best weapon. With this weapon equipped, Verso literally cannot die if he is at Rank A or above. I don’t think we need to explain how beneficial this is, especially when paired with multi-hit attacks that help him reach high Perfection quickly. Even better? Every hit Verso deals with skills comes with an additional burst of Light damage, which comes with a bonus chance of inflicting Burn.
The only major drawback to Simoso is the challenge you must overcome to get it. Simon is the most powerful boss in Expedition 33, and taking him on below level 99 is not recommended. Even reaching the boss location is difficult enough, since you need to raise your relationship with Esquie to level five to unlock the underwater ability required to reach Renoir’s Drafts. However, there’s no question this weapon is worth the effort for Verso fans.
If you’re looking for a weapon to tide Verso over until he’s strong enough to take on Simon, Lanceram can certainly do the job. It isn’t the most powerful once you reach the late-game, but it is the ideal choice for mastery over Verso’s Perfection mechanic. Alternatively, if you’ve loaded Verso up on powerful Break skills like Perfect Break or Phantom Stars, Contorso is a great runner-up for reaching S-Rank while hitting hard.
Monoco
- Weapon: Joyaro
- Element: Lightning
- Stats: Defense – A, Agility – S
- How to get: Defeat Lampmaster in Flying Manor.
Joyaro is Monoco’s best weapon. This weapon has an equivalent effect on Monoco as Medalum does for Maelle, letting him kick off every battle in the Almighty Mask. This grants him a damage boost for any skill, and with a stackable 20% damage buff for each consecutive turn Monoco goes without taking damage, the only way is up from here.
Joyaro also has the added benefit of turning Monoco into a powerful solo breaker, bestowing him with double Break damage whenever he’s in Almighty Mask. This makes for an explosive start, but take advantage of marked enemies with the Benisseur Mortar skill or Mighty Strike Gradient attack to switch back to Almighty Mask in subsequent turns.
