The recent Patch 1.2.3 for the popular RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has introduced significant balance changes by nerfing the powerful Stendhal build utilized by player Maelle. This build allowed players to deal exorbitant damage, making the final boss exceptionally easy to defeat in just one hit. The developers, Sandfall Interactive, acknowledged that they initially over-tuned this skill, leading to an overwhelmingly dominant playstyle. Along with the nerf, the patch also includes fixes for various gameplay elements, ensuring a smoother experience across all platforms. The game has already sold over 2 million copies and has been praised by notable figures, highlighting its impact in the RPG landscape.
