(Image via Sandfall Interactive) Medalum is one of the early-game Maelle 's standout weapons in Clair Obscur : Expedition 33 game. It boosts burn damage and the efficiency of the Virtuose stance. While it is the early game prize, to secure it, some strategic choices need to be made. Whether you are diving into the Gestral Area or are backtracking the tournament, here is how you can claim the powerhouse blade. How to earn Medalum in the Gestral arena and its backup? How to Get Medalum Weapon - BEST Early Game Weapon (MISSABLE) - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 The best way to get the Medalum is through the completion of the Gestral Arena in Act 1. Once you arrive at the Gestral Village, you will need to fight in the 1v1 tournament to earn the favor of Chief. In the final round, you will face the mysterious Stranger, and the chosen fighter will reveal the unique weapon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pernas e pés inchados: Experimente isso para ajudar a drenar o fluído do edema aartedoherbalismo Undo To secure the Medalum, make sure to select Maelle before the fight with the Stranger. If she wins, the saber will be yours automatically. But if you pick another character, like Gustave , do not worry, as there is a backup plan. As an alternative, track down the village Chief, Golgra, for the rematch. Challenge them now with Maelle in another 1v1 duel to claim the Medalum. The backup method ensures that none of the players miss out. Just make sure Maelle remains combat-ready, as Golgra is no pushover. If you want some bonus, repeat the duel with Verso/Gustave. It will net Sakaram, for Gustave. It is another top-tier weapon. Time, the stance shifts and gives priority to breaking the guard of Golgra to clinch the win. Burn builds and synergies to maximize Medalum The true potential of Medalum shines when it is paired with Maelle, the Virtuose stance. At Level 4, the battles start in stance and let you unleash the burn-heavy skills like Burning Canvas or Rain of Fire instantly. By Level 10, the burns applied in the Virtuose double in stance and at Level 20, burn finally the damage doubles itself. Stack it with the Pictos like the Critical Burn or Double Burn for the exponential damage. Equip the Healing Fire Lumina to sustain Maelle while you torch the foes. The skills like Pyrolyse become nuclear with the passives of Medalum, especially against the fire-weak enemies. Pair her with the support character by applying Mark debuffs to amplify the CRIT rates. Also, remember to rotate the stance strategically. To overuse, Virtuose will reset Maelle to neutral. It will waste your precious buffs. Medalum is not just a strong starter weapon. It scales with Agility and Defense, making the Maelle tankier while giving a boost to the turn frequency. Its burn-focused passives (double stacks and damage) turn her into the DoT powerhouse, especially with Burning Canvas and Rain of Fire. Whether you grab this early or late, the blade will ensure that Maelle is the frontline menace in Expedition 33.

Best Maelle build in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: Weapons, skills, Pictos, and more!
Image via Kepler Interactive If you're looking to turn Maelle into an unstoppable force in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 , you're in the right place. Maelle's combat style is all about smart stance switching, devastating Fire attacks, and stacking massive amounts of Burn damage. With the right setup, she can carry fights almost single-handedly — from early game all the way to the final act What Are Maelle's Stances? Maelle's combat revolves around three different stances that enhance her gameplay: Defensive Stance : Reduces damage taken and builds AP for dodges and parries. Offensive Stance : Increases both the damage Maelle deals and receives. Virtuose Stance : The real prize — boosts her damage output by a jaw-dropping 200%. Switching stances is key to keeping Maelle's buffs active. Choose your skills carefully to control her stance at all times. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – Best Maelle Build Guide (+ Commentary) Best Weapon for Maelle When it comes to gearing Maelle, nothing beats the Medalum Saber. You can earn this beauty by beating Sciel in the Gestral Village Tournament. Medalum isn't just strong — it's game-breaking when built right. Here's why: Level 4 Medalum : Automatically places Maelle in Virtuose Stance at the start of each fight. Level 10 Medalum : Doubles Burn stacks while in Virtuose Stance. Level 20 Medalum : Doubles all Burn damage when in Virtuose Stance. Pair that with the fact that Medalum scales primarily with Defense and Agility, and you have a weapon that not only hits hard but also makes Maelle super tough and lightning fast. Focus on upgrading Defense first, then pour points into Agility and a little Might for extra damage. Best Skills for Maelle When building Maelle, focus hard on her Fire-based attacks to truly exploit the Medalum's bonuses: Rain of Fire Combustion Pyrolyse Burning Canvas (late-game unlock) Start fights strong by applying Burn immediately, especially when you open in Virtuose Stance. Adding Swift Stride to your skill set is a must — it keeps Maelle locked into Virtuose by refreshing it when she hits Burning enemies. Another great skill to slot is Fleuret Fury, which is perfect for smashing enemies with a full Break Bar while staying in Virtuose. Understanding Pictos & Luminas In Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Best Pictos & Luminas for Maelle Pictos and Luminas can supercharge this build if chosen correctly: Double Burn : Essential. Quadruple Burn stacks are possible when combined with Medalum's bonuses. Critical Burn: Boosts crit chance against burning targets. Burning Mark : Helps stack Burn even faster. Also, look for AP-boosting passives like Energising Start and Dead Energy to fuel your big attacks early. First Strike is another strong pick, ensuring Maelle always acts first. To add survivability, grab Healing Fire (heals Maelle when attacking Burning enemies) and Fueling Break (doubles Burn stacks when Breaking foes). Final Thoughts With this setup, Maelle becomes a Burn-stacking machine capable of melting enemies in seconds. Whether you're crushing story bosses or dominating in duels like the Gestral Tourney, this build turns her into one of the strongest characters in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 . Master the rhythm of her stances, stack that Burn, and watch everything go up in flames.
