Struggling with Pétank that keeps stacking shields in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? In this guide, we’ll show you a fast and effective way to break through enemy shields using one of Mel’s most useful early-game skills: Breaking Rules in the game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Why Enemy Shields Are a Problem Early Game
At the start of the game, enemy shields can be hard to deal with. You might not have strong skills yet to break or go through them. Hitting the shields again and again uses up your action points, which you could use to attack or heal instead. Enemies like Pétank put up a lot of shields, and if you don’t break them in time, they can hit you with really powerful attacks.
The Solution: Mel’s Skill – Breaking Rules
If you want to remove enemy shields quickly, Maelle has a great and easy skill that can help. It’s called Breaking Rules, and it doesn’t cost much to use. This skill hits an enemy with light damage twice and breaks all of their shields at once. For every shield it destroys, you get back 1 action point (AP), which is really helpful. And if the enemy is already weak (called Defenseless), you even get to take another turn right away. This makes Breaking Rules super useful.
