Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Game of the Year update brought with it an even tougher version of the game's hardest boss, Simon The Divergent Star. However, the additional pictos and weapons that come along with the update mean one talented streamer has already figured out how to defeat the new and improved Simon with a single strike.
BltzZ got right to work once the update went live, combining pictos and creating builds that would be the most effective against Expedition 33's upgraded Simon. With no weaknesses and the ability to wipe your party with a single blow, even before the update, Simon was about as powerful a foe as there is to be found on The Continent.
The idea that Simon has somehow become even more formidable is more than someone like me, whose builds rarely muster up moves that go beyond the uncapped 9,999 damage you can deal throughout the first two acts of the game, is pretty terrifying. Not to BltzZ, though, who already has a Maelle capable of emptying Simon's health bar with a single move.
Using a gradient charge and with Fortune's Fury applied so that she doles out double damage, Maelle hits Simon...
