Before we begin, here are all the attributes in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and what they each stand for:

• Vitality: Increases the base health of a character.
• Might: Enhances base attack, which allows dealing more damage.
• Agility: Improves character speed, which also allows them to move first on the turn-based battle timeline.
• Defense: Governs core Defense, reducing damage taken.
• Luck: Determines Critical damage, which increases the chances of landing Critical Hits that deal 50% increased damage.

Just like in games like Dark Souls, a character's weapon can scale with some of these attributes, making it easier for players to decide on stat distribution. That said, here are the attributes to focus on for each character:

• Gustave: The main hero of Expedition 33 has Overcharge as the biggest trick up his sleeve, which needs to be charged up via multi-strike combos. As such, it is best to focus on Might to further improve damage and Agility to allow him to go first in battle.
• Lune: She is the spellcaster of the party, and has access to many powerful offensive and support spells. We recommend investing in Vitality and Defense/Agility to make her tankier in combat.
• Maelle: The youngest Expedition member wields a powerful rapier to deal heavy damage. Hence, focusing on Might will make her deadlier, while Luck will allow her to crit more.
• Sciel: Similar to Maelle, Sciel can also deal big damage with her Dark powers, though this is augmented by a charge consumption mechanic like with Lune. With points in Might and Luck, she can be a solid substitute for Maelle.
• Verso: While focusing on Light damage, Verso can also deal multi-hit attacks to foes just like Gustave. Might and Luck are the way to go for him.
• Monoco: The wild card of the party is the shapeshifter Monoco, who can turn into defeated foes during battle and use their moves. It doesn't matter what attributes are invested in, though Vitality, Might, and Luck can be safe bets in the long run.
