HOW I BEAT SIMON | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | No Commentary Yet
561Y'all, Maelle's Thanos Snap is the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me.
You'll see that I did some things a little differently when preparing for the fight.
First, I did the most extensive grind for Lumina. I fought the Merchant and Nevrons around Renoir's Draft until Google's AI told me about returning to Old Lumire to fight the Chromatic Dancer. JUST FIGHT THE CLONES AND LEAVE THE CHROMATIC DANCER ALIVE!. I did it for a legit hour a d made 1100-ish in Lumina. That allowed for each team member to have roughly 470 to toy around with.
Secondly, fight Simon to refine which Picto or skill works best.
Lastly, I placed only Verso and Monoco in the active roster. That allows for Verso to not have a perfection disability, and when they are killed off, the tanks and howitzers in the reserves unit to make freedom rain.
Also, you have to know beating Simon is still largely luck and not as much skill. I fought him enough times to learn the parrying for his short and long combos and could get Speed of Light a few time in the first and second phases. There's no transition phase between the second and third phase so you have to be worried about the tripple attack combos and his nefarious FULL TEAM WIPE. That's right he can "Remove Expedition 33 From The Canvas" despite having full health and living. So, yeah, it's a fight of attrition hoping to have a little luck.
