Monoco Skill Details – Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

The following is a list of all skills Monoco can use, enriched with additional information not specified by the game, such as turn durations for effects and relative damage multipliers.

The damage multipliers were calculated based on the observation that, under certain conditions, your base attack deals damage exactly equal to your current Attack Power stat, assuming no additional effects are being used to augment it. This forms the baseline regarded as a 100% multiplier against which skills are compared.

Assuming equivalent elemental affinity, a skill that does 1500 damage against an enemy that takes 1000 damage from your base attack while you have 1000 Attack Power is regarded as having a 150% multiplier.

This pattern does not work for calculating Burn, however. While it increases based on Attack Power, it does not increase in a consistent way that makes it clear what value to assign to it. It appears it can also vary based on your own health (adding more health has caused it to go down).

The variance present in multiplier listings describes the minimum to maximum range of potential results based on performance during the QTEs. Enabling the Automatic QTE accessibility setting places your damage somewhere in the middle. Typically, the minimum describes failing the first QTE and not being presented with further inputs, and the maximum describes perfectly executing every QTE, but some skills have custom behavior. 

The skills are grouped by mask, then listed in ascending order of AP/Gradient costs. Beneath the list, I offer some observations about possible ways to use Monoco given the information.

Observations

• Monoco’s damage is significantly affected by current mask, so you’ll generally want to bring strong skills for each mask that complement each other to maintain consistent damage.
• One interesting exception to mask-dependence is Glaise Earthquakes, with a high default multiplier, low AP cost, and all enemy targeting making it great for mob clearing.
• The damage payoffs for masks are surprisingly consistent, with most being 3× while Almighty mask skills gain 5×.
• Note that some more expensive skills actually do less damage, but in exchange come with additional effects.
• Monoco has a lot of options for very high damage on his first turn if you can get the right masks, and he can stay on the higher end with certain sequences like an Almighty skill then Création Void. An example of mine putting this to use against Simon.
