How to Respec In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has finally been released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and the gaming community wasted no time getting into the thick of it. This action-adventure RPG features a large roster of party members that can be customized to suit your playstyle; however, the developers included a feature where every upgrade can be recalled, and resources can be allocated elsewhere, essentially respeccing your entire character and allowing a different skill set to be used.

Your crew will gain skill points as you gain more experience, and the opportunities for different playstyles are endless. This is everything you must know if you plan to reorganize your party members’ skill tree on their quest to defeat the Paintress.

Respeccing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Requires a Specific Consumable Item

To reset your characters in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you will need a handful of Recoats, a rare consumable with the sole function of resetting your character’s attribute and skill points. It is worth noting that a single Recoat can only reset a specific branch and single character, meaning you must secure a decent haul. Throughout the story, your roster will increase, and each member will have unique traits to help you in battle.

The combination of a turn-based and real-time combat system can get the juices pumping, especially in tougher encounters. While it may be a learning curve to understand the basics of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, there are a few ways to win by dodging and parrying incoming attacks. These basic tips can ensure your survival and fruitful rewards like Recoats.

You can find Recoats after defeating the optional bosses, and spot a few while exploring the open world. Recoats can also be rewarded after winning a skirmish against smaller enemies. While you have options to secure this rare resource, it will take a mighty effort to get enough to reset most of your characters. If you have enough on your person, you can’t just open a menu and reset your skills and attributes on the spot.

How to Respec Your Skills and Attributes in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

Here is a step-by-step process of properly resetting your characters:

• Find an Expedition Flag rest point.
• Open the menu, then select ‘Learn Skills‘ or ‘Upgrade Attributes‘.
• Select which character you wish to respec.
• Hold triangle on your DualSense controller for PlayStation 5 and Y for Xbox Series X/S.
• Your hard-earned points will be credited back to you.

If your party members are low on health, head to the nearest Expedition Flag rest point. Your characters’ health will be replenished, and this is where you can respec attribute and skill points. This menu gives you a second chance to rework and organize your skills and provides more playstyle options.

With that done, you’ll have an entirely fresh-feeling group to approach the many arduous tasks in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but make sure you’re careful with your choices, as there’s not an unlimited amount of Recoats available, so respeccing is limited, and choices must be made.
