How to respec in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Sometimes you just want a fresh start for your character, and Clair Obscur Expedition 33 knows your pain.

Whether you’re fixing a build gone wrong or trying out a whole new strategy. That’s where respeccing comes in. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you can reset and redistribute both your Skill Points and Attribute Points, but you’ll need a special item to make it happen.

Respec skills

To respec a character’s skills, follow these steps:

1. Head to any Expedition Flag Rest Point.
2. Choose “Learn Skills” from the menu.
3. Use the bumpers to tab over to the character you want to reset.
4. Hold down the designated button (Triangle on PlayStation) to use a Recoat.

All that character’s Skill Points are refunded, ready to be reassigned however you like. Just remember: this uses up one Recoat and only resets skills, not attributes.

Respec attributes

If you want to rework a character’s stats like Strength or Agility, here’s how:

1. While at a Rest Point, select “Upgrade Attributes.”
2. Tab over to the character you want to respec.
3. Hold the Triangle button (or equivalent) to consume another Recoat.
4. All Attribute Points are refunded, so you can tailor their build from scratch.

Again, it’s one Recoat per type of respec. So if you want a full reset – both attributes and skills – you’ll need two Recoats for that one character.

How to get Recoats

Recoats aren’t exactly growing on trees, so here’s where to find them:

• Buy them from Gestral Traders scattered across the world.
• Explore thoroughly; you might stumble across a few in hidden places.
• Defeat enemies; some foes have a (very slim) chance to drop them.

Because Recoats are limited, it’s a good idea to think carefully before using them. Save them for when you’ve got a new strategy or need a serious mid-game pivot.
