Where to Find Chation – Sciel’s Best Weapon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

on

If you're planning to build Sciel into a Sun-powered glass cannon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, then Chation is the must-have weapon for your arsenal. Dealing base Dark damage and scaling with Vitality and Luck, Chation transforms Sciel's Sun skills into devastating burst options with the right build.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through both ways to obtain Chation, break down its weapon passives, and explain why it's a game-changer for offensive builds.

📍 Two Ways to Get Chation in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

You can obtain Chation at two different points in the game—early in the Stone Wave Cliffs, or later in the Flying Manor with an upgraded version.

✅ Option 1: Early Game Drop – Stone Wave Cliffs

This is the first opportunity to grab Chation, and it comes fairly early on.

Steps to find it:

  1. Progress through Stone Wave Cliffs via the main path.

  2. Continue until you reach the destroyed airship.

  3. Go through the tunnel formed by its remains.

  4. Cross the platform and keep following the path.

  5. Near a bridge, you’ll face two enemies:

    • Greatsword Cultist

    • Reaper Cultist

After defeating them, you’ll receive:

  • Chation (base level)

  • Energising Pain icon

🔥 Option 2: Late Game Drop – Flying Manor

Chation Weapon Guide, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Missed the first drop or want a stronger version? You can get a level 28 Chation in the Flying Manor.

Here’s how:

  1. Progress to the Flying Manor in the late game.

  2. Your goal is to defeat the boss known as Cruler, who lurks behind several mini-bosses.

  3. Upon victory, you’ll obtain:

    • Level 28 Chation

This version is ideal if you want to avoid leveling the early version from scratch.

⚔️ Why Chation is Sciel’s Best Weapon

Chation isn’t just about Dark damage—it completely changes the behavior of Sciel’s Sun skills. With increasing weapon levels, you unlock powerful (and risky) passives:

🧪 Weapon Passive Effects

  • Level 4: Sun skills apply 10 Foretelling, but damage Sciel takes is doubled. (High-risk, high-reward!)

  • Level 10: Basic attacks grant 1 Lune charge and consume Foretelling to apply Burning.

  • Level 20: Burn damage is increased by 100% when Sciel is in Twilight.

These passives reward aggressive, precision-based play—and punish mistakes. With the right Pictos and Luminas, you can create a Foretelling-based chain reaction of Sun and Moon attacks.

🔧 How to Optimize Chation in Sciel’s Build

To maximize Chation’s potential:

  • Stack Vitality and Luck for optimal scaling.

  • Equip Luminas or Pictos that benefit from:

    • Burn status

    • Low HP bonuses

    • Foretelling effects

  • Pair with skills that help you enter Twilight mode for the 100% burn damage bonus.

  • Keep a backup weapon or hybrid strategy if the doubled incoming damage is too punishing.

💡 Pro Tip: Try combining Chation with Twilight-triggering support from Lune or paint-themed elemental builds for synergy.

If you’re going for a high-skill, high-reward playstyle, Chation turns Sciel into one of the most fun and dangerous characters in the game.
