Maelle is one of my personal favorite characters in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 when it comes to combat mechanics. Her style revolves around dueling and incorporates three different Stances that buff her skills in different ways.
I think Maelle's best build utilizes her many excellent Fire-based elemental attacks and a unique weapon that automatically places her in Virtuose Stance at the beginning of each battle. This build synergizes really well with Lune's Fire attacks and Gustave's Break-building style, and is viable all the way from Act 1 to Act 3. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 's gameplay , Maelle has three distinct Stances that give her different buffs based on which Stance she is in and which skills she uses.
She will switch between Stances each turn depending
