Goblu Attack Patterns in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Goblu has three distinct damage-dealing attacks and one shield-generating attack in Clair Obscur Expedition 33. The attacks that Goblu uses are: Grow Flowers, Absorb Flowers, Goblu Jumps, Goblu Crushes, Goblu Combos.
The Goblu Jump ability deals damage to the entire team, while the other two are single-target oriented. When Goblu starts attacking, the attack name will appear at the top. Follow the attack name and prepare yourself to dodge or parry them. Here are all the attacks of Goblu with their parry/dodge timings:
- Goblu Grows and Absorbs Flowers: Goblu will occasionally grow flowers and then absorb them later to obtain shields. The more Flowers Goblu absorbs, the more protection he obtains.
- Parry/Dodge timing for Goblu Jumps:
- Parry/Dodge timing for Goblu Crushes:
- Parry/Dodge timing for Goblu Combos:
Goblu’s Jump can be parried thrice to execute an Expedition 33 counter, which deals a ton of extra damage. This attack deals minimal damage, so it is more rewarding to try parrying it. The Goblu Crushes attack is a high damage single-target attack that can kill one of your characters instantly. The move is fairly easy to read, and it’s better if you dodge it to get an even bigger time frame. The Goblu Combo attack includes two hits, and parrying both will initiate a counter.
When Goblu absorbs the flowers to get shields, you must hit him first to break the shields. While Goblu has shields, he won’t take damage from attacks.
Goblu’s Weakness and Resistances in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Goblu has one elemental weakness and one elemental resistance. Sadly, Goblu has no weak point, so you shouldn’t waste time and AP in finding his weak point with free aim. Now, let’s take a look at Goblu’s weaknesses:
- Goblu’s Elemental Weakness: Lightning
- Goblu’s Elemental Resistance: Ice
Goblu is weak to the Lightning Elemental skills and resistant to Ice Elemental skills. This means that Goblu takes double damage against Lightning attacks and half damage against Ice attacks. So, equip your characters with Lightning Skills and remove all the Ice Skills.

Goblu is a fairly challenging boss, mainly due to the strong damage-dealing attacks and his shields that block damage. Here are the best tips that you can follow to defeat Goblu easily in Clair Obscur Expedition 33:
