Remove the damage cap with Painted Power in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 or enable Challenge Modifiers. See how to remove the damage cap and ways to reach the damage cap in here.
How to Change the Damage Cap
Enable Challenge Modifiers
As of the game's 1.3.0 patch, the game now allows you to choose whether your damage will still be capped to 99,999 or 999,999. This is purely for challenge purposes and is only accessible after unlocking Act 3: Maelle.
To access this setting, go to any Expedition Flag and go to the Challenge settings, you will be given an option to either cap your damage or leave it uncapped.

Equip Pictos and Luminas that grant a damage boost after meeting certain conditions to boost damage dealt. Equip these Lumina and meet their conditions by synergizing with other passives, such as accessing Burn Affinity on the 1st turn by equipping Auto Death and Burning Death on another party member.
Best Pictos for Each Character
Use Multi-Hit Skills
Prior to Painted Power, players can deal over 9,999 damage in Act 1 and Act 2 by reaching the damage cap multiple times using multi-hit skills. This allows players to deal respectable damage on stronger bosses such as Sprong without relying on Painted Power.
Additionally, Lune can cast Storm Caller to add a small amount of Lightning damage per hit, allowing skills to "deal" over 9,999 damage even with the damage cap in place.
Level Up Characters
It is imperative to level up your characters and increase the attributes matching their weapon's scaling. This increases the Attack Power stat that directly affects damage dealt.
While no weapons scale directly with Might, raising this stat directly increases the Attack Power of a character. It is recommended to focus on this attribute after raising the stats the weapon scales with to maximize damage dealt.
Upgrade Weapons
Upgrade your weapons to increase the Attack Power of your character. Weapons have the highest contribution to Attack Power, as the increases in attribute scaling vary depending on the weapon's base power and letter scaling.
