A Lumina in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a passive ability that players unlock by using a Pictos item in battle four times. Once unlocked, the Lumina ability can be equipped on any character, even if they do not have the original Pictos equipped, allowing the passive effect to benefit multiple party members simultaneously
. Key points about Lumina and Expedition 33:
- Pictos and Luminas: Pictos are items found during exploration that provide passive effects when equipped on a character. After using a Pictos in four battles, its Lumina-the associated passive ability-is unlocked and can be assigned freely to other characters
- Lumina Points: Each Lumina ability requires a certain number of Lumina Points to activate. Characters earn Lumina Points by leveling up or by using a resource called Colour of Lumina. This system limits how many Lumina abilities a character can equip at once
- Gameplay impact: Luminas enhance character builds by providing passive boosts and buffs that improve combat effectiveness. They work in the background and are crucial for optimizing party strength and overcoming difficult battles
- Flexibility: Players can switch Pictos and Luminas outside of combat to experiment with different builds, making Luminas a versatile system for customizing character abilities
In summary, a Lumina in Expedition 33 is a passive ability derived from Pictos items, unlocked through repeated use in battle, and used to strengthen characters by granting passive bonuses without needing to equip the original Pictos item
