Lumina in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a gameplay system tied to the Pictos items that players collect during their playthrough. Luminas are passive abilities associated with these Pictos, providing stat boosts and buffs that help characters in battle
Key Aspects of Lumina in Expedition 33:
- Lumina Abilities : These are passive boosts unlocked by "Mastering" Pictos, which means using a Pictos in four battles. Once mastered, the Lumina ability linked to that Pictos can be equipped by any character without needing the Pictos itself
- Lumina Points : Characters earn Lumina Points primarily by leveling up-each level gained grants one Lumina Point. These points are required to equip Lumina abilities, and each Lumina has a point cost. Players can also increase Lumina Points using a resource called Colour of Lumina, which can be found as loot, battle rewards, or purchased from merchants
- Equipping Luminas : Unlike Pictos, which can only be equipped to one character at a time, Lumina abilities can be activated on multiple characters simultaneously. However, a character cannot activate a Lumina if they already have the associated Pictos equipped
- Strategic Importance : Managing Luminas and Pictos is crucial for character builds, as Luminas provide passive effects without combat stat bonuses, while Pictos provide both effects and sub-stat bonuses. Players must balance these to optimize their party's performance
In summary, Lumina in Expedition 33 is a system of passive abilities linked to Pictos that enhance characters through Lumina Points earned by leveling and special resources, allowing for strategic customization and stronger builds in combat
