Lumina Points in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are a resource that limits how many Lumina Effects (passive abilities) a character can have active simultaneously. Each Lumina Effect is associated with a Pictos, a type of equipment that grants passive bonuses and unlocks these Lumina Effects after being used in four battles with that character
Key Details about Lumina Points:
- Allocation: Each character's total Lumina Points start equal to their level. For example, a character at level 20 will have 20 Lumina Points to spend on Lumina Effects
- Gaining Lumina Points: Characters earn 1 Lumina Point per level gained. Additional Lumina Points can be permanently unlocked by using a resource called Colour of Lumina at the Curator in camp, with each Colour of Lumina increasing a character's Lumina Points by 1
- Using Lumina Points: Lumina Points are spent to activate unlocked Lumina Effects on characters. You can only equip as many Lumina Effects as your Lumina Points allow, as each Lumina has a point cost
- Unlocking Lumina Effects: To unlock a Lumina Effect, you must equip the corresponding Pictos on a character and win 4 battles with it. Once unlocked, the Lumina Effect can be used by any character without needing the Pictos equipped
- No Stat Bonuses: Unlike Pictos, Lumina Effects do not provide sub-stat bonuses; they offer passive abilities that can enhance combat in various ways
How to Get More Lumina Points:
- Leveling up characters naturally grants Lumina Points.
- Using Colour of Lumina items, which can be found as loot, earned from battles, side quests, or purchased from merchants, allows you to permanently increase Lumina Points beyond the character’s level
In summary, Lumina Points are a crucial mechanic in managing your characters' passive abilities in Expedition 33 , enabling you to customize and enhance your party's combat effectiveness by strategically unlocking and equipping Lumina Effects.
