Lumina Points in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are a key gameplay resource used to activate passive abilities called Luminas, which are linked to items called Pictos. Here’s how they work:
- Each character starts with a number of Lumina Points equal to their level. For example, a level 10 character has 10 Lumina Points to spend on Luminas
- Luminas are passive effects unlocked by "mastering" Pictos. To master a Picto, you must equip it on a character and win 4 battles with that character in your active party. Once mastered, the Lumina effect associated with that Picto becomes available to all party members, even if they don't have the Picto equipped
- Lumina Points limit how many Lumina effects a character can have active simultaneously. Each Lumina costs a certain number of points, so you must manage your points to equip the most beneficial Luminas for each character
- You gain Lumina Points primarily by leveling up characters (1 point per level) and by using a resource called Colour of Lumina, which can be found in the world, earned from battles, side quests, or bought from merchants. After unlocking a character called The Curator at your camp, you can spend Colour of Lumina to increase your characters' Lumina Points beyond their level-based total
- The system allows for strategic customization, as you can mix and match Luminas learned from different characters to enhance your party’s overall combat effectiveness
In summary, Lumina Points are a currency tied to character progression and resource collection that lets you unlock and activate powerful passive abilities across your party, enabling deep tactical builds in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
