All Pictos in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Pictos are vital accessories in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, each granting passive effects and unlocking Luminas—powerful abilities that define your characters' combat roles. Every character can equip up to 3 Pictos, and mastering the right setup is essential for optimizing your build. Pictos can be found through various means: looted from Paint Cages, rewarded by NPCs, dropped by bosses or specific enemies, and purchased from Gestral Merchants. Some encounters drop unique Pictos only once per playthrough after their first defeat, so don’t miss them. Each Picto is associated with one or more attributes (like Agility, Defense, or Crit Rate) and links to a Lumina. To unlock a Lumina, equip the Picto and win four battles—after which the golden border will indicate it’s mastered. Planning your party’s equipped Pictos is key to triggering synergies between weapons, attributes, and Luminas. Use this interactive page to browse all Pictos in Expedition 33, filter by attribute, effect, or character usage, and find the best Picto combinations to enhance your team's power.
Expedition 33 Pictos Guide – How to Equip, Unlock Luminas & Optimize Stats
In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Pictos are essential accessories that directly impact your characters' stats and unlock powerful Luminas. Each character can equip up to three Pictos at a time, but duplicates across characters are not allowed. Equipping the right Picto setup can significantly enhance a character’s performance in both offense and support roles.
Pictos come in various stat types—Health, Speed, Defense, Critical Rate, and more. These not only boost base stats but also determine the type of Luminas a character can unlock through repeated battle use. Once a Lumina is learned (after winning four battles with the associated Picto equipped), it can be used freely—even without equipping the original Picto.
Effective Picto management is key to high-difficulty encounters. Late-game Pictos offer massive stat boosts and special effects that can define your strategy. Whether you're building a crit-based Maelle or a supportive Lune, your choice of Pictos matters as much as your skills and weapons.
Quick Picto Tips
- Equip up to 3 Pictos per character.
- No duplicate Pictos allowed between party members.
- Pictos grant stats and unlock Luminas after 4 battles.
- Match Picto attributes with weapon scaling and role.
- Late-game Pictos can shift your entire strategy.
