Weapons, Attributes and Upgrades
In Expedition 33, weapons are pivotal to your team's success. Each weapon and character skill inflicts different types of elemental damage, which can be more or less effective against various Nevrons. Characters can wield multiple weapons that enhance attribute scaling as you level up, unlocking special bonuses at levels 4, 10, and 20. Delve deeper into Weapons, Attributes, and Upgrades to enhance your gameplay.
Pictos and Luminas
Pictos are versatile items that boost stats and offer unique effects. Each character can equip up to three Pictos, and with the Lumina system, you can further customize your setup. If you're facing tough encounters, tweaking your Pictos can provide extra defense, increase damage, or buff your team with effects like Shell or Powerful. Explore more about Pictos and the Lumina system, a crucial aspect of Expedition 33's progression.
Early Game Pictos Guides
The Pictos system offers ample customization for your party, but some Pictos shine in the early game. Keep an eye out for Dead Energy II and Critical Burn, engage in side-content to acquire the "lone wolf" style Last Stand Pictos, and use Recovery to transform a character into a formidable tank.
