Weapons, attributes, upgrades
Weapons are the central part of building a team in Expedition 33. Each weapon (and character skills) handles a variety of elemental damage types. Each character has a variety of weapons that increase the attribute scaling of the level, and unlock special bonuses at levels 4, 10, and 20. Read more about weapons, attributes and upgrades.
Pictus and Lumina
Pictos are any item that gives statistics and various unique effects. Each character can equip three picts, but you can get even more special effects using the Lumina system. If you’re struggling to meet, change your Pitot to gain more defenses, add damage, or buff your team with shells or powerful ones. Learn more about Expedition 33’s core progression features, Pictos and The Lumina System. Use ING’s Pictos checklist to track where you can and where you can find it.
Early Game Pict Guide
The Pictos system provides plenty of space to customize your party and build each character the way you want, but there are some particularly powerful pictos during the early games. Keep an eye out for Dead Energy II and Critical Burn. Turn one character into a super tank with complete side content from the “Lone Wolf” style final stand Pictos and recovery!
