Pictos provide not only passive abilities but stats that can help you survive the battles in Expedition 33. The higher the level of the Picto, the higher the stats that it provides. However, note that once you learn the passives, you may have to change your Picto from time to time so that you can unlock more abilities for your party.
Once equipped, you must win battles four times to unlock a Picto’s passive. This is so that other members of your party can equip the passive ability. With that said, you can at maximum unlock 9 Pictos after every four encounters.
Lumina is the resource that you need to get the passive abilities unlocked by Pictos. Using Colour of Lumina in either the camp or in flags (after a certain part of the game), you can increase the amount of Lumina Points available for each character in the party. The more Lumina you have, the more passives that you can equip at any given time. Note that spending Lumina is permanent and any that you use will be spent and gone.
