Seeing as this is a requirement to progress the main story, it is impossible to miss the Pictos. However, the large amount of story exposition after the boss fight may cause you to forget that you have the Pictos in your inventory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Painted Power gives a massive Health boost on top of the damage cap removal but as with all Pictos, you need to complete at least four battles with it equipped on an active party member to turn it into a Lumina. Only when those four battles are completed will you be able to equip the Painted Power Lumina to all of your party members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1273\" height=\"717\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1273px) 100vw, 1273px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250501-47622-002.jpg\" alt=\"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 over 9,999 damage\" class=\"wp-image-47626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250501-47622-002.jpg 1273w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250501-47622-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250501-47622-002-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"painted-power-s-effects-are-immediately-noticeable\">Painted Power\u2019s effects are immediately noticeable&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Painted Power Lumina costs five Lumina Points to equip and is a wise investment. Party members with the Pictos or Lumina equipped can hit more than double the 9,999 damage cap. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33\u2019s endgame content becomes accessible once Act 3 begins, so your first order of business after completing Act 2 is to turn the Painted Power Pictos into a Lumina for each party member to use.
