My favorite part of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a French JRPG filled with incredible music and characters and twists and sights, is the way you get to customize your party. I am, in my bone marrow, a buildcrafter. And Pictos and Luminas, the equipped and background versions of the passive abilities you've collected, essentially let you rewrite the rules of Clair Obscur in a way I find irresistible.
If you put a Lumina on everyone in your party, that's just how the game works now. Why yes, I would like to heal the entire team every time I parry an attack. And equipping the right combination of Pictos can give you the stats you need to support each character's play style, whether they're a damage dealer or a supportive healer and buffer – or, as I learned in an unintended bit of sequence breaking, a god who functionally cannot be killed.
