The Ultimate Lune Build Guide for Expedition 33
Welcome to the ultimate Lune build guide for Expedition 33. Whether you’re just starting your journey or diving deep into the endgame, this article covers everything you need to know—from early-game tips to endgame builds that can deal hundreds of millions of damage.
This guide is divided into several sections:
Starter Tips – Basic gameplay and stat allocation
Best Weapons & Pictos – From early to mid-game
Abilities & Combos – How to maximize your damage
Endgame Builds – Including a critical damage setup and a “game-breaking” combo
Late Game Strategy – Optimizing Lune for AoE destruction
Spoiler Warnings – Major spoilers are clearly marked beyond Act 2
Let’s get started!
1. Getting Started: Tips for Beginners
Here are some spoiler-free, foundational tips for Lune:
Picto Slots: Early on, use the 3 free Picto slots primarily for base stat boosts, not passive abilities. Focus on boosting Critical Chance, Speed, and Health.
Speed is essential: It determines turn order and can let you act twice before enemies. It’s often more important than raw damage early on.
Attribute Allocation: Before level 30, focus on Might to increase damage output. Only add points to Agility if enemies begin acting twice before you.
2. Early to Mid-Game Weapons and Pictos
Recommended Weapons
Deminerim and Kralim: Both are excellent choices early on and are easily obtainable. They’ll carry you comfortably until you hit the damage cap.
Pictos (Pre-Level 30)
Use any Pictos that:
Increase Speed
Support Lumina economy (optional)
Complement your main damage output from Might and weapon level
3. Lune’s Best Ability Combos (Early Game)
Start the game using Ice Lance and Immolation, but aim to unlock:
Electrify (to gather stains)
Crustal Crush (to spend stains)
Rockslide for breaking enemies
Thunderfall as an optional backup
This combo setup will serve you well until you relocate your build around level 33.
4. Post-Level 33: The Critical Chance Build
Why Critical Chance?
At level 33, you can relocate your attribute points and build for 100% Critical Hit Chance, unlocking the devastating Elemental Trick + Elemental Genesis combo.
Elemental Trick: Requires a Crit to give you one of each stain
Elemental Genesis: Deals 8x 10k capped AoE damage
Attribute Reallocation
Spend up to 53 points in Luck
Equip 3 high-value Critical Chance pictos
