A full breakdown of Lumina requirements
No fluff. No filler. Just a straight-to-the-point breakdown of the most overpowered Verso loadout that can one-hit nearly every boss in Expedition 33.
Party Composition and Attribute Setup
To run this endgame Verso build efficiently, you'll need the right trio: Verso, Maelle, and CL. Each plays a specific role, and your attribute distribution should match their functions.
-
Maelle: Max out Might, Agility, and Defense. This lets her provide consistent damage and shield utility while staying durable.
-
CL: Focus on Might, Agility, and Luck. She's here for buffs, so you'll want fast actions and better odds with support skills.
-
Verso (your main): Invest heavily in Vitality, Might, and Agility. This blend gives Verso survivability, strong DPS potential, and quick turns to maintain pressure.
This attribute alignment ensures the team synergizes well, giving Verso all the support he needs to shine in high-difficulty encounters.
Best Weapons for Each Character
Each weapon in this build is chosen for its synergy with your character's role and skills:
-
Maelle: Yeam
You’ll get this from a trader in Renoir's Draft after unlocking the underwater traversal skill with Esqi. It grants a shield with each shell applied, boosts damage per shield via luminars, and gives AP on shield application. Switching to Virtuosa stance doubles shield count—massively increasing Verso's burst potential. -
CL: Lethison
This support-focused weapon enhances CL’s buffing efficiency, especially when combined with Fortune’s Fury and Intervention. It's essential to keep Verso fueled with boosts before he attacks. -
Verso: Samoso
Samoso deals light damage and can inflict burn on skill damage. Even better, if you’re Rank A or higher, you can’t die. It's dropped by the hardest boss in the game, but you can beat that boss using the Myel build and skill combo outlined below.
Pro Tip for Unlocking Samoso:
Equip First Strike on Maelle. Use Last Chance, then follow up with Tendal. Boss goes down in 2 turns—weapon secured.
Skill Loadout Per Character
For maximum efficiency and simplicity, this build uses a tight, effective set of skills. Here's what each team member should have equipped:
-
Maelle
-
Last Chance: A high-damage, shield-generating opener that triggers buffs.
-
Offensive Switch: Applies Greater Defenseless to enemies, crucial for softening them before Verso's attack.
-
-
CL
-
Fortune’s Fury: A support skill that boosts Verso’s damage output.
-
Intervention: Helps maintain buffs and flow in longer fights.
-
-
Verso
-
Overload: Push Verso to Rank A for invincibility and unlock massive DPS.
-
Free Aim Shots: Used repeatedly to build up damage bonuses.
-
Follow Up: Ends the combo with a finisher that scales off previous free shots for burst damage.
-
You can mix in other skills to suit your playstyle, but these are the backbone of the build and support the one-move nuke strategy perfectly.
Lumina Requirements & Allocation
To power this build, you'll need a specific amount of Lumina points per character. Here’s the breakdown:
-
Verso: 359 points
-
Maelle: 265 points
-
CL: 208 points
You can acquire these through normal progression, but make sure Verso gets top priority. Many of his Luminars are DPS-focused and non-negotiable if you want to consistently delete bosses in one rotation.
Luminas and Pictos Breakdown
The real power in this Verso build comes from the Luminars and Pictos setup. Here’s how to allocate them efficiently by character:
🧠 CL (Support Role)
-
Luminars: Only used for her skill activation. You can use filler Luminars, but nothing specific is needed.
-
Pictos Priority:
-
Speed (top priority)
-
Agility or cooldown reduction (if available)
-
🔥 Maelle (Shield and Debuff Specialist)
-
Key Luminars:
-
Auto Rush, Greater Rush
-
First Offensive, Glass Cannon, Immaculate
-
Longer, Powerful, Powerful Shield
-
SOS Power, SOS Shell, Stay Marked
-
Cheater, Confident Fighter, Inverted Affinity
These Luminars increase shield effects, AP gain, and debuff power.
-
-
Pictos Priority:
-
Speed
-
Critical Strike
-
Greater Defenseless (to apply it consistently with her base attacks)
-
💥 Verso (Main DPS Engine)
Verso is Lumina-intensive, and every slot matters. While the full list is long, focus on these high-impact Luminars:
-
Acceleration Shots, Auto Rush, Augmented Aim
-
Burning Shots, Burning Mark, Breaking Shots, Breaking Burn
-
Beneficial Contamination, Energizing Burn, Energizing Shots
-
Energy Master, Breaker
These enhance damage, burning effects, and allow longer combos. The synergy between Burn, Free Shots, and Follow Up is what gives this build its one-turn boss kill potential.
Pro Tip: Always prioritize Luminars that improve:
-
Shot damage
-
Burn status
-
AP regeneration
-
Marked enemy effects
Skill Rotation Guide: One-Turn Boss Killer
Here’s the full, turn-by-turn breakdown of how to execute this Verso build in combat. Follow this exact sequence to maximize buffs, apply debuffs, and deal lethal damage in just one attack cycle.
▶ Step 1: Maelle's Turn
-
Use Last Chance to apply shields and prep for Virtuosa stance.
-
Switch to Virtuosa Stance — this doubles your shields, boosting all shield-based bonuses.
-
Activate Offensive Switch to apply Greater Defenseless to the enemy.
-
If there are multiple enemies, use your Base Attack (in this build, even base attacks can trigger Greater Defenseless).
▶ Step 2: Verso’s First Turn
-
Use Overload — this guarantees Verso reaches Rank A, granting near-invincibility.
-
Begin spamming Free Aim Shots. These build up combo bonuses and AP-efficient damage.
-
Goal: Reach Rank S by the end of this sequence. Don't stop attacking unless AP runs out.
▶ Step 3: CL’s Turn
-
Use Fortune’s Fury to boost Verso’s next attack.
-
Follow it immediately with Intervention for even more stacking effects.
▶ Step 4: Verso’s Final Turn
-
Keep firing Free Aim Shots until you have exactly 2 AP left.
-
Now use Follow Up — this skill scales based on the number of free shots used earlier in the turn.
-
The result? One massive hit capable of deleting any endgame enemy, including New Game+ bosses.
If executed correctly, most enemies won’t even survive to act. It’s a clean, efficient loop with minimal waste and maximum reward.
