Equipping the Kralim on your Lune will transform her into a lore-accurate version of her character; an elemental powerhouse. The Kralim has impressive stats, with 3390 power and lightning element properties. This weapon also scales well with Lune’s abilities, and has S-rank Agility scaling and A-rank Vitality scaling at maximum level. 

Most importantly, its mechanics represent how Lune would most likely fight in Expedition 33. With her mastery of the elements, constantly switching between different elemental skills to deal more damage absolutely makes sense. 

This Expedition 33 Kralim Guide will list down the three abilities that you’ll unlock as you level up this weapon:

  • Level 4 – Element Switch Bonus: Casting any elemental skill grants +20% damage to all other elements. This bonus resets if you use the same element twice consecutively.
  • Level 10 – Stain Generation: At the start of each turn, Kralim automatically generates 2 random Stains if Lune has none.
  • Level 20 – Stain Consumption Bonus: Each time Lune consumes Stains, she gains +1 Action Point.

How to Find Kralim: Two Methods

Method 1: Random Drop (Not Recommended)

You can find Kralim as a random drop while exploring The Continent. However, this method relies entirely on luck and offers extremely low drop rates. You’d most likely end up spending countless hours farming without success.

Method 2: Yellow Harvest Boss Fight (Guaranteed)

Defeating the Chromatic Orphelin boss in the Yellow Harvest area is the best way to obtain the Kralim. This Expedition 33 Kralim Guide recommends this method to guarantee that you’ll get the weapon. Here’s a step-by-step location guide:

  1. Start from Gestrals Village and head north
  2. Locate the Expedition Flag near Yellow Stalagmites wreck
  3. Continue to the clearing area
  4. Take the right path toward the collapsed cave entrance
  5. Navigate through the cave tunnel
  6. Find the Chromatic Orphelin marked by red glow

Upgrading Your Kralim

  • Levels 9-19: Resplendent Chroma Catalyst x27
