Metaphor's ReFantazio Conquers Faithwight Magileto

Conquering the Faithwight Magileto in Metaphor: ReFantazio

Metaphor: ReFantazio's dungeons often feature formidable mini-bosses, and the Faithwight Magileto in the Spire of Blind Faith is a prime example. This challenging encounter requires strategic preparation and a bit of luck to overcome.

Faithwight Magileto: Weaknesses and Abilities

This level 50 foe can summon additional level 50 enemies, making it ill-advised to engage below level 45. Its arsenal includes potent dark and light magic, both single-target and AoE (Megidolaon), amplified by passive damage buffs. The Magileto also utilizes Soul Scream for extra Press Turn icons and can summon skeletal minions.

These summoned skeletons possess strong slashing attacks, dark magic, and access to potent healing spells, often restoring the Magileto to full health. Their weakness, however, lies in Strike attacks.

Strategies for Victory

Even at level 50, this battle is incredibly difficult. Preparation is key:

• Archetype Selection & Skill Inheritance: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to dark and light damage (Warlock, Thief). Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype to maximize Press Turn icons. The Magic Knight's Dark Dodge and the Healer's Light Dodge are crucial. Strength-focused Archetypes are advantageous if you have many unlocked and can utilize Skill Inheritance effectively.

• Essential Skills: Equip party-wide healing spells on at least two party members. Ensure all party members possess a Strike attack. Tetrabreak is recommended to counter Tetrakarn from summoned enemies. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.

• Gameplay Tactics: The fight involves a degree of luck, as consecutive Megidolaons can be devastating. Dark and Light Dodge skills mitigate this risk. Prioritize eliminating summoned allies before they heal the Magileto. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals per turn.

This battle demands a coordinated approach, leveraging weaknesses, mitigating damage, and swiftly dealing with summoned minions. Remember, even with optimal strategy, a degree of fortunate timing is essential for success.
