Metaphor Triumphs over Belief: ReFantazio Defeats 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 enemy can summon additional level 50 foes, 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. It also employs Soul Scream for extra Press Turn icons and can summon skeletal minions.

These minions boast slashing attacks, dark magic, and potent healing abilities, quickly restoring the Magileto's health. Their weakness is Strike attacks.

Strategies for Victory

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

• Archetype Selection: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to Dark and Light damage (Warlock, Thief). Skill Inheritance is crucial for acquiring Strike skills (from Brawler) and Dodge skills (Dark Dodge from Magic Knight, Light Dodge from Healer). Strength-focused Archetypes are beneficial if you have many unlocked and can utilize Skill Inheritance effectively.

• Skill Set: Equip party-wide healing spells on at least two members and ensure every character has a Strike attack to maximize Press Turn icons. Tetrabreak is valuable for countering Tetrakarn used by summoned enemies. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.

• Gameplay Tactics: The fight involves some luck; consecutive Megidolaons are nearly insurmountable. Prioritize eliminating summoned minions swiftly to prevent healing. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals per turn. Dark and Light Dodge skills significantly mitigate damage from the Magileto's attacks.

This fight demands precision and a degree of fortune. By focusing on Strike attacks, mitigating magical damage, and quickly eliminating summoned allies, you'll significantly improve your chances of defeating this formidable foe.
