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 foe requires strategic preparation and a bit of luck to overcome.
Faithwight Magileto: Weaknesses and Abilities
This level 50 enemy can summon additional level 50 allies, 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 minions possess strong slashing attacks, dark magic, and access to powerful healing spells. Their weakness, however, lies in Strike attacks.
| Weakness | Repel | Resists | Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strike | Light, Pierce, Electric |
Strategies for Victory
Even at level 50, this battle is exceptionally tough. Preparation is key:
- Archetype Selection: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to Dark, Light, and Slashing damage (Warlock and Thief are good options).
- Skill Inheritance: Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype to maximize Press Turn icons. Acquire Dark Dodge (Magic Knight) and Light Dodge (Healer).
- Team Composition: While specific Archetypes are less crucial than resistance and Strike capabilities, Strength-focused Archetypes are beneficial.
- Healing: Ensure at least two party members possess party-wide healing spells.
- Tetrabreak: Carry Tetrabreak to counter enemy Tetrakarn.
During the Battle:
The fight involves some unavoidable luck, as consecutive Megidolaons are nearly insurmountable. Dark and Light Dodge significantly mitigate damage. Prioritize eliminating summoned minions swiftly to prevent their healing. Dekaja can dispel minion buffs. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals per turn.
This encounter demands careful planning and execution. By focusing on these strategies and leveraging your party's strengths, you'll significantly improve your chances of defeating the Faithwight Magileto.
