Conquering the Faithwight Magileto in Metaphor: ReFantazio

Metaphor: ReFantazio presents formidable foes in each dungeon, often acting as mini-bosses before the final encounter. The Faithwight Magileto, residing in the Spire of Blind Faith, is a prime example. This challenging enemy demands strategic planning 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, affecting either single targets or the entire party. The devastating Megidolaon, a high-damage area-of-effect spell, adds to its threat. Passive buffs further amplify its dark, light, and electric damage. The Faithwight Magileto also employs Soul Scream, granting itself four Press Turn icons per turn, and summons additional skeletal allies.

These summoned skeletons wield powerful slashing attacks and dark magic, boasting a powerful buff and access to potent healing spells, often restoring the Magileto to full health. Their weakness lies in Strike attacks.

Strategies for Victory

Even at level 50, this battle is incredibly challenging. Below that level, victory is highly improbable. Preparation is key:

• Acquire Dark Dodge (Magic Knight) and Light Dodge (Healer).
• Skill Inherit Strike skills (Brawler).
• Utilize Archetypes resistant to Dark and Light damage (Warlock, Thief).
• Prepare Tetrabreak to counter Tetrakarn (summoned enemy ability).

Archetype selection is flexible, prioritizing resistance to Dark, Light, and Slashing attacks. Strength-focused Archetypes, leveraging Skill Inheritance, are advantageous. Ensure at least two party members possess party-wide healing spells, and equip every character with a Strike attack to maximize Press Turn Icons.

Luck plays a role, as consecutive Megidolaons are nearly unsurvivable. Equipping Dark and Light Dodge on most party members mitigates this risk. Prioritize eliminating summoned allies before their healing abilities come into play. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs. The core strategy involves at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide healing spells per turn.
