Metaphor: ReFantazio - How To Beat 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 allies, making it ill-advised to engage below level 45. Its arsenal includes devastating dark and light magic targeting single characters or the entire party, including the high-damage Megidolaon. It also boasts passive buffs enhancing these elemental attacks. Furthermore, the Magileto utilizes Soul Scream for multiple Press Turn icons per turn and can summon skeletal reinforcements.

These summoned skeletons wield powerful slashing attacks and dark magic, and possess a potent healing spell capable of restoring the Magileto to full health. Fortunately, they share a weakness to Strike attacks.

Strategies for Victory

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

• Archetype Selection: Prioritize Archetypes with high Strength and resistances to Dark, Light, and Slash. The Magic Knight (Dark Dodge), Healer (Light Dodge), and Warlock/Thief (Dark/Light resistance) are valuable choices. Skill Inheritance of Strike skills from the Brawler is crucial.
• Skill Preparation: Equip Dark and Light Dodge skills on most party members to mitigate incoming elemental damage. Ensure every party member possesses a Strike attack to maximize Press Turn icons. At least two party members should have access to party-wide healing spells. Tetrabreak is recommended to counter Tetrakarn if used by summoned enemies. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.
• Combat Tactics: Focus on eliminating summoned allies immediately to prevent their healing. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals each turn. The fight relies on minimizing damage from Megidolaon and utilizing Press Turn efficiently.

This encounter demands a combination of strategic planning, skillful execution, and a degree of luck to survive back-to-back Megidolaons. Remember, consistent Strike attacks, efficient healing, and swift elimination of summoned allies are the keys to victory.
