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 demands 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, both single-target and AoE (Megidolaon). These attacks are amplified by passive buffs. Furthermore, it employs Soul Scream for multiple Press Turn icons per turn and can summon skeletal minions.
These minions possess strong slashing attacks, dark magic, and access to potent 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 incredibly tough. Preparation is key:
- Archetype Selection: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to Dark and Light damage (Warlock, Thief). Skill inheritance of Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype is crucial. Magic Knight's Dark Dodge and the Healer's Light Dodge are highly recommended.
- Skill Focus: Maximize Strength-based Archetypes and equip party-wide healing spells on at least two members. Prioritize Strike attacks to generate Press Turn icons.
- Managing Minions: Swiftly eliminate summoned minions before they utilize their healing magic. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.
- Turn Strategy: Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals per turn.
- Mitigation: Dark and Light Dodge significantly increase survivability against the Magileto's frequent attacks. Tetrabreak counters Tetrakarn if used by a minion.
Success hinges on minimizing damage from Megidolaon (near impossible to survive consecutively) and efficiently eliminating summoned allies. Remember, consistent Strike attacks and healing are paramount.
