Conquering the Faithwight Magileto in Metaphor: ReFantazio
Metaphor: ReFantazio presents formidable foes in its dungeons, often acting as mini-bosses before the final encounter. The Faithwight Magileto in the Spire of Blind Faith is a prime example, demanding a well-crafted strategy and a touch 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), amplified by passive damage buffs. The Magileto also employs Soul Scream for multiple Press Turn icons per turn and can summon skeletal reinforcements.
These summoned skeletons wield powerful slashing attacks and dark magic, further bolstered by potent buffs and access to high-level healing spells, capable of rapidly restoring the Magileto's health. Critically, these minions share a weakness to Strike attacks.
| Weakness | Repel | Resists | Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strike | Light, Pierce, Electric |
Strategies for Victory
Even at level 50, this battle is exceptionally challenging. Preparation is key:
-
Archetype Selection & Skill Inheritance: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to Dark and Light damage (Warlock, Thief). Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype to maximize Press Turn Icons. The Magic Knight's Dark Dodge and the Healer's Light Dodge are invaluable. Strength-focused Archetypes are recommended if Skill Inheritance is available.
-
Essential Skills: Equip party-wide healing spells on at least two party members. Ensure every party member possesses a Strike attack. Tetrabreak is useful to counter Tetrakarn used by summoned enemies. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.
-
Combat Tactics: The fight involves a degree of chance; consecutive Megidolaons are often unsurvivable. Maximize Dark and Light Dodge to mitigate damage. Prioritize eliminating summoned allies before they utilize their healing magic. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals per turn.
Success hinges on a combination of strategic archetype choices, skill inheritance, and efficient turn management. Remember, focusing fire on summoned enemies is crucial to prevent constant healing and overwhelming damage output.
