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 foes, 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 multiple Press Turn icons per turn and can summon skeletal allies.

These summoned skeletons possess strong slashing attacks, dark magic, powerful buffs, and access to high-level healing spells, quickly restoring the Magileto's health. Their weakness, however, lies in Strike attacks.

Strategies for Victory

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

• Archetype Selection: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to dark, light, and slash damage. The Warlock and Thief Archetypes are particularly beneficial.
• Skill Inheritance: Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype to maximize Press Turn icons. Acquire Dark Dodge (Magic Knight) and Light Dodge (Healer) to mitigate incoming magical damage.
• Spell Selection: Equip at least two party members with party-wide healing spells. Ensure all party members possess a Strike attack.
• Tetrabreak: Bring Tetrabreak to counter enemy Tetrakarn.

During the Battle:

The fight involves a degree of luck, as consecutive Megidolaons are nearly insurmountable. Prioritize eliminating summoned allies swiftly to prevent their healing. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs. Aim for at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide heals per turn. Dark and Light Dodge significantly improve survivability against the Magileto's attacks.

By meticulously planning your party composition, skills, and battle strategy, you can significantly improve your chances of defeating this formidable foe. Remember, even with perfect execution, some luck is still necessary to overcome the Faithwight Magileto's devastating attacks.
