ReFantazio: Breaking Down the Faithwight Magileto Boss Fight

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 level 50 enemy, capable of summoning additional level 50 allies, presents a significant challenge, especially below level 45.

Faithwight Magileto: Weaknesses, Resistances, and Abilities

The Faithwight Magileto wields potent dark and light magic, employing both single-target and area-of-effect attacks like Megidolaon (a devastating party-wide spell). It also boasts passive buffs enhancing its elemental damage. Furthermore, it can use Soul Scream for multiple Press Turn icons per turn and summon additional skeletal minions.

These summoned skeletons utilize slashing attacks, dark magic, and a powerful healing spell, often restoring the Magileto to full health. Their weakness, however, lies in Strike attacks.

Strategies for Victory

Even at level 50, defeating the Faithwight Magileto requires meticulous planning and a bit of luck. 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 ideal if you have many unlocked and can utilize Skill Inheritance effectively.

• Essential Skills: Equip at least two party members with party-wide healing spells. Ensure every party member possesses a Strike attack. Tetrabreak is useful for countering Tetrakarn used by summoned enemies. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.

• Combat Tactics: The fight hinges on maximizing Press Turn icons through Strike attacks (aim for at least six per turn). Simultaneously, utilize party-wide healing to counteract the substantial damage inflicted by the Magileto and its minions. Prioritize eliminating summoned enemies quickly to prevent their healing. Dark and Light Dodge skills mitigate the risk of consecutive Megidolaons, though surviving back-to-back casts remains difficult.

This battle demands precision and a measure of fortune. By focusing on Strike attacks, utilizing defensive skills, and maintaining party health, you'll significantly improve your chances of success. Remember, swift elimination of summoned allies is crucial to prevent their potent healing abilities from prolonging the encounter.
