Metaphor ReFantazio Guide: The BEST Archetype

[@TagTheLegend]

What Archetype are you planning to run during your playthrough of Metaphor ReFantazio?

[@TheNawaf258]

Mmm warrior archetype

[@Gwilherm]

I want to try the thief one

[@Samurai_32]

I'm playing with a little twist, no same archetype on 2 characters. Im weird like that 😂 i love a challenge

[@ursusgameing5433]

Mage for mc I really wanna see what are advanced classes of mage

[@NightKolm]

there are so many archetypes i dont know which ones would be best to work well together. i had to get off hard cause i was struggling so much.

[@FieryFlamingFajitas]

just be aware though, there are enemies that are immune to physical damage and some of them will reflect it back at you, so a balanced party is always best tbh

[@ForgottenShinobi11]

Best build by far is runing 4 Merchant archetypes and i asume it becomes even more stupidly broken once you unlock it's evolution.

[@Mystra]

Top 3 archetypes so far Merchant, Faker, Mage

[@TheFreestylebeast]

How is faker any good

[@Odin2077]

​@@TheFreestylebeasthe have access to all debuffs

[@thebukojoeplays]

When you play in the long-run, almost everyone gets debuff paired with damage. Faker's only good thing is likely Debilitate, like all other SMT games.

[@Mystra]

@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 Likely? So you haven't even played Faker 😂 Faker gets every debuff and can give you extra turns. Yes other Archetypes can give you some debuffs later on but that's limited, not all of them. Bye, maybe play the damn thing before you talk about it.

[@williewilliamsohp]

​@Mystra yes faker is my favorite class so far

[@jakerobert5374]

Merchant + Dilligent Disciple = crit machine

[@mismismism]

This is what I did since I went luck focused. Merchant is the one.

[@quocthinhluu4098]

But how do you got the abundant cash to keep spamming throwing?

[@mismismism]

@@quocthinhluu4098 Merchant makes enemies drop a bunch of extra money when you kill them just like how Mage recovers MP, if you just go into a save room or akademia to respawn some low level mobs, you can get thousands in a few seconds killing them in the over world. And much, much faster than trying to recover MP with mage, and they make enemies drop extra items and they buff the effectiveness of those items so you can heal without needing MP too. For example, the desert area at the start, the basic wolves and worms were dropping between 400-600 a piece just running around smacking them once, you can very quickly get more money than you will ever need for a fight.

[@aroach1630]

how do you get this and merchant

[@mismismism]

@@aroach1630 Merchant you get doing the quest for Brigitta, the woman at the igniter shop at the beginning of the game that shows you the staff, but you need to level wisdom to accept the quest, then you just complete the dungeon and come back to her. And Diligent Discipline is one of the first skills from Brawler.

[@Gawxy_03]

I can't wait to play this game, great video 👍

[@yayuu7184]

You don't need two warriors to do the bamboo split warrior and brawler can do that, also the build depends on the difficulty he is playing on his you can't go into every fight with the same team build there are enemies that block slash damage

[@Insanemonk11]

I can't hear you over all the easy money Merchant makes me from running in circles lol, but right now, I'm still early, and don't have all of them, but having Wizard, Faker, Thief and Magic Knight is a nice party so far

[@Jekunda]

Might give that a try in my mage playthrough. What inheritance skills did you use if you don't mind me asking?

[@mismismism]

I went luck focused with Merchant and the Brawler passive, you crit so often and it's almighty damage so it's been nice so far. Especially using money instead of MP with how easy it is to farm money with Merchant. But yeah, I feel like strength and/or crit is the way to go, magic feels like it's falling off, lots of bosses with no elemental weaknesses that I just brute forced with crits and combos with synthesis that implant weapon damage weaknesses for a turn and it's going smoothly.

[@aroach1630]

whats your stat spread look like?

[@mismismism]

@@aroach1630 I went all in luck and agility, like 2 to 1 but strength seems good too since Strohl hits hard with gold attack too but on a crit, luck has been doing well for me.

[@aroach1630]

@@mismismism o cool, i was thinking picking luck and investing in strength and luck. does merchant work with strength?

[@mismismism]

@@aroach1630 I think so, gold attack is physical almighty, but honestly, I don't see a huge difference in damage between my MC and Strohl even with no strength investment. I think the game maybe prioritizes your weapon stats more than your actual stats, not 100% sure.

[@MintTastic]

@@mismismismI’m going magic and I’m hitting harder than these vids showcasing there physical crit my mc is a glass cannon mage and there’s magic skills that for example if you use it’ll do heavy ice damage and make the enemy weak to ice quad stack/trio stack wizard goes crazy honestly quad stack anything of same archetype and just slot in the increased damage with matching archetypes and anything will hit like a truck

[@MULTIPLANGOD]

Heismay should be gunner by default he’s so good with it slap some luck charm on him and your set

[@SenjuinJapan]

This video makes me want to buy the game ngl

[@Shandoftb]

It’s game of the year in my opinion so I’d definitely recommend

[@johnnyappleseed4279]

Should definitely look into it. The demo had me sold, been playing for hours since release

[@afromarco005]

Buy it its great

[@kururuhedi8116]

Mod where :v

[@ssjdennis6058]

100 likes? You made that with ease :)

[@ynteismymaster]

How do you manage your mana if you're not playing Mage early game? This is my main problem. i really want to take the phys path but the mage passive is preventing me. It's just too good to pass up

[@ceasec]

Great content!

[@gerrygunawan1304]

Just do 4 Merchant Class... with Heat Up, Increase HIT , or Increase Crit (Inherited Passive) u will kill everything with Money. And Magicula Flower is Time for money grubbin... These 4 mono squad almost kill everything with Money ... "F2P" Build

[@MentalJanitor]

World view , gunner,but boss battle mage. Everyone else that can't cast ice spells unless, add them to your inheritance and mass heals.

[@CrazyCaboose009]

I'm playing on hard mode and there r many enemies ive run into that block or r heavily resistant to physical. Im already low money as is, i don't have the money to waste on element items. Im still fairly early, b4 Heismay joins the team. And switching between mage, seeker, and healer based on enemy weakness/my weakness matching their attacks has been working well. just pass turn around to me for weakness hits makes the game easy enough. Most of these boss encounters r just a matter of slotting in a weakness hitting inherit skill on 1 or 2 teammates. I have only invested into Endurance so far and im still taking stupid dmg at times. makes me question how much dmg i would b taking if i wasnt pumping endurance...

[@rakaharits]

me personally just throw seeker, brawler, knight out of the window except in certain niche scenarios like the minatour boss

[@Freakymonkey78]

Running warrior, brawler on companions and myself running healer in back row. I leveled mages for all three so each character can borrow one of those three elements and have accessories granting the rest. Swap to mage to farm back missing mp and farmed with merchant for money

[@Freakymonkey78]

Seeker practially worthless once you have healer, knight is a funny build gimmick, if you know the enemy attacks prior, you can put the dual action item on your knight user, give themselves the auto reflect block and taunt to skip enemy turns lol

[@CrazyCaboose009]

@@Freakymonkey78 reflect block? haven't seen anything for that yet. waiting around 2nd city for blockage to clear now. I made a save and pushed seeker to lvl20 and unlocked the next tier so i could look at the last tier of seeker and it looks OP. Team wide crit up, fire and wind aoe spells that give u MP back based on how many enemies u hit. and i think there was 1 more good thing im forgetting. worth checking out atleast, so make a save so u can load it back after looking at it.

[@JohnRambo1947-July-6th]

So buffs stack? What is the limit?

[@TagTheLegend]

3 times

[@cal5365]

and then a phys repel/absorb enemy appears lmao

[@omegaxtrigun]

I don’t think this is a very good idea. If you know you’re going to face enemies that are weak to it, sure. But for general use? Enemies that block or repel will hurt a lot. And ya there’s elemental damage items but relying on them is going to eat extra money and their effectiveness is going to fall off. I’m like 20+ hours in and party is like level 22, and my magic mc can hit weaknesses for like 400+ damage compared to the 100 damage consumables. This combined with the fact that your other party members are str, endurance, and agi focused, and the fact that you have no control over their stats outside of items unlike the mc that you get to choose where half his points go, it makes the most sense to build him for magic.

[@jomar79]

Can like maybe make a tier list of the who of the followers to level up 1st

[@yayuu7184]

Bro your maxed out how is this helping players from the start of the game and you got to let them know what game difficulty your on

[@cliftonsargent1572]

I’m not sure I get it. Do I pick the seeker archetype or the bright eyed student? I don’t know what this means

[@TagTheLegend]

You use the warrior archetype on multiple characters. You invest in the seeker archetype until rank 4 on all characters to get tarakuja for the attack buff and then inherit it on the warrior archetype

[@cliftonsargent1572]

@@TagTheLegend oh wow ok I would of never realized this. The buff you learn are you only allowed to taser 1 move? Or do you get to transfer more in the game?

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

I mean any of them can be turned into absolute monster killers

[@sentientantenna6823]

If anyone finds something for Faker without inherited skills, let me know. Cause I’m only willing to hero’s fruit it until late mid-game.

[@interlinkedMedia]

4X Merchants hands down.

[@cl_Sm00th23]

For the first of half of the game, how long did your man character stay a Mage, before you switched him to a warrior? I'm about to start playing and want to know how long to stay mage before switching to warrior, for the three warrior setup you have in the video.. Tag, your Videos are amazing !!

[@TagTheLegend]

Thank you! I played warrior from the start the second time because I had to replay the demo when I got my review copy on a different console than I played the demo. You’ll still want to unlock Mage though to use it for the mana recovery every now and then.

[@MFkhuon]

what's the verdict on selling items? Should I be saving them for later on?

[@zombiifiedbear1081]

Honestly bro save em stack up mag and go to convert it I have like 800,000$ off like 100k mag

You doooont kill the dragon it just flies off 😂

Some enemies reflect or block phys dmg. Annoying af.

Ill try, say less

It'll be hard for persona player, but it could be not that hard for shin megami tensei player,refantazio literally soulslike rpg😂

[@VengeanceFalls]

Nice but two warriors sounds boring though.

wow just wow u mean u play a warrior which based on strength in all rpg's u get stgrong , wolwsers lmao

damnnnn. my wallet will be empty this october 😂

I feel your pain too😢

Not relevant for hard.

[@brainexprogaming]

I been on hard since the beginning and sometimes enemies are brutals if you dont have the roght strategy

[@sen7in3lsecurity57]

Locked into mage??? I’m confused. You can freely swap archetypes for all party members.

[@godlike69r]

i went full magic is it too late? like lvl 22

[@zackeryh250]

Game just came out. Don’t listen to these chuds saying there is only one way to play the game. Most skills and attack scale off of equipment so don’t stress stats too much.

[@afromarco005]

Never too late

[@fartlordsmellytoe3690]

its too late bro time to start over little brother

[@buggy3262]

You can choose any difficulty.. so this video is almost useless. If you can’t beat a boss, go on normal.

[@TeaTimeStop]

or you can go like me on Storetaller and it so easy...well but even on this the Chicken boos in mine with one attack killed one my character ^^ so even on this you can get suprised

[@shotojae6007]

Will be honest I will throw the difficulty on easy when I have to do some mindless farming. Lmao making my life harder.

🤓 Actually no you can't because to unlock regicide difficulty you have to beat the game at least once
