In the world of Metaphor: ReFantazio, each dungeon presents a formidable challenge in the form of powerful enemies that act as mini-bosses before the final showdown. These adversaries often appear as red markers on the overworld Fairy Sight, signaling a tough Squad combat encounter ahead. Among these challenging foes, the Faithwight Magileto, found in the Spire Of Blind Faith, stands out as particularly daunting, necessitating a well-crafted strategy and a bit of luck to overcome.

Faithwight Magileto Weakness & Skills In Metaphor: ReFantazio

At level 50, the Faithwight Magileto not only poses a direct threat but can also summon additional level 50 enemies, making it advisable to engage only if your party is at least level 45. This enemy wields powerful dark and light magic, capable of targeting individuals or the entire party. Among its arsenal is Megidolaon, a devastating spell that inflicts massive damage across the board. Additionally, it benefits from passive buffs that amplify the potency of its dark, light, and other elemental attacks. The Faithwight Magileto can also utilize Soul Scream to gain four Press Turn icons in a single turn, further complicating the battle. Its ability to summon level 50 skeletons adds another layer of difficulty, as these minions bring powerful slashing attacks and dark magic to the fray, along with significant healing capabilities that can fully restore the Faithwight Magileto's health. These summoned enemies share the same weakness to Strike attacks, making it critical to exploit this vulnerability.

How To Beat Faithwight Magileto In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Conquering the Faithwight Magileto is a daunting task, even at level 50, and nearly insurmountable below that threshold. Preparation is key, and here are some steps you can take to tilt the odds in your favor:

• Equip your party with Dark Dodge from the Magic Knight to mitigate dark magic damage.
• Acquire Light Dodge from the Healer Archetype to reduce light magic damage.
• Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype to capitalize on the enemy's weakness.
• Consider using the Warlock Archetype, which naturally resists both Dark and Light damage.
• The Thief Archetype can also be beneficial as it resists Dark damage.
• Carry Tetrabreak to counter any summoned enemy using Tetrakarn.

While the specific Archetypes you select aren't crucial, ensure your team meets as many of the above criteria as possible and avoids vulnerabilities to Dark, Light, or Slash damage. If you have access to multiple Archetypes and can utilize Skill Inheritance, prioritize those with high Strength stats. It's vital to have at least two party members capable of casting party-wide healing spells and equip each member with a Strike attack to maximize Press Turn Icons and maintain sufficient healing to counteract the damage from these skills.

Success in this battle hinges partly on luck, especially to avoid consecutive Megidolaon casts, which can be nearly fatal. Outfitting most of your party with Dark and Light dodge capabilities can help end the enemy's turn sooner, reducing the frequency of their attacks. If the Faithwight Magileto summons allies, prioritize eliminating them swiftly to prevent them from using their potent healing magic. Consider bringing the Dekaja skill to dispel buffs from summoned enemies. Your strategy should focus on executing at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide healing spells each turn to maintain control and ultimately triumph.
