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 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 allies.

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

Strategies for Victory

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

• Archetype Selection: Prioritize Archetypes resistant to Dark, Light, and Slashing attacks. The Warlock and Thief Archetypes offer inherent resistances.
• Skill Inheritance: Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype to maximize Press Turn icons. Acquire Dark Dodge (Magic Knight) and Light Dodge (Healer).
• Spell Selection: Equip at least two party members with party-wide healing spells. Ensure everyone possesses a Strike attack.
• Tetrabreak: Carry Tetrabreak to counter enemy Tetrakarn.

Focus on maximizing Strike attacks (aim for at least six per turn) and utilizing party-wide healing to counter the Magileto's and its minions' damage output. Prioritize eliminating summoned allies before they heal the Magileto. Dekaja can dispel enemy buffs.

Remember, consecutive Megidolaons are nearly fatal. Dark and Light Dodge significantly mitigate this risk. Success hinges on a combination of strategic planning and a degree of fortunate timing.
