Even with diligent grinding for XP, these enemies often appear as red markers on your Fairy Sight, signaling a challenging Squad combat ahead.

Faithwight Magileto Weakness & Skills In Metaphor: ReFantazio
Weakness | Repel | Resists | Blocks |
---|---|---|---|
Strike | Light | Pierce | Electric |
The Faithwight Magileto is a level 50 enemy capable of summoning additional level 50 foes, making it advisable to engage them only when your party is at least level 45.
These enemies wield potent dark and light magic, capable of targeting individual characters or the entire party. Their arsenal includes Megidolaon, a devastating spell that inflicts massive damage across the board. Alongside these formidable spells, Faithwight Magiletos benefit from passive buffs that amplify the damage of their dark, light, and Megidolaon attacks. They can also employ Soul Scream to gain four Press Turn icons in a single turn and have the ability to summon additional level 50 skeletons to bolster their ranks in combat.
The summoned skeletons come equipped with powerful slashing attacks and dark magic, as well as a potent buff and one of the game's most effective healing spells, which they can use to restore the Faithwight Magileto to full health. These minions share the same weakness to Strike attacks, making it crucial to focus on exploiting this vulnerability to secure victory.
How To Beat Faithwight Magileto In Metaphor: ReFantazio
Conquering the Faithwight Magileto, even at level 50, is a Herculean task, and virtually unattainable at lower levels. Here's how you can prepare to make this battle more manageable:
- Equip your party with Dark Dodge from the Magic Knight.
- Acquire Light Dodge from the Healer Archetype.
- Inherit Strike skills from the Brawler Archetype.
- Utilize the Warlock Archetype, which resists both Dark and Light damage.
- Leverage the Thief Archetype, which resists Dark damage.
- Carry Tetrabreak to counter Tetrakarn from summoned enemies.
The choice of Archetypes is flexible as long as you cover the key points above and avoid weaknesses to Dark, Light, or Slash. If you have access to multiple Archetypes and can use Skill Inheritance, prioritize Strength-heavy Archetypes. Ensure at least two party members have party-wide healing spells, and equip everyone with Strike attacks to maximize Press Turn Icons while maintaining enough healing to offset the damage from these skills.
Success in this fight hinges on a bit of luck, especially to withstand consecutive Megidolaon attacks. Equipping most of your party with Dark and Light dodge abilities can help end the enemy's turn more quickly. If the Faithwight Magileto summons allies, prioritize eliminating them swiftly before they can use their healing magic. Bringing the Dekaja skill can dispel any buffs from summoned enemies. Your strategy should focus on executing at least six Strike attacks and two party-wide healing spells each turn.
