Summary
Metaphor: ReFantaziolets you assign various Archetypes to your party members. You have full control over the actions of your party members in combat so choosing the right ones for them becomes crucial. It’s important to consider the base stats of various characters to give them an Archetype that will build up on existing strengths.
During the early game, MP is much harder to manage, so assigning some physical Archetypes that use health instead will be much more helpful. However, the combat in the middle and late game is much more challenging and by now you may have learned enough moves to realize your magical characters well.
Late-game
Royal Warrior
Strohl is the first party member to join you in the game, and he possesses great strength stats. However, you should change his Archetype to Brawler during the early game when you make a bond with Catherina. The Brawler Archetype has many moves that cost HPinstead of MP. Managing health is easier, and the Archetype is powerful enough to use in boss battles.
Pugilist is the evolved form of the Brawler Archetype who can deal Power Thrust, which lowers an opponent’s defense while also dealing great damage. The Royal Warrior will be Strohl’s best Archetype in the late-game. It can deal physical damage to multiple opponents and also possesses strong buffing moves making itself extremely powerful.
Royal Knight
Hulkenberg possesses the Knight Archetype by default, and it’s great for tanking damage. However, during the early-game, having a healer with strong Endurance stats might be more helpful. The enemies will have a tough time harming her, and you will have a consistent source of healing for your main damage dealers.
Magic Knight is much more helpful Archetype in the middle-game due to its healing and support abilities. You will also need much more tanking halfway through the game as you face many tough opponents. Royal Knight has high defense, and will be helpful in preserving health in last dungeons when you remain to preserve resources.
Royal Thief
Heismay is highly agile so the most suitable class for him is his default Thief Archetype. It helps you snag some valuables from opponents saving you a lot of money in the process. Being agile, he will also evade a lot of attacks, causing an opponent to lose turns. Heismay can also deal powerful dark magic and can drain an opponent’s health and MP.
Since Heismay has low endurance, an Archetype that works well in the back such as the Sniper is useful. Sniper can hit multiple opponents and its passive increases evasiveness. Royal Thief Archetype is a better version of the Thief Archetype who can use even stronger dark attacks and increase Heismay’s evasion.
Royal Masked Dancer
Junah has a unique Archetype who can gain skills of any other Archetype by using various masks. During the early-game, it’s also helpful as you can make enemies weak to certain elements, which you can exploit to deal strong damage with the magic skills of your Archetypes.
Junah also has very high Magic stats, so assigning the Wizard Archetype is particularly helpful during the middle-game. During the final dungeons, you will have unlocked the Royal Masked Dancer for Junah, and you should assign herMagic masks. Junah can also use Ruin’s Flamethrower which is a powerful fire attack that can damage multiple enemies.
Royal Summoner
Eupha is the user of the Summoner Archetype and she can call out various magical beasts to damage enemies and perform support roles during combat. It has some of the most powerful Synthesis skills which are capable of defeating multiple enemies. She can also heal your characters and removes buffs applied to them.
The Royal Summoner is the ultimate form of the Summoner Archetype and by leveling it up, you will have several elemental moves to use at your disposal. She can also revive your fallen allies with the Harvest God move. She can also inflict debuffs and ailments to enemies, which can be crucial for your victory in the late-game.
Royal Berserker
Basilio is thelast party memberto join you in the game. By default, he will have the Berserker Archetype equipped. Berserker requires both high strength and endurance from its user, so it works with Basilio well. You can charge your attacks to maximize your damage for the next turn.
Since Basilio has good Endurance, even if he gets hit by an attack it won’t effect him much. Berserker is adept at both single target and multiple target attacks, so you should utilize it depending on the battle conditions. The Royal Berserker is an even stronger version of the Archetype that builds up on the existing strengths.
