Euchronia’s labyrinths—from the poison-choked Martira Catacombs to the lightning-wracked Sky Citadel—demand more than brute force. Success hinges on mastering Metaphor: ReFantazio’s Archetype system, a deep class framework that lets you mix skills, stats, and roles to create parties capable of surviving even the deadliest encounters. Whether facing the self-replicating Spektos or the cursed Homo Jaluzo, the right Archetype builds turn chaos into control. For official lore and Archetype unlock conditions, always reference the game’s official website: https://www.metaphor-refantazio.com.
At its core, the system boasts 46 unique Archetypes , each with distinct stat bonuses, active skills, and passive perks. Unlike rigid class systems, Metaphor: ReFantazio lets you “inherit” skills from maxed-out Archetypes, turning a Warrior into a spell-wielding tank or a Mage into a crit-focused glass cannon. To unlock advanced Archetypes (like the Samurai or Elemental Master), you’ll need three things: maxing base classes (usually to Level 20), raising companion bonds (e.g., Gallica Rank 8 for Elemental Master), and stockpiling Mag—with high-tier unlocks costing up to 18,750 Mag . This grind pays dividends in endgame dungeons, where generic builds crumble.
The Foundation: Core Stats and Party Composition Rules
Before diving into builds, nail the stat fundamentals. Every character has five core attributes, and their distribution varies by role. Here’s the breakdown for Euchronia’s hardest content:
Party composition follows a golden rule: 1 Tank + 1 Healer + 2 Damage Dealers (DDs). Tanks absorb aggro (via Knight’s “Taunt” or Paladin’s “Divine Shield”), Healers sustain HP/MP, and DDs exploit weaknesses. Swap roles based on dungeon mechanics—for example, the Sky Citadel’s lightning traps demand higher Endurance, while the Martira Catacombs prioritize Poison resistance. Never skip this balance: even the strongest DDs die in 2 hits from a Level 40 Stone Golem if unprotected.
Build 1: The Unbreakable Bulwark (Tank) – Paladin + Magic Knight Hybrid
For tackling dungeons with AoE-heavy bosses (like the Spektos’ “Last Resort” attack ), this build turns your tank into an unkillable anchor. Start with the Knight (default for Hulkenberg), max it to Level 20 for +2 Endurance , then unlock Magic Knight by pairing Knight Lv.20 with Mage Lv.10 and 6,750 Mag . Finally, grind Magic Knight to Lv.20 and spend 18,750 Mag to unlock Paladin—the pinnacle of defensive support.
Stat Distribution (Level 50):
- Strength: 15 (enough for weapon requirements)
- Magic: 10 (for Paladin’s healing spells)
- Agility: 12 (to Taunt before enemies attack)
- Endurance: 35 (core priority—boosts HP to 1,200+)
- Luck: 8 (minimal, but prevents critical hits)
Inherited Skills:
- Knight: “Iron Wall” (reduces damage by 40% for 2 turns)
- Magic Knight: “Mana Shield” (absorbs 50 damage with MP)
- Paladin: “Divine Heal” (restores 300 HP to all allies)
Gear Priority:
- Armor: Holy Plate (EN +15, Lightning Resistance +30%)
- Accessory: Guardian’s Amulet (prevents Stun/Daze)
- Weapon: Blessed Spear (adds 10% Holy damage, useful vs. undead)
This build shines in the Grand Tran Cathedral dungeon . When Spektos casts “Curse Song,” the Paladin’s “Purge” skill clears debuffs, while “Mana Shield” soaks up reflected physical damage. With 35 Endurance, “Last Resort” hits for only 40-50 HP instead of 100+, letting your Healer focus on DDs.
Build 2: The Arcane Annihilator (Magic DD) – Elemental Master + Warlock Hybrid
Magic dominates Euchronia’s late game, and this build melts bosses weak to elements (80% of endgame foes). Start with Mage (default for Gallica) to unlock Wizard at Lv.20 (6,000 Mag ), then push Gallica’s bond to Rank 8 and Wizard to Lv.20 to get Elemental Master—granting +30 Max MP . For raw destruction, add Warlock (unlock via Wizard Lv.20 + Assassin Lv.10 + 16,500 Mag ), which boosts dark magic damage by 25%.
Stat Distribution (Level 50):
- Strength: 5 (irrelevant)
- Magic: 40 (core—spells hit for 800+ damage)
- Agility: 18 (ensures you cast before bosses)
- Endurance: 7 (accept fragility for power)
- Luck: 10 (boosts crit chance for spell crits)
Inherited Skills:
- Mage: “Fireball” (base AoE fire damage)
- Elemental Master: “Elemental Surge” (2x damage to weakness)
- Warlock: “Dark Vortex” (single-target dark damage + Curse)
Gear Priority:
- Armor: Sorcerer’s Robe (MA +20, MP Regen +5/turn)
- Accessory: Elemental Talisman (resists all elements by 15%)
- Weapon: Star Staff (MA +18, 10% chance to cast “Meteor”)
Against the Homo Jaluzo boss , this build excels. While the boss has no weaknesses, “Elemental Surge” paired with “Dark Vortex” deals consistent 650-700 damage per cast. With 18 Agility, you’ll cast twice before Homo Jaluzo uses “Jumping Playtime,” letting you whittle its HP down while your Tank guards.

Build 3: The Precision Striker (Physical DD) – Samurai + Gunner Hybrid
For players who prefer melee precision over magic, this build exploits piercing damage and critical hits—perfect for foes with high defense (like the Steel Golems of Euchronia’s Mines). Unlock Samurai by maxing Swordmaster (Warrior Lv.20 + 6,000 Mag ) and General Lv.10, then add Gunner (unlocked via Thief Lv.15 + 8,000 Mag) for piercing attacks.
Stat Distribution (Level 50):
- Strength: 38 (maximizes physical damage)
- Magic: 5 (irrelevant)
- Agility: 22 (ensures you land hits before enemies)
- Endurance: 10 (avoids one-shot kills)
- Luck: 15 (boosts crit chance to 25%)
Inherited Skills:
- Samurai: “Iai Strike” (high-damage single target, 15% crit)
- Gunner: “Piercing Shot” (ignores 30% enemy defense)
- Swordmaster: “Blade Dance” (3-hit combo, each hit 70% damage)
Gear Priority:
- Armor: Bushido Armor (ST +12, AG +5)
- Accessory: Crit Ring (crit chance +10%, crit damage +20%)
- Weapon: Dragon Katana (ST +20, 5% chance to “Sever” limbs)
This build dominates the Sky Citadel’s final floor, where enemies like the Storm Sentinel have 500+ defense. “Piercing Shot” cuts through their armor, while “Iai Strike” crits for 1,200+ damage. With 22 Agility, you’ll dodge 30% of attacks, reducing strain on your Healer.
Build 4: The Lifesaving Sentinel (Healer) – Saviour + Cleric Hybrid
A bad Healer dooms parties; a great one turns wipes into wins. This build balances group healing, MP sustain, and emergency resurrections. Start with Healer (default for Maria), max it to Lv.20 for +2 Magic , then unlock Cleric (7,500 Mag ). Finally, grind Cleric to Lv.20 and spend 18,750 Mag for Saviour—the ultimate support Archetype.
Stat Distribution (Level 50):
- Strength: 8 (for basic weapon attacks)
- Magic: 32 (boosts heal amount to 400+ per cast)
- Agility: 20 (heal before enemies attack)
- Endurance: 15 (survive stray AoE hits)
- Luck: 15 (reduces chance of heal misses)
Inherited Skills:
- Healer: “Medi” (group heal, restores 200 HP)
- Cleric: “Refresh” (MP regen +10/turn for 3 turns)
- Saviour: “Ressurect” (brings ally back with 50% HP/MP)
Gear Priority:
- Armor: Priest’s Robe (MA +18, HP +150)
- Accessory: Healer’s Tear (heals 10% HP when damaged)
- Weapon: Holy Staff (MA +12, “Medi” range +1)
Against Homo Jaluzo , this build is non-negotiable. The boss’s “Jumping Playtime” hits for 150+ HP, but “Medi” restores the party to full. “Refresh” solves MP droughts (critical when casting heals every turn), and “Ressurect” fixes mistakes if a DD gets one-shot.

Final Party Synergy: The Unstoppable Team for Endgame Dungeons
Combine the four builds above, and you get a party that crushes Euchronia’s hardest content. Here’s the full setup and turn order strategy:
- Paladin (Tank): Turn 1 – “Taunt” (aggro all enemies); Turn 2 – “Iron Wall”; Turn 3 – “Divine Heal” (if Healer is low on MP).
- Saviour (Healer): Turn 1 – “Refresh” (buff self/DDs); Turn 2 – “Medi”; Turn 3 – “Medi” (or “Ressurect” if needed).
- Elemental Master (Magic DD): Turn 1 – “Elemental Surge” (hit weakness); Turn 2 – “Dark Vortex”; Turn 3 – Repeat.
- Samurai (Physical DD): Turn 1 – “Piercing Shot” (break armor); Turn 2 – “Iai Strike”; Turn 3 – “Blade Dance”.
Key Synergy Tip: Use the “Synthesis” mechanic (team combo) when 3+ skills are charged. The Paladin’s “Iron Wall” + Saviour’s “Refresh” + Elemental Master’s “Elemental Surge” creates a “Divine Barrage” that deals 2,000+ damage and heals the party—perfect for boss phases.
Grinding Tips: Maxing Archetypes Fast for Endgame
Unlocking and maxing Archetypes takes time, but these tricks cut the grind by 40%:
- Mag Farming: The Golden Mine (Lv.35+) drops 1,200-1,500 Mag per run. Equip Merchant Archetypes (LK +3 ) to boost drops.
- Bond Leveling: Focus on 1 companion per play session. Gallica (Mage line) and Hulkenberg (Knight line) are highest priority.
- XP Boost: Use “Hero’s Elixir” (unlocked via Merchant Lv.15) for 2x XP for 30 minutes. Pair with the “Scholar” passive (Thief Lv.20) for an extra 15%.
By following these builds, you’ll turn Euchronia’s deadliest dungeons into loot piñatas. Remember: Archetype flexibility is your greatest weapon—don’t be afraid to swap inherited skills based on foes.
