Metaphor: ReFantazio

Metaphor: ReFantazio Warlock Archetype

By
Echo Apsey

The "Warlock" iconWarlock is one of the Elite Archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio. It is focused on using its Dark magic Skills and Synthesis Skills to great effect, increasing magic uses and allowing it to excel in longer battles. The Warlock is strong to both Dark and Light damage, but noticeably weak to Piercing damage.

The Warlock is a part of the "Mage" iconMage Lineage and its final form overall. The Warlock Archetype is one of the more specialized classes with its focus on Dark magic, but incredibly powerful.

How to unlock the Warlock Archetype

The Warlock Archetype is unlocked once reaching Rank 8 with "Gallica" iconGallica’s bond. This occurs in the main story on 09/24. Additionally, you will also need to have reached Rank 20 with the "Wizard" iconWizard and Rank 10 with the "Assassin" iconAssassin class.

With these you can then purchase it for 19,800 MAG.

Warlock Skills

The Warlock has six Skills:

  • Magic Recovery - [Hero Passive] In overworld combat, recovers MP each time an enemy is stunned or defeated.
  • "Mudodyne" iconMudodyne - Deals heavy magic Dark damage to one enemy (18 MP)
  • "Makarabreak" iconMakarabreak - Negates one enemy’s Repel Magic skill (18 MP)
  • "Hyper" iconHyper - Greatly increases caster’s magic attack damage once per battle (15 MP)
  • "Magic Reversion" iconMagic Reversion - [Passive] Recovers MP after defeating an enemy.
  • "Magic Vessel" iconMagic Vessel - [Passive] Raises max MP by 30%.

The mix between these passive, active buffs and nerfs, and the Dark damage attack with Mudodyne, gives the Warlock a great base to improve from.

Warlock Synthesis Skills

The Warlock has access to four highly-powerful damage-dealing Synthesis Skills:

  • "Mamudodyne" iconMamudodyne - Required Skill: Mudodyne. Deals heavy magic Dark damage to all enemies (14 MP) [Allies needed: "Seeker" iconSeeker, Mage, or "Healer" iconHealer Lineages]
  • "Netherworld Tree" iconNetherworld Tree - Deals extreme magic Dark damage to all enemies (18 MP) [Allies needed: Mage, Msked Dancer, or "Summoner" iconSummoner Lineages]
  • "Lost Wall" iconLost Wall - Inflicts one enemy with a one-time weakness to Fire/Ice/Electric/Wind/Light/Dark. Ignores resistances. (26 MP) [Allies needed: "Gunner" iconGunner, "Masked Dancer" iconMasked Dancer, or "Berserker" iconBerserker Lineages]
  • "Child of Death" iconChild of Death - Deals extreme magic Dark damage to one enemy (14 MP) [Allies needed: "Warrior" iconWarrior, "Thief" iconThief, or Masked Dancer Lineages]

The Dark damage with the Warlock really comes from here and pairing that with Lost Wall, can mean the Warlock and your other party members are able to do an insane amount of damage with one or two attacks. These skills and the regular Skills are what makes the Warlock one of the most formidable Archetypes in the game.
