Best Weapons in Metaphor: ReFantazio

Metaphor: ReFantazio is an amazing RPG where players embody god-like characters in vigorous gameplay. The game boasts a large collection of weapons that will help you carry out your mission successfully. You gain the weapons from More, who gives them to you after you’ve reached a certain level of archetype mastery on each character. Some weapons can be enhanced and transformed into stronger versions. But generally, the game carries lots of archetypes, each with different types of armaments. Here are the best weapons Metaphor: ReFantazio has to offer. 

10. Bone Pulverisers

Bone Pulverisers is a powerful weapon that belongs to the Brawler archetype lineage, which is classified under knuckles in this game. The Brawler archetype is unlocked when you first help out Catherina at the beginning of the cathedral dungeon. The Bone Pulverisers is a great weapon to invest in because its abilities drain HP instead of MP so it's important to conserve this resource early in the game. You will get an additional +5 to your strength stat, along with dealing extra damage to the giant class of enemies.

9. Annihilator King’s Axe

Players must battle human bosses in Metaphor: ReFantazio to get this weapon located in Tyrant’s Star. Human bosses are enhanced versions of the repeat bosses from earlier in the game, like Homo Avades. The Annihilator King’s Axe's main advantage is the ability to cut through resistances, which can open your enemies to Slash attacks. It has an attack of 420 and a hit of 99. It's a fantastic final weapon for a character that is not often used by players because they are a late addition.

8. War King’s Claymore

War King’s Claymore is a heavy sword that an old character named Strohl wields in the game. He is of the Warrior set of Archetypes whose main gameplay is to create basic physical attacks. The warriors do not have a lot of magic spells to use so the sword is an excellent tool for them. Players can acquire the sword by defeating a specific boss in the title. With this incredible final weapon, you will land more critical hits, dealing devastating damage to your enemies.

7. Nasu’s Longbow

The weapon is exclusive to the Gunner Archetype Lineage classified under Bow. Players can find it inside a chest on the 6th floor of the game. It helps maximize your damage output, which is great for conserving the MP spent on extra shots. Sniper and Dragoon in particular use this weapon and employ multiple skills and syntheses that can hit enemies multiple times. Any multi-hit skill used when this weapon is equipped will always hit the maximum number of times possible. However, predicting the maximum number of hits each time is a bit difficult. 

6. Sleepy Eyed Katana

Characters with the Thief Archetype or its descendants wield the Sleepy Eyed Katana. This is one of the weapons in Metaphor ReFantazio that amplifies the Thief’s unique characters, making normal attacks with the weapon create a sleep effect. The thief is a complicated archetype to control but its unique skill set makes it a great choice for gamers. Sleepy Eyed Katana has a high-speed stat and also features a magnificent set of attack skills in the game. However, its attack skills work best when properly equipped with specific weapons. 

5. Thief King’s Katana

The Thief Archetype user, Heismay, is responsible for wielding this Tyrant’s Star weapon. He’s a beloved character in the game due to his ability to steal in the beginning. Players can evolve this archetype, which enables them to have advanced slash moves that can deal critical damage. The weapon raises Heismay’s agility to +5, and as an already fast character, the stat boost gives him a better advantage in the turn order. Additionally, it amplifies his slash attack power. Thief King’s Katana boasts a 420 attack and a 99 hit.

4. Hero King’s Fan

Junah, the masked dancer, wields this powerful final weapon that is found in Tyrant’s Star. It is one of the few weapons that increases your defensive capabilities as opposed to your offensive abilities. The weapon can be won by battling the side boss located in Tyrant’s Star dungeon.  The Hero King’s Fan is an excellent weapon for Junah since her defensive stats aren’t that great, so she stands a better chance against all enemies, including bosses, who you have to battle physically in the gameplay.

3. Lance of Judgment

The Lance of Judgment is a long-lost non-Tyrant Star weapon wielded by the Knight character Hulkenberg in Metaphor: ReFantazio. It boasts a 435 attack and a 97 hit. For players to obtain this weapon, they must first get the Lance of the Old God in the Skybound Avatar dungeon. They must then purify it in Grand Trad’s St. Fermis Church for the weapon to manifest. The Lance of Judgment increases a character’s counter-skill activation as well as the chances of counter-skill activation.

2. Dragon’s Legacy

The Dragon’s Legacy is found in the Dragon Temple and is linked to the hardest boss in the game. This is one of the weapons in Metaphor ReFantazio wielded by the Seeker Archetype Lineage classified under Sword. In the game, there’s a final quest that requires you to battle and defeat three dragons. The dragons will lead you back to the Dragon Temple, where you face the Elegy of the Soul, Will. After defeating Will, the sword turns all attacks into Almighty ones. It amplifies all stats by 5, which makes it an important weapon in the last encounter of the game.

1. King’s Crosier

Eupha wields this weapon that is located in the Tyrant’s Star. She is among one of the strongest mages in the game under her starter archetype, the Summoner. Summoners in Metaphor: ReFantazio just like in Final Fantasy, can call upon monsters to help them in battle. The King’s Crosier increases the MP by 30%. Additionally, the weapon amplifies magic attack power, which is the best way to destroy basic enemies and bosses in the game by +5. It enables Eupha to have more than enough power to complete her mission successfully.
