Where To Allocate Your Points~Metaphor: Refantazio

Everytime you level up you get a random stat increase and one point to allocate to any of your choosing! The game gives us a brief description of what they do but it isn't enough to make an informed decision. I'll be going over what each stat does in great detail so it's easier for you to make the best build!

One character called me an unlucky elda, so I'm putting everything into Luck out of spite

[maakuagotoras]

You get to the point rly quickly and explain it well, I love it. Don't burn yourself out answering every comment. 🙏

[akisrivera]

All i do is luck for loot gain. Nothing else matters for a loot goblin like me

[Vinylmelody]

There's an npc that mentions that luck also affects multi hit moves. Higher luck means more hits. So a build using multi hit moves like slicer will definitely like extra luck. And since it also raises crit rate, the odds of getting a crit on physical luck builds is insane.

I always pick magic builds, but knowing how hard it is to reserve magic through a dungeon to clear it in one day is in persona, it’s making me think strength is probably better so you don’t lose a day to having to enter the dungeons more than once because you ran out of MP because literally all your moves require spending it

[ThRazieI]

I was already dumping everything into agility. Dodging attacks usually is quite helpful but since you can just pull aggro with Knight, and have the enemies lose 2 turns (which I didn't even know until this video) it definitely was a good idea lmao

[CB-mrci]

Since magic and hitting weaknesses isn’t as strong in this game as in persona, I’m going to do an all around build so that I can be flexible with my archetypes and play around the stat distributions of my teammates. Yeah it won’t be min maxed but at least I’ll be able to try different play styles.

[LesoTheGamerboy]

I think it would be best to either dumb all of the stats to magic or strength depending on which you want to specialize on. You'll still get plenty of agility, luck and endurance with the 2 stat points you cant allocate when you level up.

Since the game uses the press turn system and it seems like it would be very easy to swap to an archetype that can hit enemy weaknesses, I'm going to go for a magic build. Did the same in Digital Devil Saga and it worked great.

[Lonewulf]

You the man Naz.

I’m glad to see your channel grow

[AMEMORYSAY]

This is super helpful, spoiler free as well. Thanks !!

If the skill says it does physical damage, it scales with strength and can crit. If it says it does magical damage, it scales with magic and can not crit. There are a few elemental skills that deal physical damage so it's important to pay attention to the wording. Royal sword and Royal slash on the protagonist's final archetype scale with the higher of your strength and magic, and are the only skills to do so.

[Theemptythroneistaken]

Agility and luck is where most should be going! The more your dodging attacks the more dps your going to put out.

[ellycridland]

Quick note:
The synthesis skill you tested does "physical" light damage, the physical part being why it scales off strength.
If an elemental ability is not tagged with physical it should scale off magic. Or at least that has been my experience thus far.

[crazypigvids]

I have 2 runs one where i allocate all of my points into magic and one where I allocate my points into strength.

[Lonewulf]

If you want to know the damage formula for physical skills:


(0.9x "weapon power" + 1.3x skill power x % HP remaining (if the skill scales off that) -
0.5x armor defense (100 here for an enemy)) x (1 + 0.01 x (1.8x
St - 0.5x En)) x weakness/ resistance x what I can only assume is level correction

[ggaruda]

For luck stat dumper(like me) when you at the point of the game when you can use toilet there's a small chance you will get perma +1 luck so do it everyday.

Mine already reach 4th town and I think i got atleast 10+ free luck already

[thehaffytaffy]

I personally think agility is awesome, gives you a buzz when you dodge those attacks 😆 .

I’ll be focusing on strength and agility 💪🏽

[gooseb]

Great video! Think I’ll go for magic and luck, what are you gonna spec into Naz?

[WattSCar]

Thanks a bunch for the vid! Im gonna try to put my str and mag stats equal 😅

[michaeltsang]

I picked agility. I don't miss often and I spread my stats out to str and mag. I wanted to try out all the archetypes.
