Best Party and Team Composition

The best team composition in the early game will center around the Healer, Mage or the Brawler in Metaphor ReFantazio. Read on to learn more about the best team composition, as well as their recommended Weapons and Inherited Skills.

Best Team Composition for Early Game

Mage and Healer Formation

Character	Archetypes	Recommended Weapons and Skills
Protagonist Back	Mage	・Ice Cane Inheritance Skills Cyc (Seeker 1)
Strohl Front	Warrior	・Dragon's Indignation Inheritance Skills Straight fist thrust (Brawler 1)
Hulkenberg Back	Healer	・Mace in the Shadow of the Moon Inheritance Skills Ironclad bonds (Knight 9)

Allows you to target multiple elemental weakness in the early game

Enemies will have different weaknesses, thus it's important to prepare different types of attacks. Thankfully, the Mage excels in this.

The mage will have multiple elemental attacks including Fire, Ice, and Lightning in the early game. You can add wind attacks as well by using an inherited skill from the Seeker. Meanwhile the Healer can exploit Light weaknesses and can heal your team passively or through an active skill at rank 3.

Equip the Dragon's Indignation with the Warrior

The game rewards you with the Dragon's Indignation once you slay the Dragon at the Nord Abandoned Mine at the prologue. This is one of the strongest weapons due to its fire attribute and high attack power. Thus, it is highly recommended to get it and pair it with the Warrior.

Brawler and Healer Formation

Character	Archetypes	Recommended Weapons and Skills
Protagonist Back	Seeker	・Falchion Inheritance Skills Fountain of magic (Mage 11)
Strohl Front	Brawler	・Fist of Doom Inheritance Skills Heats Up (Brawler 3)
Hulkenberg Front	Knight	・The Mad Spear of All Demons Inheritance Skills Meditech (Healer 3)

Take Advantage of Strohl and the Brawler's Synergy

Strohl loves to deal physical damage which goes well with the Brawler Archetype. It can even buff Strohl's attacks and defense at Rank 11 thanks to the Battle Cry skill. The only downside of this is that Strohl will have to consume his HP to deal damage. Thus, you must make sure you have a Tank and a Healer on your team.

The Knight becomes more durable thanks to Tank and Healing Skills

You should level up your Healer at Rank 3 with Hulkenberg to obtain the Medi skill. This allows her to heal herself and her allies while tanking all the damage from the enemies. Thanks to this, Strohl can abuse his damage as he is continously healed.
