Learn how to unlock, switch, and level up Archetypes in metaphor refantazio. Study them at Akademia using MAG currency.

You will unlock your first set of Archetypes fairly early in the game, right at the end of the first dungeon. For simple explanation purposes, think of them as job classes for your characters. Each character will be allowed to equip one Archetype and as you progress through the game, you will be able to inherit skills from others you have used. Archetypes are available in tiers, but the base versions are usually unlocked as you meet new Followers. As you upgrade your Bonds with the Followers, you will be able to unlock more advanced forms of the Archetypes.

  • First set of Archetypes unlocked at the end of the first dungeon.
  • New Archetypes unlocked as you meet new Followers.
  • Advanced Archetypes unlocked by upgrading Bonds with Followers.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Unlocking New Archetypes: Base Archetypes are unlocked as you meet new Followers. Advanced forms are unlocked by upgrading your Bonds with Followers.
  2. 2
    Switching Archetypes: To switch to a new Archetype, you must first head to Akademia and speak to More. Select the Study Archetypes option. This costs MAG, a currency obtained from battles, to unlock the Archetype for that specific character.
  3. 3
    Leveling Up Archetypes: Win battles to level up your equipped Archetype. You can only level up one Archetype at a time. The maximum rank for an Archetype is 20, after which you gain a permanent stat boost.
Tips
  • The Archetype Tree shows which ones you have unlocked.
  • Once studied, you can switch Archetypes via the Equipment screen.
  • Each Archetype has its own strengths and weaknesses, so consider this when choosing for dungeons and battles.
  • To get better Archetypes, increase Bonds with the Follower, increase the base Archetype's Rank, and use more MAG.
  • Maxing an Archetype to Rank 20 grants a permanent stat boost.
  • Permanent stat boost upon reaching Rank 20 with an Archetype.
