5 best Hero Passives in Metaphor ReFantazio

Metaphor ReFantazio takes players on a journey across an incredibly vast and detailed map and presents many enemy encounters and boss fights along the way. The characters have a health bar as well as a magic bar that can be depleted and refilled throughout battles and gameplay. Replenishing both can be troublesome, given the need to use the limited supply of items in the inventory or execute spells. This is where Hero Passives come in.

As the name suggests, they are passive, meaning they operate without the player's action. These abilities can immensely help in gameplay and boss fights. With that in mind, here are five great Hero Passives in Metaphor ReFantazio.

Found within the Masked Dancer Archetype lineage, Victory Dance may be among the best passives in the whole game. This is because, with this equipped, all party members will recover MP and HP each time an enemy has been stunned or defeated in overworld combat. This can prevent the need to use up additional items or spells to heal the party and replenish the MP bar after boss fights.


2) Alchemy

Alchemy may be among the best Hero Passives simply due to its incredible benefit of providing extra money to players when an enemy is stunned or defeated in overworld combat. This passive is part of the Merchant Archetype lineage.

Though it may not seem like much of a benefit, this bonus money will accrue throughout the campaign, allowing for faster and easier purchases of items. Equipping this while completing side dungeons and optional boss fights can make purchasing equipment and items much easier and speedier.


3) Support Recovery

Found within the Healer Archetype lineage, Support Recovery can prove very beneficial in intensive boss battles. Each time a support within the party lands a hit on the enemy during overworld combat, some HP is recovered. As a healer is an integral part of most teams, having this passive equipped can slightly help prevent HP values from depleting at a vast rate during battles.

As the name suggests, Magic Recovery is a Hero Passive that can help recover MP quicker. Given how important a resource MP is in a turn-based combat game, this passive replenishes some MP each time an enemy has been stunned or defeated in battle. This is part of the Mage Archetype lineage and proves to be a great way to refill a depleting MP bar without having to use spells or items.


5) Barge Past

Barge Past is a great passive, which is quite beneficial in the early game cycle. The benefit of having this passive equipped is that when the fight commences upon an enemy strike hitting a party member, the advantage of always getting the first turn no longer lies with the enemy. This Hero Passive is a part of the Warrior Archetype lineage.
