How to defeat Leogron of Spire of Blind Faith Metaphor ReFantazio
On Floor 7, you will meet your final opponent, Leogron. Here's how you can beat it:
Exploit Fire Weakness with Junah’s Flame Vortex
- Spell: Flame Vortex (42 MP)
Junah's Flame Vortex is your primary damage source, thanks to her high Magic stat and Leogron’s Fire weakness.
Use Strohl’s Mania Bullet for Pierce Damage
- Skill: Mania Bullet
Strohl is best for dealing Pierce damage with Mania Bullet, which deals substantial Pierce damage.
Capitalizing on Slash with Assassin’s Illusive Dream
- Skill: Illusive Dream
Leogron’s weakness to Slash damage can be exploited by an Assassin in your party, especially using Heismay’s Illusive Dream.
Countering Leogron’s Buffs
- Heat Riser: Raises Leogron’s Hit and Evasion
If Leogron casts Heat Riser, it will temporarily increase its Hit and Evasion, making it harder for your party to land attacks. Make sure to have someone in your party equipped with debuffing skills or items that can reduce Leogron’s evasion and cancel out the effects of Heat Riser.
Healing and Survival
Keeping your party healthy is critical in this battle. Assign a dedicated healer to ensure everyone’s HP remains in a safe range. Leogron’s attacks can be punishing, especially if Heat Riser boosts its accuracy. Having a high-level healing spell, such as Full Heal or Mass Heal, is essential.
Best grinding route for under-leveled players in
The Spire of Blind Faith in Metaphor ReFantazio
If you find yourself under-leveled (The boss is Level 55, so try to be on a level near it), here's a detailed strategy to grind your way up:
- Holy Malmorta and Noble Malmorta Enemies: On the floor just below Leogron, these enemies can be farmed for EXP. Since most of them are in the "blue range." you can clear them out without triggering full squad battles.
- Plateau Mirage: You can go to Akademeia from the final floor, reset the enemy spawns, and grind again.
- Weather Conditions: During bad weather, the EXP and rewards are higher, making this an ideal time to farm.
- Mage and Merchant Classes: Use Mage to maintain your MP for heals, and Merchant to turn this grind into a money-making opportunity.
This grind route is a slow but effective way to catch up if you find yourself under-leveled and unable to defeat Leogron.
