The Protagonist has a very special role in Metaphor: ReFantazio, and he isn't designed to fall into a specific category, such as offense or defense. This character is the savior of Euchronia, and you can experiment with a wide variety of builds.

However, perhaps one of the best choices that you can make when it comes to this fighter is to create a damage-dealing build and make him even more powerful. In this guide, we'll show you the perfect build for the Protagonist in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Let's dive in!

Metaphor: ReFantazio Protagonist Best Archetype

From the moment you gain access to the Protagonist, you'll be able to provide him with the best skills and equipment you have available. In this case, the key component of the entire Protagonist build is the Prince Archetype. It can only be unlocked by completing the quest called Prepare For Final Battle.

Keep in mind that this Archetype deals insane amounts of damage to your opponents, and it can also aid other members of your team, which makes it even more valuable. Now it's time to take a look at the Prince Archetype and its stats:

Prince

The Prince Archetype makes Synthesis Skills easier to activate. Moreover, it leads allies, making the most of their strengths with unique skills.

  • Type: Heroic
  • Bond Rank Required: Rank

Keep in mind that if you haven't unlocked the Prince Archetype yet, you can always use Strohl's Warrior or Catherina's Brawler Archetypes. The build will be solid, even though it'll never be as powerful as it is with the Prince.
