Players control the protagonist, who is the promising savior of the land of Euchronia in ReFantazio Metaphor. Unlike other followers who play a particular role in the overall unit of the squad, i.e. offensive or defensive, the Protagonist can sport a much wider range of builds. The build diversity actually works in its favor, as different players have different play styles and can use any combination of equipment and skills to play as the main character in their own style.
However, to create the best build for the protagonist, the focus will be solely on the combination of equipment and skills that deals the most damage. This construction can be designed towards the second half of the ReFantazio Metaphorso you can expect some incredible damage figures.
