How To Kill Enemies With Real Time Combat In Metaphor: ReFantazio

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that Metaphor: ReFantazio has truly caught my eye and piqued my interest. The unique blend of real-time combat and Squad Combat is something I’ve not seen often, and it adds an exciting layer to the gameplay.


In the game “ReFantazio”, there’s a unique blend of two combat styles: one is real-time combat taking place in the open world, and the other is turn-based combat called Squad Combat, which is the game’s central element. The real-time combat serves as an added advantage during battles, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

In this real-time battle setup, weaker adversaries can be instantly defeated, while stronger ones can merely be stunned, granting players an initial turn at the start of a fight if they decide to engage. A distinct level difference triggers enemy deaths in overworld combat; here’s the specifics about that gap and the typical levels for each color-coded enemy type.

How To Kill Enemies In Overworld Combat In Metaphor: ReFantazio

In the game, when you activate Fae Sight, enemies that turn blue are capable of being defeated through real-time combat. Importantly, only opponents who are at least three levels below the protagonist will display in blue. This distinction is solely based on the protagonist’s own level and doesn’t take into account the rest of your party or any equipped Archetypes. Enemies appearing blue receive significant damage with each attack in the overworld, though the specific number of attacks required to defeat them may fluctuate depending on the protagonist’s Archetype and level.

Characters with a physical focus are typically stronger in combat, dealing more damage in the game world and often swiftly defeating tougher opponents. On the other hand, those with magical abilities might not deal as much damage initially, but they can easily take down weaker enemies in just a couple of attacks.

When confronting an enemy that’s vulnerable to a certain type of physical attack, you can inflict more damage on them during the main game map (overworld) by focusing on that specific weakness.

Level Ranges Of Fae Sight Colors In Metaphor: ReFantazio

In battles viewed with Fae Sight, adversaries will show up as either blue, yellow, or red. When you encounter a new foe for the first time, they will initially appear gray and have a question mark instead of a level number. To reveal their level and adjust their color accordingly, engage them in an overworld battle or confront them in Squad Combat. While colors provide a general assessment of the enemy’s threat level, here are the precise level differences:

Blue3 or more levels lower than the protagonist.
Yellow1 or 2 levels higher or lower than the protagonist.
Red3 or more levels higher than the protagonist.

As a game enthusiast, I’ve found an interesting pattern in this current dungeon: The majority of the foes you encounter are yellow-colored. However, if you manage to turn the common enemies blue, it usually means you’re well-prepared to challenge the boss of that particular dungeon, especially when playing at a higher difficulty level.
