Metaphor ReFantazio is the latest game from the creators of Persona 5 Royal, and nowhere is the Persona influence more apparent than in the functioning of Archetypes. These spiritual entities can be summoned in battle, and they can turn the tide of a conflict when used well. The Archetypes have different affinities and skills that complement different characters.

Heismay is a character in the game who can be as nimble as the wind. In this guide, we shall go over the five best Archetypes that Heismay can use in Metaphor ReFantazio to accentuate his traits.

1) The Thief

The Thief is the first entry in this list because there’s a natural bond between the Thief and Heismay. It is introduced to the game as part of Heismay’s character arc and complements his natural traits and beliefs. The Archetype possesses skills such as Steal that capitalize on Heismay’s nimble footwork while also allowing him to grab valuable loot from the enemy. 

2) The Gunner

Heisman is nimble with his movements, but he has a small stature. He is light, which can make him vulnerable in combat. We recommend the Gunner because it allows him to engage in combat from a distance. You unlock this Archetype by reaching Bond Rank 1 with Neuras. Use the Archetype’s Poison and Sleep Shot skills from the back row to deal heavy damage. 

3) The Assassin

Heismay’s Assassin Archetype makes full use of his fast movement and evasive nature. You unlock this Archetype by reaching Bond Rank 3 with Heismay, alongside Thief Rank 20. The Assassin comes with the Steal skill and the Shadow Dwellers skill. The Archetype lives up to its name with the Assassinate skill, which deals heavy Dark damage to an enemy and one-hit-kills most enemies in the game. 

4) The Ninja

The Ninja falls in the same lineage as the Thief but improves upon everything the latter has to offer. The Archetype can be unlocked by reaching Bond Rank 7 with Heismay, in addition to Assassin Rank 20 and Sniper Rank 10. The Ninja’s Agility Lore skill automatically increases the user’s ability to evade at the start of each fight, making Heismay a phantom dancing around the field. 

5) Royal Thief

The Royal Thief is the best Archetype you can use for Heismay. You unlock it by reaching Bond Rank 8 with Heismay, in addition to Ninja Rank 20 and Dragoon Rank 15. The Royal Thief is the pinnacle of the Thief lineage and offers a variety of skills. The skill we recommend using the most is Noble Thief’s Soul. It depletes the enemy’s turn icons if their attack is dodged. Pair this skill with Heismay’s evasive nature, and you have a recipe for success.
