"O fate-saddled child, O anguished traveler... thy fate is crown-twined, thy soul bound for the throne. The future yet unknown dawns in this moment. Thy path may fork, but only one may be chosen. Confront the threat before thee, or die in obscurity. Now choose. (...) So be it. Heroism lies in the soul that stands against its fears. Power awaits thy command. The time is come to awaken the hero within! Engrave thy very heart!"
Seeker is an Archetype in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
History[]
"In times of yore, there lived heroes who ventured into unknown lands in pursuit of their ideals. Their souls together form the power of the Seeker. This was not just one legendary hero. Across many lands and eras, those intrepid spirits who sought greater heights on the Seeker's path have borne that alias. Among them, the Adept who pursues a magical path I dub the Magic Seeker, and the Elite who seeks the deepest truths of the soul I dub the Soul Hacker. The Seeker Archetype does not excel at any one skill, but it mears the specialties of many other heroes, and can perform any task. A jack of all trades is a master of none. Let no Seeker forget this truth."
Profile[]
"The Origin Seeker Archetype. The Seeker's average stats and versatile skillset make for a good all-around Archetype with few standout strengths or weaknesses. Resistant to Wind but weak to Fire, the Seeker can learn skills for healing, buffing, and using Wind magic."
Seeker is the first Archetype to appear in the game, awakening within the protagonist during his confrontation with the human Homo Gorleo at the Northern Border Fort. Progression with the Seeker lineage is maintained with the protagonist's bond with More, with said bond also allowing his party to access the Archetype for themselves as well.
Strategically, it is a jack-of-all-trades that does not excel at any specific skill aside from its versatility. Because of that, it relies on the support of others, particularly specialized allies. It has Synthesis chemistry with near every lineage, with the exception of the Summoner.
On Synthesis support towards other party members, as a secondary ally, the Seeker lineage is primarily categorized as a range mage (alongside Mage & Healer) and a leader (alongside Knight and Commander), as these combinations of Archetypes unlock a consistent set of skills, allowing one to rotate between this set of archetypes strategically without compromising the user's available Synthesis skills. The range mage category unlocks mostly multi-target Magic attacks, and the leader category unlocks tactical Support skills.
Once a party member reaches mastery with this Archetype, the Seeker grants a permanent bonus to their Max HP by 20.
