Synthesis Skills (ジンテーゼ*)? are a special technique in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Appearances[]

Profile[]

Synthesis, meaning "integration" in psychological terms, is a special technique involving a combination of allies that unlock a set of stronger skills.

Synthesis skills consist of generally stronger skills than what the Archetype possesses within its default skill-pool, meaning Synthesis is an alternative way to access certain skills. Otherwise, there are skills unique to Synthesis, such as the Seeker's Horse-Drawn Carnage. Synthesis skills cannot be inherited.

Each skill has prerequisites needed to be met to unlock the use of the skill in battle. All skills require at least one of three specific allies in the form of Archetype Lineages in the party, with a few skills even requiring a separate second ally. Some skills might also require the user has learned a specific skill in their skillpool, such as how Synthesis Botra is locked behind Bot for the Mage.

The Synthesis skills still use up multiple Turn Icon depending on how many allies are required: if there's only 1 ally needed to cast the skill, the skill costs 2 turn icons; if there are 2 allies, 3. Additionally, the skills still cost MP among other currencies, and require both the user and their allies to pay the same amount at once. For example, as the Warrior's Round Slash costs 14 MP to use, if the skill is unlocked with the help of a Knight, both the Warrior and Knight have to pay 14 MP.

The user can technically choose the allies they want to pair up with: if the skill is unlockable by multiple party members, it will show up more than once, distinguished by the party member combinations they'll use.

Allies[]

The trio of allies that act as prerequisites follow a pattern, and there are specific combinations that consistently appear with no exception. Generally, the skills they unlock also follow a theme that distinguishes them from other combinations. The trios of allies are as follows:

Lineages Theme

Seeker, Mage, or Healer Lineages Range-based magic.
