Best Team Composition For Louis Guiabern's Fight In Metaphor: ReFantazio
- Protagonist - Soul Hacker/Cleric
- Strohl - Samurai
- Heismay - Ninja
- Hulkenberg - Paladin
Strohl and Hulkenberg are essential team members against Louis. Hulkenberg’s Paladin Archetype, with over 600 health, is ideal for tanking most of the boss’s attacks. Meanwhile, Strohl can deliver massive damage with his Slash attacks in the Samurai class. For the third party member, Heismay is an excellent choice if you’ve unlocked his Elite Archetype, as the Ninja Archetype provides substantial damage output critical for this fight. Alternatively, Junah with her Persona Master Archetype can also work well, allowing you to exploit the boss’s one-time weakness to various elements.
If the rest of the party is damage-focused, consider assigning the protagonist as a Cleric for healing support. However, on lower difficulties, simply using Medi as an Inherit Skill should suffice, allowing you to bring a more offensive Archetype instead.

Louis Guiabern has no specific weaknesses but also no resistances, allowing players to use any Elemental or Physical Skills to deal damage. His Soul Cry attack grants him two turn icons, followed by Royal Coercion on an ally, which reduces their Attack and Defense. His primary damage source is Royal Slash, a multi-hit attack on a single ally.
With Hulkenberg, prioritize Holy Knight's Proclamation to absorb the boss’s damage. If you perform a Critical Hit on the boss and manage to get another turn icon on Hulkenberg use the Knight's Defence to boost her defences.
Focus on using high-damage Skills consistently. Strohl’s Giant Slice costs only 16 MP and deals reliable damage. Consider inheriting Gold Attack on party members who studied the Merchant Archetype. Although it’s lower in damage, Gold Attack has a high Critical Rate, granting additional turn icons.
Louis frequently targets the protagonist, so it’s crucial to keep their defenses high to avoid a dangerous combination of Royal Coercion and Royal Slash. Flying Guard Thrust Synthesis is effective due to its high damage output, though it requires two turn icons, recoverable with a Critical Hit. After defeating Louis, you will receive the following rewards:
- 9075 EXP
- 1155 A-EXP
- 1500 MAG
- 7500 Money
