Metaphor: ReFantazio | Follower Guide – Strohl

The warrior noble will win you over

Game Guide by Arne on  Oct 14, 2024

Metaphor: ReFantazio is out, and it's amazing the game inherits or otherwise builds on many mechanics from Persona and SMT. One such mechanic is the companion system, or as the game calls it, Followers. Followers are your natural companions, who you fight and spend time with, and who let you give some benefits for doing so. In this guide, you will get an overview of Leon Strohl.

Leon Strohl is unlocked fairly quickly, and he comes in a pair with Gallica. He comes with the Warrior Archetype and mostly provides bonuses relating to that. His first bond level is unlocked as a part of the main story.
