The Seeker is one of the most basic Archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio. It is canonically the Protagonist’s Archetype. It is the first Archetype you earn in the game and acts as a attack focused archetype dealing Wind magic, buffing that attack strength, and healing single targets where needed.
With enough investment, the Seeker can be improved and enhanced into its Adept and Elite forms: Magic Seeker and Soul Hacker. However, the Seeker is what most will start of using during the game’s first month of so and it is a solid Archetype to begin your adventure with. It is weak to fire attacks and resistant to other Wind attacks.
