Best Metaphor: ReFantazio Skills to Inherit First

The suitability between each inheritable skill and potential Archetype depends on whether they’re physical or magic-based attackers, or if it’s a universal skill that isn’t dependant on a particular strength but is handy to have in your party.

For example, the Healer Archetype, which has a stronger Magic stat, would benefit from being able to inherit the Cyc or Cyclo Wind skills so it has more elemental type coverage to exploit extra enemy weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Medi is handy to have among multiple party members since it’s always good to have an extra Archetype that can heal in tricky battles, but its effectiveness doesn’t depend on a particular stat either. If you run out of Inheritance slots to get all the skill coverage you need, rank up the bonds of that skill’s original Archetype so you learn Scion’s Skill.

Learned at Rank 03 or 04 for different bonds, Scion’s kill increases the number of skills that can be inherited for its respective Archetype, so you can soon get plenty of extra room in all your movesets.
