In **Metaphor: ReFantazio**, a “Strike” attack refers to a type of physical or magical attack that deals damage to enemies. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how Strike attacks work and some specific examples:

### Strike Attacks in Metaphor: ReFantazio

1. **Types of Strike Attacks**:
– **Physical Strikes**: These include attacks like “Round Slash” (Warrior) and “Wild Bore” (Berserker), which deal significant physical damage to enemies.
– **Magical Strikes**: These include attacks like “Gabot” (Mage), which deals weak fire damage to all enemies.

2. **Requirements and Allies**:
– Each Strike attack has specific requirements and allies that can use it. For example, “Round Slash” requires no specific skill but can be used by Warriors, Knights, Healers, or Commanders.
– “Gabot” requires the Bot skill and can be used by Mages, Masked Dancers, or Summoners.

3. **Cost and Turn Icons**:
– Each Strike attack has a specific MP cost and turn icons. For instance, “Round Slash” costs 14 MP and uses 2 turn icons.
– “Gabot” costs 6 MP and uses 2 turn icons.

4. **Synthesis Skills**:
– Synthesis skills can enhance Strike attacks. For example, using a synthesis skill like “Vorpal Blade” can increase the damage dealt by a Strike attack.

### Example Synthesis Abilities

– **Attack: Round Slash (Warrior) / Weak Slash damage to all enemies**:
– **Cost**: 14 mp
– **Turn Icons**: 2
– **Required Skill**: N/A
– **Ally**: Knight, Healer, or Commander lineages

– **Attack: Gabot (Mage) / Weak Fire damage to all enemies**:
– **Cost**: 6 mp
– **Turn Icons**: 2
– **Required Skill**: Bot
– **Ally**: Mage, Masked Dancer, or Summoner lineages

### Strategic Use of Strike Attacks

1. **Elemental Weaknesses**:
– Some Strike attacks can ignore resistances and inflict elemental weaknesses on enemies. For example, “Hellfire Dance” (Masked Dancer) inflicts a one-time weakness to Fire, ignoring resistances.

2. **Combining with Other Abilities**:
– Combining Strike attacks with other abilities like buffs or debuffs can significantly enhance their effectiveness. For instance, using a debuff can lower an enemy’s Attack, making them more vulnerable to a Strike attack.

3. **Formation and Strategy**:
– The formation and strategy of your party can also affect the effectiveness of Strike attacks. For example, using a formation like “Dynast Formation” (Commander) can increase the Attack and Defence of all allies, making them more resilient to enemy attacks and more effective in dealing damage with Strike attacks.

By understanding the types of Strike attacks, their requirements, costs, and strategic uses, you can effectively utilize them in battles to overcome challenging enemies in **Metaphor: ReFantazio**.
