Your allies are the key to your victory in Metaphor ReFantazio, and Hulkenberg teaches you that early on. She embodies the virtues of the Knight, but that doesn’t necessarily make her the best Archetype.
Metaphor: ReFantazio – 17 Things We Wish We Had Known Sooner
Unlike Persona, you can swap out the Archetypes of your party members in Metaphor ReFantazio. Hulkenberg is a pretty solid tank, and her Knight heritage helps her withstand deadly blows and draw aggro from enemies.
That said, our red-haired royal guard can use a constellation of Archetypes to profile themselves in different roles, allowing for different team compositions without having to swap team members.
Hulkenberg’s stats are focused on Endurance with Strength and some Magic, which you can fine-tune with the right stat bonuses, gear, and Archetypes. Flexing also allows her to inherit multiple skills, which can be useful for broadening her capabilities. Ultimately, the best Archetype for Hulkenberg comes down to what you prefer and what works best for your playstyle, which for us was the Knight.
