In Metaphor ReFantazio, you can unlock special abilities called Archetypes. There are 47 of them in total, and you can get them by completing quests given by More. By unlocking and using these Archetypes, you can become more powerful in battle. The Gunner is a special Archetype that you can unlock by doing a side quest. While it might be tempting to skip this quest to save time, the abilities it gives you can make it much easier to explore the dungeons in Martira. We’ll show you how to get the Gunner and its skills and stats.
What is The Gunner Archetype
The Gunner is a great choice for fighting enemies from a distance using a crossbow. When equipped by the main character, killing or stunning enemies in the open world will heal the party, similar to how the Mage restores magic points. Gunners can attack from the back row without losing power, and some of their special attacks require them to be there. Completing More’s quest rewards you with five Hero’s Fruit, which can help you quickly level up your Gunner.

How to Unlock The Gunner Archetype
The Gunner is the special Archetype of Neuras, the person who drives your Gauntlet Runner. You first meet Neuras at the beginning of the tournament, but you can’t start working with him until after June 29th. To get the Gunner Archetype, you need to do a side quest called “More’s Task Chapter One: Ordeal”. This quest is available after you level up More to level 3. Then, you need to improve your friendship with Neuras. Finally, complete the quest “Providing A Spark” to unlock the Gunner.
To unlock the Gunner ability and add Neuras to your team, follow these steps:
- Find Gloomy Youth: Talk to the gloomy guy near the main fountain in Martira’s Thoroughfare Square.
- Start the Quest: This will unlock a quest called “Hatching a Plan” and make Komero appear on your map.
- Travel to Komero: Use your Gauntlet Runner to travel there (it takes a day).
- Get Rewards: Once you arrive, you’ll automatically get a relic.
- Complete the Quest: Return to Neuras with these items to finish the quest. This will add Neuras to your team and unlock the Gunner ability.
- Learn the Gunner Archetype: Study with More to learn this new archetype. It will cost you 1125 MAG.
