Heismay rounds out your party lineup by being the fourth combat member of your party in Metaphor ReFantazio, but that’s far from where his story stops. His bond (also called Social Link in Persona) is one of the hardest-hitting and most heartfelt in the game.
The eugief’s story picks up after Martira, where you clear his name. From then on, you can unlock the Thief Archetype to use alongside your party, either by bringing Heismay to the fight or by having another party member learn the Archetype.
Here are the answers we used to rank up Heismay’s Social Link (Bond) in Metaphor ReFantazio.
