In Metaphor: ReFantazio, players can allocate points to five stats: Strength, Magic, Agility, Endurance, and Luck, at level-up, increasing the effectiveness of the playstyles dictated by each stat.

There are six treasure chests to be claimed in the Belega Corridor Dungeon in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Here is how to get to all of them.
Understanding what each stat does and which ones are worth investing precious points into is key information to have in this game, especially at higher difficulties. While Strength and Magic are fairly self-explanatory, the Luck stat is a bit harder to understand. Here is how it works.
How Does Luck Work in Metaphor: ReFantazio
Luck is one of the five main stats players can allocate points to in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Allocating points to Luck increases critical hit rate, item drop rate, status ailment infliction rate, and the effectiveness of certain skills like those used by the Merchant Archetype.
What Is Critical Hit Rate
It's important to note that increasing Luck will not increase the chance of your hits landing; it will only increase the chance of dealing critical damage on hits that do land. Hit Rate can be increased by putting points into Agility, one of the other stats. Critical Hits can be scored on melee attacks as well as melee skills.
Skills that deal magic damage, like the Mage Archetype's Bot or the Seeker Archetype's Cyc, do not benefit from increased Luck because they cannot critical hit. Only physical skills can crit.
What Is Item Drop Rate
Every time the player defeats an enemy, they will receive a set amount of Experience, Archetype Experience, Magla, and Reeve. In addition, there is a small chance they will receive weapons, armor, accessories, consumables, and valuables, depending on the type of enemy they defeated. Putting points into Luck increases the likelihood of one of these items dropping after a victory. Luck does not increase EXP, A-EXP, MAG, or Reeve.
What is Status Affliction
Certain special skills and items in Metaphor: ReFantazio can inflict status effects on the enemy like Burns, Charm, Forget, Stun, and more. However, even if a skill says it can inflict Forget, for example, the chance of this happening depends on Luck. This means that the Luck stat governs the likelihood of status effects being inflicted on enemies whenever a relevant skill or item is used.
Skills Affected By Luck
There are two types of skills that become more effective with more Luck.
- Multi-hit Skills: Skills that hit the target multiple times within a range—like the Warrior's Slicer Skill (hits target 2-4 times)—will hit more frequently.
- Chance-based Skills: Skills that rely on chance to work will have their effectiveness passively increased. For example, the Thief's Pickpocket Hero Passive, which gives the Hero a chance of receiving an item if an enemy is stunned or defeated in overworld combat, will trigger more often.
How to Increase Luck
There are four ways to increase Luck in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
- Stat Point Allocation: Whenever the protagonist levels up, players can put a point into Luck to increase it permanently.
- Archetype Bonus: Certain Archetypes, like the Merchant and the Faker, provide a boost to the Luck stat as long as they're in effect.
- Equippable Items: Certain weapons, armor, and accessories provide a luck bonus for as long as they are equipped. Check the item descriptions for detailed stats.
- Temporary Luck Boost: Using the toilet on the Gauntlet Runner on an Idlesday (discount day) provides a temporary luck boost that lasts for the rest of the day.
