Metaphor Refantazio features a more streamlined turn-based combat system than past Atlus games, though it’s not easy by any means, especially on normal or higher difficulties. 

Knowing that, it’s best to strengthen your party members as quickly as possible, and one way to do that is by raising their MP.

If you have just started your journey in Metaphor Refantazio, the best way to raise the protagonist’s MP is by doing laundry in the Gauntlet Runner.

The washing machine can be found in the Engine Room Corridor, which is on the lowest floor of the Gauntlet Runner.

Please note that using the washing machine will fast forward time, so if you plan to spend your morning or evening doing something else, consider doing laundry at another time.

Fortunately, doing laundry isn’t the most boring activity in the game, as one or the other party member will always join you in this endeavor and share an anecdote from their past. Moreover, you will earn some money.

The best way to increase MP for any companion is by reaching max level on Archetypes. Reaching the level cap on magic-heavy Archetypes, such as Mage, Wizard, Healer, and Cleric, raises MP by 30 points for that character.

Another efficient way to increase MP is by praying at the Altar in the Gauntlet Runner. However, this activity won’t be available until Eupha joins your party, for which you have to finish the Virga Island story arc. 

Lastly, you can raise MP for a character by consuming Energy Incense. These are incredibly hard to come by and are only dropped by high-level bosses and enemies.
