Thank you for backing me up on that one Super Christ so I didn't have to explain that part of it all.

Magus is not a bad attacker by any means. Its just that compared to others he isn't so hot. Lucca is strong as hell. With her best weapon she is a terrific attacker. Crono has the rainbow with a 70% critical hit rate. Frog has the Masamune which is stronger than magus's best weapon. You have alya which can hit for 9999 damage. There is Robo who I never use but I think his best weapon is still stronger than Magus's...I could be wrong.

This puts magus at #6 way above marle(by far the worst). Thats the way I see the attacking. He isn't bad by any means...but when you have 5 other guys who attack better why bother with him?

Yep...Magus sucks in battle.
