<p>With the barrier changes, you should hope that Magus chooses Shadow as often as possible, especially if you have Robo in your party. '''Shadow Bomb''' only hits one target, so the damage is minimal compared to '''Fire 2''','''Ice 2''' and '''Lightning 2'''. If you have Frog in your party, a normal attack with the ''Masamune'' equipped will lower Magus' magical defence. A healer, or two, is '''very necessary''' for this battle. If you have Marle, then you can use haste (if you have it) which will greatly help in the battle, especially when he tries to cast '''Dark Matter'''. Try to bring a balanced party for attack magic, to ensure that you can penetrate most of the barriers.</p>

<p>Frog with Masamune equipped should often use a normal attack because it lowers Magus' magical defense. Physical attacks can be used if you don't have magic of the particular type that Magus' barrier opens (e.g. Shadow damage is only dealt by Robo's techs). Try to heal fairly regularly when your health gets low with Frog's heal spell ideally. When you read the text "Magus risks casting a spell!" it means that none of his barriers are active and you can hit him with whatever you want, but it also means he's about to cast the ultimate magic attack, Dark Matter, on your party. At this point he won't have very much health to go, so just stay alive and keep hammering him.</p>

<p>When you see "Magus risks casting a spell" he's dropped his defenses and is beginning to charge his '''Dark Matter''' on your party to cause massive damage. Heal before and after this spell and hit him with your most powerful attacks with whatever magic you want, since none of his barriers are active at that point.</p>
