Summary

Magnus serves as the game's main character. The sisters Lana and Thea found him laying under a tree, on the brink of death. Soon after, Magnus joined the two sisters and accompanied them to the capital city of the Kingdom of Albion where he met with John and joined his mercenary group. He is amnesiac and as such does not remember anything about his past. In reality, Magnus's existence is far more complicated than this. He lacks memories not because he forgot them but because he never possesses any to begin with. Magnus is not human, he is a fragment of another being far more powerful than a mere human.

 Another fragment of this mysterious being serves as a voice in his head-his subconscious, and directs him in matters of right and wrong, like a paternal figure. At first, Magnus was unable to speak or even hold a sword, but he quickly learned how to do both due to his relation with this mysterious being.

Magnus harbors no desire to uncover his "past" or reclaim non-existent memories, unbeknownst to him that they never existed in the first place, as he has found a family with Lana, Thea, and the rest of John's mercenary band and that is all he needs.

Skills

Magnus is a very strong and durable character able of dishing out some serious damage and taking some hits. His attacks and skills grant him a stack of Resolve. Once he obtains four of these, his next Skill 1: Echoes of War/Kriegsóhin or Skill 2: Immortal Bastion/Ódauðlegur Básati will be enhanced with a bonus effect. If you need more damage, consider using his empowered Skill 1: Echoes of War/Kriegsóhin but if survivability is what you need, use his empowered Skill 2: Immortal Bastion/Ódauðlegur Básati. Depending on what point in the story you are, his Ultimate: Ragnarök will be different. Its normal version will summon a Megiddo Blade to the field. While this Megiddo Blade is on the field, perform as many attacks and use as many skills as you can with Magnus in order to increase the damage dealt by the blade's explosion. Due to this, it is preferred to pair Magnus with someone that can increase his Atk Spd or decrease the cooldown of his skills. The evolved version of this skill, will instead change Magnus into Fire Ring Magnus, completely changing his skills and refreshing the cooldown of all of them. Fire Ring Magnus is a very strong character that trades his defenses in exchange for more offensive power, due to this, be careful when using his Ultimate: Ragnarök Unchained as you may find yourself more susceptible to damage. Magnus can serve as the team's main damage dealer but if doing so, make sure to pair him with characters that whose level are lower than his or the same as his in order to fully utilize his Personal Skill: Hernaðarmeister by granting him Crit Rate and Crit Dmg, and while he is capable of taking some damage, he should not serve as the team's main tank.

Personal Skill: Battle Master/Hernaðarmeister: Grants Atk/Mag/Spd/Spell Vamp+10%. Boosts exp obtained by 35%. If unit’s level is equal to the highest level in the party, grants +10% to all stats (excluding HP) and 15% Crit Rate/Crit Dmg/Atk Spd. Unit deals 15% of unit’s Atk bonus Physical Damage on hit + 10% of unit’s Mag bonus Physical Damage on hit. Unit’s third attack steals 20% of foe’s Movement Spd and inflicts foe with[Vulnerability α-3] for 5 seconds. (20 second cooldown which is reduced by 20% every time unit critically strikes).
