When Magus joins the party, his [[HP]] takes a massive drop from his former boss forms, but his damage-dealing ability increases. He fights using a {{w|scythe}} as a weapon. His overall function is as a Black Mage type character (dealing damage with magic), but his physical stats are still higher then those of magically strong characters, such as [[Marle]] and [[Lucca]]. He is the only character in [[Chrono Trigger]] besides Robo that uses techs of different elements (and has at least one tech of each element), making him more versatile. His own unique Shadow damage techs are among the most powerful in the early game. Dark Bomb is the only level one spell that can hit multiple enemies and is stronger than any level two spell. His [[Dark Mist]] does the same strength as [[Dark Bomb]] but hits everyone on screen. However, his Dark Matter, while very powerful, is not as strong as the other final lvl3 offensive spells in the game like Luminaire and Flare. Black Hole can be useful against some of the nastiest regular enemies in the game, especially the Iron Maidens in the Dimensional Vortex in the DS version.

Magus, storylinewise, works well independently and his movesets reflect this. The only moveset he has that helps his party is [[Magic Barrier]], which is best used on someone like Robo or Ayla. He is the only character that does not have a Dual tech (one of his main drawbacks). He is also the only character that cannot learn a Triple Tech naturally, mainly with Crono; his triple techs, [[OmegaFlare]] and [[DarkEternal]], require the use of special stones, such as [[Black Gemstone]].

Because Magus' element is Shadow, he is vulnerable to Heaven/Lightning/Light damage, though as a boss he did not have this vulnerability.
