Prioritize defeating the X-Fists first, because each of them has an attack power of 9 and can quickly reduce your party's HP if you ignore them. The two X-Fists act independently and will appear periodically.
Note that using Vivian's Fiery Jinx move can defeat the two X-Fists in one hit and put the body in a burned state.
Using single target attacks like hammer attacks, Koops' moves, or Vivian's moves are the most effective against high defense enemies like Magnus Von Grapple 2.0.
Note that using jump attacks against an enemy with high defense is ineffective.
It is recommended to position your partner in front to shield Mario from the machine gun attack. When Magnus Von Grapple 2.0 has half of its HP left, it will launch a machine gun attack that can cause 30 damage.
Note that you will need a partner who has more than 30 HP, which you can do by upgrading them to Super Rank and Ultra Rank. You can also equip an HP Plus P badge to increase your partner's HP.
You can use the Power Lift special move to increase your attack and defense powers to reduce the damage from Magnus Von Grapple 2.0's attacks. Once your attack power is increased, use Power Bounce to deal high amounts of damage.
