How to Beat Magnus Von Grapple

1. Defeat the Arms First
2. Using Spread Attacks is Very Effective
3. Use Items While Attacking

Defeat the Arms First

Prioritize defeating the arms first, because each of them has an attack power of 4 and can quickly reduce your party's HP if you ignore them. Magnus Von Grapple will deploy his two arms when his HP drops below 20.

Defeated Arms Will Revive After a Few Turns

Note that after you defeat an arm, it will revive again in a few turns and when it does be sure to prioritize in defeating it again.

Using Spread Attacks is Very Effective

When the arms appear, using spread attacks against them is very effective. Since a spread attack can defeat the arms in one turn, you can use the Earth Tremor special move and Mutibounce to attack opponents in the air.

Use Items While Attacking

Recommended Item	Effect
Mini Mr. Mini	Reduces the attack power of enemies by shrinking them.
Power Punch	Increases your attack power by increasing buffness.
Courage Shell	Boosts your partner's defense.
Fire Flower	Damages all enemies with fireballs and inflicts burns.

Magnus Von Grapple has a fairly high HP of 30, so using items that can increase your attack power is highly recommended.

In particular, if you use items that increase your attack power and decrease your enemies' defense, you can increase the damage you can deal to your opponent.
