A magus can always count on his trusty Warpblade to give him access to all his strike (five in total) every turn, and by using the Magus' Antipodes, he will be able to attune himself to one or two element, manipulating his strike to devastating effect. But his strength is his weakness, as the Magus can use only a single time each strike per turn, meaning that he can be left with spare action if he relies only on the Magus' Art, particularly at high level where Ap and Concentration tend to fly very high.

A very important part to understand about the Magus is the Attuning. By the way of the Magus' Antipodes, you will be given a "Primary attunement" that will allow you to essentially choose that element for that turn.Then, you will have a "Second attunement" to use. All of the Warpblade skill use a custom ressource, "Element attunement (Fire Attunement for example).

Simply put, the "Primary Strike" and "Heavy strike" will require you to have been attune to the element of that strike (For example, flame attunement is required to use "Flame Uprising", the fire heavy strike).On the other hand, Primary Utility and Secondary Utility alligne themselves to the secondary attunement.

In term of role, each element tend to fulfill one:
-Fire bring heavy damage and burn
-Water bring defensive option and healing
-Air bring damage, vulnerability and some utility (Quantum Strike say hello flyer)
-Earth bring damage, bleed and defensive option

In addition to the Warpblade, the Magus has some card to be added to his deck as normal. They are Singleton (meaning you can have only one of them in your deck) and each of them have his own use.
