Mag attack suggestions

[NicholasJWatson]

So I got the Orion mag because it looks sooo baaad aaasss. He starts with r attack fire for his mag attack. 2 excubes gets me anyone I want though. What would be useful of that pool? I see there are piercing and exploding options as well as just spells. I know knock down is useless because it takes the enemy out of damage range and thats why I rebuilt a character after making a str mag (dont have premium)
Looking for ideas during this maintenance. Regards.

I use megid. Randomly makes f. cont/sanctum dragonkin pushovers (and honestly quartz, and dragon ex on SH are just unfair). Nice coverage with burn on fi weapons for chase advance.

Also, it's ultimately on you, but I wouldn't raise a mag for looks. (besides, sonichi was at a good price with the sympathy concert cd release)

I find mag regular atk to not be truly important compared to the player. I would simply recommend looking into added effect. For example, I remember someone who recently recommended to use an elemental spell atk for FI who use chase advance as an extra source of SE. But Orion being a range/dex/tech mag, I doubt that example would help.

Edit: Nvm, got ninja'ed to it.

Blow, which knocks enemies down, is nice at times. Probably less useful than status ailment inflicting attacks if you have Chase Advance as the two above me have spelled out.
