Hello! This is a guide to get you through the Cosmic Trial with Magneto. Note: This is NOT the best Magneto. It is NOT end game Magneto. You will not find the BiS items in this build. 

Set Up

I capped myself at 150 Infinity Points for these trial guides. It won't take too long to build up that many. By the time you've leveled up a few characters for synergies and farmed some Heroic (Red) Challenges and terminals for some gear you may even be past 150 IP when you try the trial. Worst thing that can happen when you try the trial is you fail there is no punishment. So give it a shot and see if you're missing damage, survivability or both.

Not all end game builds work equally well with less IP and gear. I tried a couple of the builds that already existed and found one that worked well to get through the Cosmic Trial. 

Props to Frostacus coming through again. This is a trimmed down version of his guide here: https://itembase.mhbugle.com/build/1266/#p1 after clearing the trial this would be a good guide to begin farming for.

Synergies

We're focusing on our archetype stats - Intelligence and Energy - after that we're going for Energy Damage/Ranged and Area Damage. Squirrel Girl and Wolverine as well of course for boss damage and bruts.

Infinities

I put 38 ranks into Temporal Loophole in the Time Stone. Attack Speed and Movement Speed are both incredibly powerful.

Gear 

 - This is the highest damage option at i70 if you choose to go that route. I did die on my first attempt and had a couple of close calls so if you are dying try switching to .

  and  are my go to beefy artifact options I did not use them in this build, again if you feel a little squishy swap these in for the  or . I put these in because I had them and they're easy to find.   and are decent damage options that are pretty easy to farm up as well. Magneto did not need much help in the damage department. If you're struggling with staying alive don't hesitate to swap to a bit more defensive options. 

His own uniques work for slot 1-5.There's better in some slots but we're trying to make gear as easy to get as we can.

For the medkit you want the shield on med kit use. Energy, health on hit.

Inisgnia - I used a Storm Insignia.

Team Up

Jessica Jones is kind of becoming my default here. The grouping is just too good.

Playstyle

 

 - Hold down on your enemy (I have bound to left click). Spends debris but also generates debris.

- Applies vulnerable and hitting enemies with this on them generates debris orbs. Make sure this is on your target at all times. Does not have a CD, don't overcast.

- Builds charges faster when you pick up debris. Don't let it sit capped. I usually just fire off all the charges at once. Let it build back up to full charges and shoot them all.

- Dash, evade damage, breaks CC. Can dash towards orbs to pick them up as well.

- Signature. Use on CD. Great aoe clear and gives damage reduction.

- Area damage DoT. Very visible. Can have two areas out. Don't over cast. Can use the duration of one of these areas to track your  duration.

- Generates Debris. Use on CD.

- High damage ability use on CD.

Hopefully this helps you clear the Cosmic Trial so that you can start farming your best gear and move on to bigger and better content and bigger and better guides! Have fun out there.

Thanks!
