Why would you choose to do it in SH over XH?
Didn't think I would take this long to respond, but whatever. The reason I'm trying to beat him on Super hard is because I got an S rank on every other difficulty but not this one and it's a personal thing, especially since I'm leveling my true classes so I'm stuck at fighting him at this difficulty at the moment. I can only hope the true final boss that's going to show up the next day won't have the same problem, especially since there will be no locked stats this time.

Considering AIS scales with level and Magatsu's HP on SH is abormally high, i'd assume it's rather unforgiving. If you can avoid SH AIS Magatsu, it's very tight fit for pugs even on XH
If you're leveling up another class, that may be unavoidable.

Did Magatsu SH with some pretty thorough players. We spammed the guide Symbol Art at the beginning and had some odd camaraderie with our weak bullets. AIS had a bit of mobility with Over Boost and you can 'deal tons of damages' with Photon Blasts at the right locations/timing.
Standing all on one rock after each Magatsu to share a heal with other players felt warming.
So you were able to beat him? I find the symbol arts a little helpful but I feel like not as helpful as full on mini instructions like I made for Luther, so now I'm considering making them again since everytime I did get paired up with someone who did that, we still failed.

Do XH and all 3 always die.
I figured that will always happened in this mode, especially if you do it as early as you can.

I did once, but it was mostly a fluke, as at least four people knew what they were doing, and seemed to be together.
And by second form in my case, I mean third gold magatsu. I've only ever once failed second magatsu.
Reminds me of how I ran into an Alliance of 5 players but even then it wasn't enough.
