Normal mode Magnus bugged?
Recently I've started to try and take on Normal Magnus. Before actualy attempting the runs I did some research by watching other bowmasters (and other classes as well) take on Magnus. I've noticed a couple of things that I didn't see in the videos.
When Magnus does his dash-slash attack he will push you back very far, and if you happen to be at the far end of his sword after being knocked back, it will hit you again within the same attack animation, causing an insta death, since the attack does 50% damage from my understanding.
I have also asked several people about what I can do against the huge knock back Magnus gives. I've been told that Mihile's Link Skill should work, and possibly Concentration as well. Although, these don't seem to work at all. The knock back issue is the biggest problem, and people in the videos that I've been watching didn't get knocked back very far.
My question is: Is Magnus bugged with his dash attack, or has this been an intentional change?

I tried that, but the timing to jump has to be very precise, since it reaches higher than it actually seems. Also there is an invisible ceiling which prevents me from jumping to maximize height, so dodging the slash that way is very difficult. It's easy to do with the slash magnus does around him though.
Also, if you're a bowmaster, you can jump over him with your vertical flash jump to completely evade his dash attack and spin. Just be careful where you land, as you'll get hit by the dash if you land near him.
Thanks for the feedback, guys! I hope they wil fix this soon, because it is severely limiting my runs.
@cris1000 I think you get less damage because of Agressive Resistance. I could be wrong though. For me it does 50% damage.
Hmm, normal magnus doesn't kill me with the rush attack, I'm left with around 1/3 hp if I get hit twice though. Maybe the attack does damage based on your defense, I noticed when I was using noob gear I got one turned ko'd by the rush if it hit twice. Some advice I have is if the second hit would kill me, I pot immediately after the first hit so I can survive the second.
Oh... no wonder I noticed I keep getting hit twice and get knocked back so intensely. I thought I did something wrong there </3
The super KB itself is a glitch, as it doesn't happen in KMS. The second KB at the end of his attack supposedly comes from the reduced invincibility period introduced recently.
Yeah it is only supposed to hit once I think.
