Summary

The Butch and Cassidy of poaching don't display nearly enough affection for each other to show up simultaneously for a fight, and this marital strife allows for an opening for enterprising players. The fight starts with only Magissa, so with careful planning and preparation a player can weaken Magissa to just above the threshold where she calls her beefcake husband and then blitz Magissa down before she can get another action to call for backup. This is especially easy for Black Mage and Blue Mage who can snap the Ice Rod from Carwen over their knee to kill Magissa easily. While other classes may not be so lucky, they can still pull it off.

Strategies

The HP threshold where Magissa calls Forza defines this fight, as many parties will want to skip Forza for a faster, easier fight. Forza protects his wife by taking up the entire front row so Thief, Monk, and Knight are especially keen on not allowing Forza to show up, as they will deal halved damage to Magissa in the back while she peppers the party with miscellaneous spells and Drain (which can instantly kill most characters at full HP and heal Magissa for the damage dealt). Knights, Monks, and Thieves (notably harder for Thieves because they usually need to level to 11 for another point of M while being wary of the peculiarities of the knife damage formula) are strongly encouraged to count damage to skip Forza. Black Mages and Blue Mages notably can snap the Ice Rod to kill Magissa easily, so their choice is to make this fight easy or save it for Garula. White Mages are stuck with a slow slugfest they will eventually win (with Protect and the flail), but they and Thieves should be prepared for a long, drawn out fight.
