Can't figure out why my code isn't looping.

[Dko]

Hi im trying to spruce up my battle system so based on a particular stat a character will get to make so many attack commands. What I have currently runs with no error but I still only get one attack. With my testing @num_attacks is higher then 1 but the loop I use it with never executes more then once. Could someone see what I must be obviously messing up in my for loop?
EDIT: if you think there is something else I need to post to help please lemme know.

 def update_phase3_enemy_select
    # Update enemy arrow
    @enemy_arrow.update
    # If B button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      # Play cancel SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      # End enemy selection
      end_enemy_select
      return
    end
    
    # If C button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C) or Input.trigger?(Input::Y) or Input.trigger?(Input::X) or Input.trigger?(Input::Z)
      # Play decision SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
      # Set action
      if @active_battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
        @num_attacks = @active_battler.stam
      else
        @num_attacks = 1
      end
      # Set each attacks strength
      for i in (1..@num_attacks)
        
        if Input.trigger?(Input::C) or Input.trigger?(Input::Y)
          $atk_power[i] = "MED"
        end
        if Input.trigger?(Input::X)
          $atk_power[i] = "STR"
        end
        if Input.trigger?(Input::Z)
          $atk_power[i] = "WEAK"
        end
      end
      
    
      # Set action
      @active_battler.current_action.target_index = @enemy_arrow.index
      # End enemy selection
      end_enemy_select
      # If skill window is showing
      if @skill_window != nil
        # End skill selection
        end_skill_select
      end
      # If item window is showing
      if @item_window != nil
        # End item selection
        end_item_select
      end
      # Go to command input for next actor
      phase3_next_actor
    end
  end

Is there something difficult to understand about my request?
