[[File:FOnewm.png|right]]
'''FOnewm''' is a newman Force who boasts the strongest Gi- and Ra-series [[techniques]] amongst all the Forces, due to his high MST and extra damage boosts. He is widely considered to be the strongest and most versatile Force, as alongside his unparalleled nuking power, he has enough ATP and ATA to equip various important weapons for physical damage in situations where techniques are not viable.

With his versatility, he can tackle all manners of content effectively and does not have any major drawbacks. While he will not hit as hard with weapons as the human Forces, his ATP is respectable and access to {{Sword|rare|Excalibur}} allows him to do high damage where necessary, and his 180 ATA allows him to use Demon's {{Gun|es|ES Mechgun}} for very high HP/DFP targets.
==Pros and cons==
<big>Pros</big>
* Strongest techniques - Due to FOnewm's high MST and +30% boost to the Gi- and Ra-series techniques, FOnewm is the strongest Force for casting techniques
* Extremely powerful solo - As FOnewm is a Force, he is very powerful when alone in [[Episode 1|Episodes 1]] and [[Episode 4|4]]
* High Force ATA - With 180 ATA, FOnewm can hit more reliably than the human forces, and has access to {{Gun|es|ES Mechgun}} for Demon's usage
* Decent melee - While not as strong as [[FOmar]]/[[FOmarl]], and with no access to {{Sword|rare|Galatine}}, FOnewm is able to deal decent damage with physical weapons where necessary
<big>Cons</big>
* Low support range - FOnewm does not have any extra range with support techniques, making support hard in parties where a supportive party member may be necessary

==Section ID choice==
Note that the section ID choices below are merely suggestions, and are not required choices for playing FOnewm. All IDs have tangible benefits, leaving ID selection up to player preference. Below are a few recommended IDs for FOnewm depending on what type of item coverage is preferred.
===Finding items for FOnewm===
<big>{{Pinkal|32}}</big>

Pinkal is a staple for FOnewm, as it finds many core Force items in the early game, such as {{Cane|rare|Fire Scepter: Agni}}, {{Cane|rare|Ice Staff: Dagon}}, and {{Cane|rare|Storm Wand: Indra}}, along with boosted rates to all amplifiers. Once reaching Ultimate, Pinkal offers useful Force items such as {{Sword|rare|Slicer of Fanatic}}, {{Unit|rare|V801}}, {{Unit|rare|Limiter}}, {{Cane|rare|Guardianna}}, {{Sword|rare|Lame d'Argent}}, and {{Sword|rare|Diska of Braveman}}.

===Finding items that FOnewm hunts well===
<big>{{Greenill|32}}</big>

Forces are masters of Episode 4, and Greenill has a very powerful Episode 4 with items such as {{Unit|rare|V101}}, {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}, and {{Gun|rare|Cannon Rouge}}. Greenill has decent Ruins drops as well, finding both {{Shield|rare|Red Ring}} and {{Sword|rare|Monkey King Bar}}.

<big>{{Redria|32}}</big>

Like {{Greenill}}, Redria finds {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}} and {{Gun|rare|Cannon Rouge}} in Episode 4. Redria also has good Ruins drops, finding both {{Shield|rare|Red Ring}} and {{Sword|rare|Diska of Braveman}}.

===General good ID===
<big>{{Whitill|32}}</big>

Whitill is a powerful ID that gets many coveted and valued items in almost every area in the game. Whitill is the most unrestrictive ID, giving players the freedom to play any content and still have the chance of scoring something big, in contrast to more restrictive IDs such as {{Bluefull}}, which focus players into certain areas. Whitill finds many good items such as {{Unit|rare|V502}}, {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}, {{Sword|rare|Diska of Braveman}}, {{Gun|rare|Frozen Shooter}}, {{Sword|rare|Slicer of Fanatic}}, and more!

==Material and Mag plans==

Note that the Max Stats plan isn't recommended here; it forces FOnewm to use all four of his unit slots, resulting in him being unable to use V501, V502, V801, etc.
