FOnewm.png

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 icon.pngExcalibur allows him to do high damage where necessary, and his 180 ATA allows him to use Demon's Gun icon.pngES Mechgun for very high HP/DFP targets.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • 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 Episodes 1 and 4
  • High Force ATA - With 180 ATA, FOnewm can hit more reliably than the human forces, and has access to Gun icon.pngES Mechgun for Demon's usage
  • Decent melee - While not as strong as FOmar/FOmarl, and no access to Sword icon.pngGalatine, FOnewm is able to deal decent damage with physical weapons where necessary

Cons

  • 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

Pinkal icon.pngPinkal

Pinkal is a staple for FOnewm, as it finds many core Force items in the early game, such as Cane icon.pngFire Scepter: Agni, Cane icon.pngIce Staff: Dagon, and Cane icon.pngStorm Wand: Indra, along with boosted rates to all amplifiers. Once reaching Ultimate, Pinkal offers useful Force items such as Sword icon.pngSlicer of Fanatic, Unit icon.pngV801, Unit icon.pngLimiter, Cane icon.pngGuardianna, Sword icon.pngLame d'Argent, and Sword icon.pngDiska of Braveman.

Finding items that FOnewm hunts well

Greenill icon.pngGreenill

Forces are masters of Episode 4, and Greenill has a very powerful Episode 4 with items such as Unit icon.pngV101, Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker, and Gun icon.pngCannon Rouge. Greenill has decent Ruins drops as well, finding both Shield icon.pngRed Ring and Sword icon.pngMonkey King Bar.

Redria icon.pngRedria

Like Greenill icon.pngGreenill, Redria finds Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker and Gun icon.pngCannon Rouge in Episode 4. Redria also has good Ruins drops, finding both Shield icon.pngRed Ring and Sword icon.pngDiska of Braveman.

General good ID

Whitill icon.pngWhitill

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 icon.pngBluefull, which focus players into certain areas. Whitill finds many good items such as Unit icon.pngV502, Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker, Sword icon.pngDiska of Braveman, Gun icon.pngFrozen Shooter, Sword icon.pngSlicer of Fanatic, and more!

Material and Mag plans

Important Stats Only - Maxes important stats as early as possible. Recommended for levelling.
Min-Max - Maxes as many character specific stats as possible by level 200 using the minimum number of slot units. Recommended at level 200.
Max Stats - Attempts to max all stats at level 200. Ignores any sort of equipment efficiency. Not recommended.

  1. 1.0 1.1 This mag is for Episode 2, so V502 can be used instead of Adept
  2. This mag is for nuking, so DFP/MST are maxed with only V801

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.
