FOnewm/Guide
5/
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 Excalibur allows him to do high damage where necessary, and his 180 ATA allows him to use Demon's
ES Mechgun for very high HP/DFP targets.
Pros and cons[edit | edit source]
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
ES Mechgun for Demon's usage
- Decent melee - While not as strong as FOmar/FOmarl, and despite his lack of access to
Galatine, 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

Players leveling FOnewm should aim to maximize his MST stat with Mind Materials and Units as early as possible, and should pick a mag with a high Mind stat. As the player gains levels, they can consider creating a new mag or equipping different units to boost their ATA stat. ATA is FOnewm's second most important stat as it allows him to make better use of weapons with Demon's or Hell specials. ATA also helps FOnewm unlock the ability to use weapons such as Bringer's Rifle and ES Mechgun. Although less significant, ATP can be an important stat as well as FOnewm depends on this stat to equip Slicer of Fanatic and Excalibur. Although DFP is generally an insignificant stat, in certain cases maximizing this stat can help prevent the player from being knocked down. At level 200, there are different Mag stat plans for different scenarios that maximize certain stats and offer different levels of flexibility for Unit selection.
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.
