Attacking: single techs, nuking, or physical?

[Teh EkwEE]

My FOney does 400 some odd damage perhit on Ult. Ruins with the mid-level techs. and a Sorccere's Cane equipped. But then I use my base techs for the bosses, which do around the same amount, or a lot more depending on whether or not I have merges equipped, the lower techs are for all intents and purposes useless. They are great on the bosses for the most part, with the vastly lower TP cost, and 30% (or is it 20%) boost to Foie, Barta, and Zonde, makes her a FOrce to be reconked with.

I haven't ever used a FOnewm.......can't speak for him.

FOmarls and FOmars I can. Both are decent meleers, FOmars make HUmars look like childs play in both stats and the variety of gameplay you can mix-up.
FOmarls are great as meleers only with a party I've discovered, they can't do much on their own, but with a RAcast or HUcast acting as meat shield they can get in and hit a few times. The sad thing about them is they literally have the worst animations for every wepon, excluding slicers, the Inferno Bazooka (Which I cannot use as of yet, but I've heard she fires it insanely fast), and Double Sabers, and of those she can only use the Double Saber and the S-Rank Twin. Rainbow Baton and Resta Merge are where she's best at.

FOmars have the best male animations of the saber, his excellent rod animation, and his 20% tech increases to all Gi- techs and Grants.
He can melee and survive on his own in the long haul of Ultimate. From what I've experienced, they take less time to level up from the FOmarl also.
