equipment for a pathetic FO

[Teh EkwEE]

Okay, go ahead and, (I'm gonna' get my ass chewed into for this statement), round out the mat usage. Make everyone you use equal. So give him them until he's had twenty of each. After that, you'll have an even number. Then force feed him every last Pow and Mind material you have, keeping track on the total amount remaing. (Take the remaining number of mats left and divide by two.) I would advise maxing out LCK, but it's hard to do. My FOmarl benefits from it greatly, and only needs two more. It's worth the time though.

thanks for the advice ekwee. i think that it would be very good to get him to have equal stats. on a different topic, what about my weapon/fighting style? i posted about it recently here and i'm not sure if it's going to work for me, unless i stay in very hard forever. maybe i could just get a much better weapon (better than geist gladius+13 with 35% hit), although it is pretty strong. for now.

thats pretty good, i'd grind it if i were you.

[A.S.]

I would try for a Double Saber with 50% hit for it's special, easy prize from 5-5, for any FO who plays BB. I doubt you will get a Double Saber with > 50% hit otherwise, it's too rare. From what I see, the only reason in Ultimate you would be satisfied with the Geist Gladius with 35% hit is it's special, which won't do well after Forest.

Look at this for mat usage. The material page comes with mag stats that work aside it, but don't worry about your mag's maxing stats until L170, until then, keep my suggestions in mind: 5/145/50/0 or 15(12)/0/0/185(188).

what about my weapon/fighting style?

I answered this question in the last page, I'll put more options in this one.

- Sabers: Excalibur and Red Saber (Red Coat or Crimson Coat would help)
- Katana: S-Rank Axe, Agito 1977 (Agitos are out of the question, refer to Sabers for the most similar weapon)
- Knuckles: Angry Fist
- Claws: Morning Glory (Claws are out of the question, refer to Knuckles)
- Daggers: Twin Chakram
- Double Sabers: S-Rank Twin (no hit) Double Saber (Complete 5-5 with a FO, this the the prize, but with 50 hit)
- Slicers: Rainbow Baton, Red Slicer, Diska of Braveman

- Rifle: Holy Ray (Out of the question, refer to Handguns)
- Handguns: Red Handgun
- Mechguns: M&A60 Vise or Vulcans (Vise is hard to get with hit, stay with special Vulcans)

Here is an unedited guide, not as good, credits to Tycho. I wouldn't credit him for listing crappy suggestions, though >_> None of those FO weapons can be used properly while meleeing, so I excluded them in my revised guide. Clio is surprisingly powerful, I know you don't have BB, though.

Sabers: Excalibur
- Katana: S-rank Hammer, S-rank Harisen, Agito 1980
- Knuckles: S-rank Knuckle, Angry Fist
- Claws: Morning Glory (with Morning Prayer), S-rank Claw
- Daggers: P-Arms's Blade
- Swords: Crazy Tune
- Partisans: Soul Banish, S-rank Scythe
- Double Sabers: S-rank Twin, Double Saber
- Musashi: G-Assassin's Sabers
- Slicers: Slicer of Fanatic, Rainbow Baton, Red Slicer (with Crimson/Red Coat), Diska of Braveman (with Thirteen)

- Handguns: Red Handgun
- Rifles: Holy Ray
- Bazookas: Inferno Bazooka
- Mechguns: M&A60 Vise

- Canes: Clio
- Wands: Solferino
- Rods: Psycho Wand
- Cards: Gal Wind

Your FOmars MST is actually quite tiny in comparison to the power he probably needs. My FOmar is level 38 with almost 600 MST. I use a 136 mind mag, needs updating but it gives Charlie an incredible amount of power.

Personally I hardly melee at all and I don't see what all the fuss is about, fluids don't cost much, just blast everything to pieces.

[Kitsadoodles]

yes i understand that, and i too melee only when the enemy has fairly low health from all my blasting. my problem is that i both want to melee a little and actually survive while doing it, so i need a good weapon so i don't do 17 damage and end up on the floor after every combo. i do think he needs more power, because at level 77 he has a pathetic 353 ATP, or something like that. this, and his best weapon is a geist gladius+14 with 35% hit. i don't have a problem with casting, as it is fun to blow stuff to bits, i just like to melee.

[colohue]

Fair point but I would suggest a more blasty approach while you hunt a new weapon. Go hunting Angel/Minds or Mind Materials.
