Melee Force....

[ChronoTrigga]

So which is the best melee force? I want to make a force, but I hardly use techs. So I figure I could take on using a force as a melee with some added benefits such as Resta/Shifta/Deband.

[Apostosis]

I think that the best for that is a fomar

FOmar... My melee Fomar is really awesome...

[leviayurashyguy]

FOmar has the best ATP:ATA ratio out of the Forces. FOmarl falls short in terms of precious base ATP but she gets a Resta bonus which is great for heals w/o rods

since you're going for battle mage, your pallete will be a little more spacious so take advantage by setting Shifta and Zalure to increase your damage and accuracy

also note that FOmar/l gets access to Crimson Vis, a non-melee mechgun. if you plan to go solely melee, you will see your damage not so high in Wetlands, Rioh, and Ruins

Levia is the battle mage pro, Handsock. You'd be wise to listen to him/her.

atp is useless if your using a force weapon (like a wand), but you need atp for other types of weapons (like a saber)

[King_Yoshi42]

I'd think that Forces would stick to Rods and Slicers for Melee. Get a Mind Bonus, plus damage is based on the already high Mind stat.

[leviayurashyguy]

well i might have read the question wrong, if you want to be melee and not use daggers or sabers or such, Wand with magical sign is great for damage. FOnewearl does that the best

[zeital]

i'm starting to make a Slicer melee FO with my FOmarl, jusy cuz of the 100 mats i get to work with over the 80 for Newmans

[ChronoTrigga]

Well I was only going to use Force weapons as melee. :D Sorry I didn't mention that earlier.

If you want to melee as a force, then be sure to bring a gun to the Makara Ruins on SH. The enemies there have high resistance to melee attacks and that's the one place you can't get away with meleeing.
