Angel Wing (Rinoa ability)

Angel Wing is Rinoa Heartilly's signature ability, first appearing as her second Limit Break in Final Fantasy VIII. Magic wings appear on her back and Rinoa pelts enemies with strong magic. Angel Wing plays to angels being one of her character motifs.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy VIII===
Angel Wing is Rinoa's second Limit Break command, the first being Combine. It is learned as part of the story, fairly late into the game. Using Angel Wing, Rinoa will enter a "magic berserk" state where she barrages enemies with the offensive spells she has stocked without actually expending them, where every spell is stronger than normal.
===Dissidia Final Fantasy NT===
Rinoa's Angel Wing appears as her EX Skill. It replaces her blaster edge and Angelo BRV attacks of Combine form with Angel Wing's magic BRV attacks. While active, Angel Wing continuously drains HP from Rinoa.
===Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia===
Rinoa appears with angel wings after invoking her secondary ability Angel Wing, which converts her Ranged attacks to enhanced Magic attacks and raises MAX BRV for three turns. However, Angel Wing mode drops her defense by a large amount and causes all attacks to drain her HP. Damage incurred does not count against the player’s overall score. It has four uses, and can be canceled out with Angelo Cannon. 
Angel Wing Meteor is her EX Ability, referring to the powerful combo in Final Fantasy VIII of junctioning Rinoa with Meteor as her only offensive spell, and then using Angel Wing prompting her to barrage enemies with meteorites. This ability strikes all enemies three times and places Rinoa in Angel Wing mode for three turns.

Angel Wing spell abilities are a subset of Rinoa's Soul Break skills, which are granted by thrown weapons native to her realm.

The thrown Valkyrie (VIII) grants Angel Wing Bolt, which deals three lightning-elemental attacks to one foe.
Angel Wing itself was later added as Rinoa's Hero Ability. It is a Witch-type ability which deals 6 ice and earth-elemental attacks to one target.
===Final Fantasy Brave Exvius===
Angel Wing clears Rinoa's stat reductions for ATK, DEF, MAG, and SPR, increases her MAG a large amount, with the turn following its use granting an exceptionally large increase to MAG, and enables Triple for three turns. It can be used every 6 turns and becomes available on turn 1, costing 80 MP to use. Cosmetically, Angel Wing always appears to be active in her 6★ and 7★ sprites.
==Other media==
===Dead Fantasy===
The Angel Wing is permanently activated in Rinoa's appearance in Dead Fantasy II. She demonstrates her augmented sorceress powers by conjuring lunar portals from the moon and showcasing telekinetic abilities. Her wings are used for flight and protection. Rinoa casts four offensive spells, first using Blizzaga to freeze the lava lake to save her comrades and the team Dead or Alive. She casts Holy and Tornado by junctioning to her blaster edge, and casts Ultima after executing her ultimate Limit Break, Wishing Star, towards team Dead or Alive while inside the tornado.
