== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy V ===
Aqua Breath (also known as Aqua Rake) is a Blue Magic spell that deals non-elemental damage to all enemies. It also deals 8x damage to desert monsters. It is powerful enough to kill Sandworm in a single hit, and Landcrawler in three. A Blue Mage may learn Aqua Breath from the Dhorme Chimera, Chimera Brain, Leviathan, Bahamut, Azulmagia, Water Crystal, Enuo, Gogo, and Aquagel enemies. It costs 38 MP to cast.
The player may utilize this ability by catching and releasing a Dhorme Chimera, Moogle Eater, Rajiformes, or Aquagel.
=== Final Fantasy VI ===
Aqua Breath (also called Aqua Rake) is one of Strago's initial Lores. It deals Wind-elemental damage in addition to Water damage. It hits all targets, costs 22 MP to cast and has a power of 71 and hit rate of 150. It is one of Strago's most powerful and useful spells, as it hits hard and is MP-efficient.
=== Final Fantasy VII ===
Aqualung is an ability used by a number of enemies. It is a Water-elemental ability that inflicts major magic damage to all enemies. It is first used by the Harpy in the desert in the Gold Saucer Area, and can be fatal for an unprepared party. It is also used by the Jenova∙LIFE boss at Forgotten Capital during "Parting with Aeris", and the Serpent on the Sunken Gelnika.
Since it is Water-elemental, Aqualung can be resisted, nullified, or absorbed with the right set up, and it can be sent back in the direction of the caster if the intended targets have the Reflect. Aqualung's spell power is equal to 3.25x the base magic damage.
Aqualung can be learned as an Enemy Skill. It costs 34 MP to cast. If the entire party has the Reflect status, it can be cast on the party to reflect onto the enemy party a total of three times. This, along with the fact that few enemies have Water resistance, makes this Enemy Skill very effective against bosses and strong enemies.

=== Final Fantasy VIII ===
Quistis can learn Aqua Breath from a Water Crystal. Water Crystals can be mugged from Fastitocalon. One Water Crystal can be refined from one Fastitocalon card, or from five Fastitocalon-F cards, using Quezacotl's Card Mod ability. Aqua Breath's power depends on the current Crisis Level and Quistis's Magic stat.
Aqua Breath is also an enemy ability used by Chimera.
=== Final Fantasy IX ===
Aqua Breath is an ability used by Axolotl and Quale. It has a 50% hit rate and often misses, and costs 14 MP to use. It can't be reflected and works with Return Magic. Aqua Breath deals damage equal to 1/4 of the target's Max HP (or 1/2 with Elem-Atk boost equipment), making it a Gravity type spell, which also means it never works on most bosses.
Quina can learn Aqua Breath as a Blue Magic from the Sahagin, Axolotl, and green Vepal.
=== Final Fantasy X ===
Kimahri Ronso can learn Aqua Breath from the Chimera, Chimera Brain and Yenke Ronso for his Ronso Rage Overdrive. It deals Water-elemental damage to all enemies.

Aqua Breath is also a spell obtainable by Blue Mages, learned from either Leviathan in either version of the Whorleater or Ultros in the Dragon's Neck. It inflicts the Dropsy status to all targets in range, dealing water damage over time. The spell has a 2-second cast time and hits a 8-yalm cone in front of the caster.

As a Blue Magic, Aqua Breath is a water-elemental magic costing 190 AP to cast, has a cooldown time of eight seconds and a power of 35. Three large bubbles are spread randomly in approximately a 140° arc in front of the caster. After traveling a short distance, the bubbles remain stationary.
