Limit Break

Combine . Angel Wing

Angelo fights with Rinoa against the enemy and randomly helps her too! This only works if you read the Pet Pals magazines and train Angelo. When you read a certain magazine, the new attack will appear under Rinoa's Specials menu window.

To learn a specific skill, highlight it. The more walking Rinoa does while in the party, the more the bar fills up. When the bar is full, you will hear a sound and Angelo will have been fully trained with that skill. Angelo can learn up to 8 of these tricks but the ones used in battle are random and often depend on the enemy or Rinoa's status. Only during a certain point in the game on board the Ragnarok is Rinoa unable to use Combine, as Angelo is not with her.

The Automatic Angelo limit breaks are random, occur without wasting a turn, and depend on Luck stats or the amount of time spent on the battlefield. The Combine Angelo limit breaks depend on Speed, Strength and Magic stats in order to make their duration and/or damage more effective. When Rinoa is on a low HP or pinch status, the chances of all limits occurring increases.
