Everything You Need to Know About Rinoa in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia

Starting this week, Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia players will be able to recruit Rinoa Heartilly in a timed exclusive event titled Where To Go.

Series fans will recognize Rinoa as the female lead from Final Fantasy VIII, and is easily one of the most popular characters in the franchise. With the new Opera Omnia event, players can recruit her, and make use of her powerful abilities with Angelo the dog.

As you might expect, playing Rinoa requires you to make smart use of Angelo. According to Square Enix, Angelo can grant BRV and provide healing when necessary.

For instance, the Angelo Cannon ability gives Rinoa the Angelo Recover buff, which allows her to restore a bit of HP and BRV each turn. Square Enix also mentioned that Cannon can be used pretty liberally, making it particularly useful in longer battles.

Ultimately, though, you’ll want to build up to Rinoa’s powerful Angel Wing status, which gives her serious BRV attack and HP attack boosts. Because these boosted versions consume her HP, you’ll want to use it in conjunction with Angelo Cannon.

Here are some more details about each of Rinoa’s abilities in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia:
