Gau will have a 50% chance of using two attacks, and it will always consist of an Attack and an ability which either can be a special attack, a magic spell, a Dance ability, a Lore spell, or an enemy spell that does not fit into a particular category.

| abstract | - Most regular enemies have a Rage, as well as a few bosses. When Gau Rages, control over him is lost either until he is KO'd or until the end of battle. Gau will have a 50% chance of using two attacks, and it will always consist of an Attack and an ability which either can be a special attack, a magic spell, a Dance ability, a Lore spell, or an enemy spell that does not fit into a particular category. Using Magic, Lore, or enemy spells through the Rage command doesn't cost Gau any MP. Gau emulates that monster, and gains their elemental immunities, weaknesses, and absorptions. He also gets their status immunities, and innate statuses, such as Protect or Float. For example, if Gau Rages the Bomb, he will absorb Fire and be under Float. If Gau rages Magitek Armor, he will have the Protect status. A few Rages provides innate abilities, such as "0 MP equals death". This means that if Gau uses the Rage of an enemy which can be killed by depleting its MP, enemies will be able to KO Gau through both his HP and MP. If Gau Rages an undead enemy, he'll become an undead himself and gain their advantages and disadvantages. Some Rages are considered human, and since Gau is a human target by default, Rages such as the Cartagra will override this and make Gau not a human target since the enemy is not a human target itself. If a confused ally equipped with the Man-Eater attacks Gau who has been raging Cartagra before being attacked, the Man-Eater will not deal double damage to him because he's not considered a human target thanks to the Cartagra Rage. For one reason or another, Gau doesn't inherit the monster's innate ability to automatically deal a critical hit if Imp; this ability can be found on Adamankary and among many other monsters.
