a few reasons, i guess? (from what i remember, please correct me if im wrong)
decent speed
average damage, close to shadow
knockback can sometimes be useful in tight situations
good defensive play in poison cloud removal and incredible clears (being the only magic that can HARD COUNTER poison, and shutting down most other common DoT)
tbh wind is probably one of the best magics around, 19 blasts are hell annoying if you can land or hit them, the Explosion is annoying as fuck because it makes the go up in the air and they miss their shots (unless its visan or something) and then you can multi them, the multis push you back. The damage is good too.
wind is also one of the easiest magics to land a hit (unless you a freaking skill issue) and even if you are a skill issue you gotta be a massive skill issue like those noobs who cant block, uses weapons without strength and just are bad at the game, then you cant hit a shot. but other than that wind is pretty pog.
I personally find Wind a lot easier to land shots. Maybe you’re just bad.
Opinion.
Multi blasts are pretty cool.
As Meta said earlier, Wind’s stats closely resemble Shadow. Wind is also pretty quick. Faster magics usually perform well. Very good damage as well helps a lot with things too.
It also has synergy with freezing magics, being Snow and Ice. Obviously, it makes them freeze.
Also, funny knockback go brrr.
