Wind Breathing B
Trainer Saneri · 5 forms · Unlocks at level 25 · Slayer path only
Wind is a pressure style built on displacement and repeatable offense. Early lists ranked it down for slow startups, but the V0.2 balance pass reduced windups, removed unwanted knockback on a key move and extended combo potential — Pro Game Guides now ranks it S. The Shinazugawa clan is built around it with Marechi's Blade.
Where this tier comes from: B on the September lists, but the V0.2 pass buffed Wind toward S on Pro Game Guides' October 6 table — the style with the clearest upward trend.

The training tasks
Saneri sets six tasks: the shared five, plus a field task and a final fight with the Wind Trainee. The tasks unlock one at a time and the quest marker leads to each training area.
- Meditation — Butterfly Mansion, second-room mat. Click each time the moving bar crosses the white marker until the meter fills.
- Cup Training — Butterfly Mansion, third-room mat. Pick the cup hiding the coin 10 times — a wrong pick costs one of three lives and the shuffle speeds up each round.
- Push Ups — Butterfly Mansion, push-up mat. Click each white circle as the inner ring touches its edge. Standing up with a red aura means the set failed.
- Aim Training — Butterfly Mansion, shooting range. Click the targets as they pop up on the boards.
- Field task — Varies by style (Boulder Split, parkour dungeon, underwater rocks…). Each style has one field task before the final fight — follow the quest marker.
- Trainee fight — Your trainer's training ground. Beat the style's Trainee NPC to unlock the style, then spend skill points on its forms in the Skill Tree.
Task spots follow the shared Butterfly Mansion mini-games reported across the breathing guides; each style's field task differs. Winning the trainee fight unlocks the style — then open the Skill Tree and spend your points on the forms.

Best clans for Wind Breathing
Shinazugawa
Mythic · Tier AWind Breathing and aggressive Katana bruisers — Marechi's Blade turns every basic attack into a poison applicator, which pairs perfectly with Wind's pressure style.
Kamado
Supreme · Tier SThe safest all-round pick for almost any build. Demons get the most from it: Sun Immunity frees a gear slot and Regen Adrenal only works on the demon path. V0.2 removed Headbutt's guard break, but the stat package still leads.
Aoshima
Uncommon · Tier BA plain early-game damage roll with no build requirement — a placeholder until spins come.

How Wind Breathing compares to the other styles
Within the tier list, Wind Breathing's identity is its fast approach and pressure after v0.2. The honest way to compare styles is by what they demand of you: Thunder demands hit-and-run discipline, Flame punishes whiffed openers, Water rewards patience, Serpent and Insect reward spacing, Stone rewards commitment, Wind rewards aggression, and Sound rewards positioning in group fights. None of that shows up in a tier letter — but all of it decides whether a style works for you. The fee matters too: at 5,000 Wen, Wind Breathing is a mid-range unlock on the fee scale.
Skill tree order for Wind Breathing
The style unlocks as a kit, but skill points decide how fast it becomes dangerous. The community-tested order: Form 1 first — your opener (Dust Whirlwind) is the move you land most often, so its damage scales your whole game. Form 2 next (Claws-Purifying Wind) for combo continuation, then Wall Climb and Double Jump if you have not bought them yet (trainer access and Final Selection both need them). Forms 3-5 (Clear Storm Wind, Rising Dust Storm, Mountain Storm) follow as Wen allows — the last two forms are the biggest single jumps but also the most expensive, so take them when farming pays comfortably rather than at the edge of your balance. Every form sits on its own cooldown, which means each new form adds uptime, not just damage: by form three you should rarely be auto-attacking while waiting.
