==Use==
Garuda-Egi used Wind Blade as an auto-attack; so long as Garuda-Egi had been ordered to attack an enemy with the Guard or Sic commands, it would automatically use Wind Blade whenever its recast allowed. Despite being a spell, Wind Blade was not on the global cooldown (GCD), and thus its use would not conflict with Garuda-Egi's other spells.
Wind Blade dealt very light area of effect damage, and in combination with Garuda-Egi's other actions it made Garuda-Egi the preferred Egi to use against 3 or more targets. Against one or two targets, Summoners should have deferred to Ifrit-Egi's .
