Galebreathe is an Attunement that grants the user the ability to manipulate, conjure and control winds, giving them access to abilities that focus on movement, projectiles, and large AoE. As well as possessing the ability to lower attack speed when hitting an opponent with a gale mantra.
Galebreathe also has Talents attributed to it as well, allowing the user to fully expand their connection with the atmosphere.
Training[]
Galebreathe can be trained by using a combination of Gale Kata and Galebreathe Mantras.
Like all other elements, users can see their Mantras become stronger with training:
At Galebreathe level 1, Galebreathers receive the Galebreather Talent. This allows players to use 0-star Galebreathe mantras.
At Galebreathe level 20, players receive the Adept Galebreather Talent. This allows players to use 1-star Galebreathe mantras.
At Galebreathe level 30, players receive the Expert Galebreather Talent. This allows players to use 2-star Galebreathe mantras.
Finally, at Galebreathe 50, players receive the Master Galebreather Talent. This finally allows Galebreathe users to unlock the last category, 3-star Mantras. This Talent also grants +5 HP.
The Attunement can be unlocked by using a Skyblood potion obtained at the Isle of Vigils, just outside the Temple of the Blade, using two Gale Stones (assuming you have Galebreathe unlocked), and can upgrade spells for 100 Notes each. Each upgrade purchased will make the next upgrade for the same mantra 100 notes more expensive.
To upgrade a Galebreathe Mantra from level 1 to level 2 costs 100 .
To upgrade a Galebreathe Mantra from level 2 to level 3 costs 200 .
To upgrade a Galebreathe Mantra from level 3 to level 4 costs 300 .
To upgrade a Galebreathe Mantra from level 4 to level 5 costs 400 .

Trivia[]
The Rising Wind mantra probably is referenced from Shoryuken move in Street Fighter.
The Windwaker Talent is a direct reference to the Legend of Zelda main series game "The Wind Waker," both in name and function, as there is a special song you can play to cause the winds to propel your boat.
After expressing a desire to make a new 0 Star Mantra for Galebreathe, developer ragoozer was presented with an image created by discord user Necros75, which he promptly added to the game as Gale Kick.[1]
Light Green Mudskippers are able to use a buffed version of the Air Force mantra, with greater knockback.
Arch_mage stated that Galebreathe is "least me" out of all the elements.To cast the "Gale Wisp" mantra, the user must press the key corresponding to what letter appears on the GUI. Like any other wisp in the game.
The "Wind Step" Talent can be used by other players for a short period after being placed.
The "Gale Leap" Talent requires cliffs of certain height. Strangely, the Talent will not proc if used too close to the edge, requiring the user to jump earlier than expected.
The [Q] key activates Gale Dash.
For some bizarre reason, Heavenly Wind has been referred to as Heavenly Strike multiple times in the update logs.
Similarly to every other Wisp mantra, Gale Wisp gives the player a finger on the hand that casts the mantra
Jumping before activating the "Tempest Wind" Talent will propel the user forward by a few studs while releasing a sound cue.
A few Talents require to Inhale mantras, which acts like a cancel but are performed differently:
Cast the mantra then press M1 and M2 together to Inhale, you know you're doing it right when you hear an inhale sound.
Galebreathe can apply 2 status effects: "Winded" & "Suffocate".
"Winded" reduces your opponent's attack speed.
"Suffocate" prevents the opponent from using mantras; the opponent will also have a resonance-like effect circling their neck when applied.
The duration can be extended with the "Gale Coil" Talent.
It is the only Attunement to be able to do this without any evolution paths.
Allows for the most agile and swift mobility in Deepwoken.
Heavenly Wind may also double as a mobility mantra as you can take advantage of its upward boost by cancelling the mantra.
Wind Blade with its Talent can double as a very decent ranged/melee attack and an upgraded version of uppercut.
The "Gale Leap" Talent can prove volatile unless managed with care. You may potentially rocket off a slope or cliff unfavorably which makes your practice with quick reactions and mobility very important.
The majority of Galebreathe mantras have potentially high range, allowing you to pose an imminent threat to players without often being within their effective range.
The wind phantom visual from the "Haunted Gale" Talent appears to wield a Whaling Knife with a thick green outline around it.[2]
"Tempest Wind" can be deceptively useful by slide jumping and immediately M1 which will keep it active long enough for you to cast it after the M1.
Alternatively, you could cast it early to feint the M1 but due to its low windup, it's very difficult to parry or punish unless it's used by itself. However, letting the aerial M1 hit before casting it is very powerful because it leaves no room for a counterattack after blocking or rolling the M1, but this is negated by parries.
Pairing this attunement along the Jetstriker Oath can ultimately make it one of the best mobility builds, given Galebreathe's wide variety of mobility moves and Jetstriker's mobility-based kit. The Gale Step and Aerogliding Talents, along with all of the Jetstriker Talents makes it nearly impossible to catch if you plan on running from an unwinnable fight. Can sometimes even be used to escape Monsters such as the Megalodaunt. One great weapon paring with this attunement is the Curved Blade of Winds, this legendary weapon has 2 forms that compliment both styles of Galebreathe.
Galebreathe is good for pressuring an opponent thanks to its high mobility.
