-It knockbacks enemies, and into the air as well, allowing you to set up for Aerial Advance.
-Knockback puts distance between you and the enemy.
-Due to traveling distance and speed, it can be used defensively as well, to escape from clustered mobs, etc. Again, knockback helps blast a way though.
-It is excellent for zoning in on a chain break, especially for bosses which have weakspots on their back (e.g. caterdan/vol). Due to its speed, distance and horizontal locking, I find it a lot more accurate and effective in connecting with a chain break, in comparison to other GU PAs, such as messiah time.
-Due to it's 25PP cost, as well as it's speed, you can use it 4 times on one chain break, leading to terrible, terrible, damage.
-Dat sound.
-Dat Royal Guard Break from DMC.
Also, unrelated, but a nice PA combo I came up with: Aerial Shooting -> Reverse Tap -> That "spinning while shooting in the air" PA
