This may not be really that important, but I'm someone who likes playing characters fast-- go to time attack with some way of custom savedata and stuff--, and I found trouble doing that as Tempest. The Airstep, while useful, does kinda slow you down for a bit even while charged, and even with the charge, the amount of distance I can cover feels slightly limiting.
Of course, I know that's what the conduit is for... But at the same time, it almost feels... Useless? For the kind of context I like best, to be fair. Going too fast prevents the conduit to be used ahead of you, regardless if thrown forward or downward, since it ends up behind you by the time it's usable. Another thing I noticed-- which to be honest may be because other mods have been on-- is that sometimes the conduit... Doesn't seem to work as well as it should? Sometimes when using it by pressing spin, I'll barely get height worth a thing, regardless of how I try to circumvent it (such as trying it at a lower or higher height, hold the Spin button for longer or etc.), but sometimes it works well. Once again, it may be because I have other mods on, so take that part with a grain of salt.
In general, when trying to go fast as I would with every other character, I really only rely on his jump height and just taping for a weak airstep. I personally have trouble getting used to the Wallstep, so I don't use that either (this point may be on me because of that I guess). Compared to the other vanilla or mod characters, feels pretty limiting unless I'm taking my time.
