Yngwie is an incredibly potent defensive character. That defensive prowess isn't always necessary because Magna wind is already a very durable element thanks to the grid using Coruscant Crozier as well as the prevalence of other characters with great defensive utility such as Andira, Tiamat, Korwa (Summer) and many more.
Yngwie excels in the former especially due to his ability to protect the team while "following the rules". Firstly, this is because he will usually not charge attack at the same time as the rest of the party which prevents you from violating the first rule. Secondly, his skills do not often line up in the same turn due to their staggered cooldowns which helps obey the third rule.
