The speed for max angle of climb reduces with headwind and increases with tailwind. By how much depends on how thrust and drag change with airspeed.
Sorry, it does not, with regard to airspeed.
Groundspeed, on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish.
Don't make the mistake of confusing the two.
