Wing of Astel

The Wing of Astel is a curved sword that deals both physical and magic damage. It scales with Strength (E), Dexterity (D) and Intelligence (D) and needs 7 Strength, 17 Dexterity and 20 Intelligence, which makes it a natural fit for a Dexterity/Intelligence spellblade. Its unique skill, Nebula, unleashes a burst of cosmic magic.

What really sets it apart is its heavy attacks, which also fire magic beams at no FP cost.

Where to find it

It sits in a chest in the Uhl Palace Ruins, part of the Ainsel River region, above a Withered Astel. You can only reach it from the Ainsel River Main Site of Grace: head down the tunnel, take the left fork guarded by a large ant, and follow the cliffside path until you reach a stone structure with the chest.

Item description & lore

This blade was shaped from a fragile wing that still carries the magic of the stars. It was made from the remains of a being born of the Void, one of the Naturalborn, which by legend once attacked the Eternal City.

Notes & tips

  • Cannot be buffed and cannot take Ashes of War.
  • Standing heavy attacks, charged heavy attacks and dodging out of a charge also throw out magic beams. Both the swing and the beams can hit the same target, adding a lot of damage and stance damage at no FP cost.
  • Deals 20% bonus damage to Gravity-type enemies.
  • Its version of Nebula differs from the one on Bastard’s Stars.
  • The skill’s damage benefits from the Spellblade’s set, though the heavy attack beams do not.
