# Aether Blade

The Aether Blade is a strong starter weapon, likely one of the first forge weapons you will encounter.[![image-1646965017140.png](https://wiki.dragonstone.pw/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1646965017140.png)](https://wiki.dragonstone.pw/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1646965017140.png)

This weapon is highly recommended for use in dungeons thanks to the cone attack and slight vertical knockback which helps to slow groups of enemies from advancing.
