The Astraea is a LEGENDARY Sword. It is one of four refined Necron's Blade variants, alongside the Valkyrie, Hyperion and Scylla. The Astraea's strength when compared to the other Necron's Blade variants is its additional 250 ❈ Defense and 20 ❂ True Defense.
The Astraea also grants +1 ❁ Damage and +2 ❈ Defense per
Catacombs level of the player. As with any Necron's Blade, it deals +50% damage to ☠ Wither mobs.
It is often regarded as the best weapon in the game for resisting attacks while in melee combat, making it ideal for the Tank class. Although it deals less damage than a Valkyrie or even Scylla, the Astraea's defensive stats make it a compelling choice for anyone involved in melee combat who is struggling with survival.
