*AERONDIGHT BWARE*

[Caigoomballou]

As some of you might know the best silver sword in witcher 3 is the Aerondight which is non arguable.

Its obtainable once and unfortunately want some people might not understand yet is that they should wait before obtaining this sword at a higher level since the sword once obtained matches your level and can either lower or raise in stats depending on your level, I recommend holding off by getting this sword till atleast... atleast level 45 for first game level 85 for NG+ or higher.

This is obviously a personal opinion, if you wish to just beat campaign and be done with the game by all means get it sooner. anyway hope this helped !

Currently I have a level 95 new game plus char and im just starting both dlc quests, so this will be fun, might have to raise difficulty to make this even challanging for me.

However i have yet to obtain the Aerondight or the sword of tussiant steel sword so my damages will raise even more

The build i have maxs out my toxicity at 295

it does not matter when you get it .. it has the exact same stats if you always to the permanent dmg increase, if you get it at 30 and keep the dmg up till lvl 60 it will have the exact same stats as if you would have gotten it at 60

Really???? I would of thought that it would be higher well thanks, now i know. It seems a bit weird to me that game logic however but I guess it makes sense since it would be annoying having to wait to get best stats.

Here's how aerondight works:

- You get it at a certain level with a certain base damage.
- For every charge built up by aerondight (1 for fast attack hit, 2 for heavy attack hit), it deals 10% more damage. Note that if you get hit, you lose charges (don't know how many exactly, but quite a lot).
- This means that at 10 charges (it's maximum), it deals double damage. Not only that, at 10 charges, it always critical hits.
- If you kill an enemy while at 10 charges, the base damage value of the sword is increased by 2.
- Intially, the maximum allowed to level up the base damage of the sword is 10.
- Whenever Geralt gains a level, the maximum allowed to level up increases by 10. So if geralt is 10 levels higher than when he got the sword, he'll be able to level the base damage up by up to 110.
- This works infinitely (up to geralt's level cap of 100, of course)

Also, you can increase the amount of rune slots to 3 and add runewords as well.

Slow down, calm your tits bro. Aerondight is strongest ofc, it can even kill non-monster enemies, that show how strong it is despite of the game mechanic.

I could be wrong, but don't most people finish this game before reaching level 40 (for the first run)?

[Caigoomballou]

Yes this is my secount run every summer i play this haha last summer i beat now im beating it again :p

[TheQuestion]

You can get it in ng+ right, then it really doesn't matter when you get it in ng that much and you can wait until you're max level before getting it in ng+ if you want to min max with your endgame eq and don't mind some slightly less optimal eq before that.

Assumingly.

As you level up the Aerondight increases damage steadily.Leveling up is directly proportional to Aerondight damage. To have this effect you must first obtain this sword & even if you get this at level 50 sword it will still come to your current level. That is 95. Just be sure to keep in inventory.

Facts ^ If you check out my photos and read the text you can see my first aerodinght went up by i think 196 base damage through out my playthrough

[Caigoomballou]

So I looked up at some youtube videos people who got the sword at around level 76 had about 150 less base damage than I did when igot it at 95, So i think to conclude there is a slight diffrence but noting to worry about honestly go ahead and get it 150 extra base damage is so slight, since the sword racks up crits and damage as you swing.
