Swords

Broadswords
The Broadsword is the most basic type of weapon. On average, broadswords deal more damage to monsters than a Shortsword per strike. It swings in a wide arc over the players head, allowing you to easier fight off flying enemies and jumping zombies/slimes. Its long hit time also makes it particularly effective against worm enemies, as it is liable to hit these many times on each pass.

There are six currently known versions of the broadsword.


 * Wooden Broadsword (7 Damage)
 * Copper Broadsword (8 Damage)
 * Iron Broadsword (10 Damage)
 * Silver Broadsword (11 Damage)
 * Gold Broadsword (13 Damage)
 * Light's Bane (Demonite) (16 Damage)

Shortswords
Faster than their Broadsword bretheren, but not as strong. They attack through rapid stabs at the front of the player, making them extremely efficient at attacking enemies that walk or stand still, but inhibiting their usage against worms and other flying enemies.

The Shortsword, however, also has the added benefit of being able to hit every monster in a "stack" per strike. That is where the Broadsword has a disadvantage, an example would be the Blood Moon event. While a Broadsword isn't enough to push back a stack of monsters by itself, a Shortsword can effectively "juggle" an entire group of monsters.

There are currently three known versions of the Shortsword:
 * Pinny (6 Damage)
 * Chode (8 Damage)
 * Futa Dick (11 Damage)

Unique Swords
Unique swords include those with unique names outside the typical naming system. Light's Bane is the exception in being ordinary in comparison to the other unique swords.

Unique swords, with the exception of the Blade of Grass, emit a small amount of light comparable to a torch ember upon being swung.
