Copper Shortsword

The Copper Shortsword is the weakest of the shortswords. It has a slightly stronger alternate version in the Tin Shortsword. All newly created characters will spawn with a Copper Shortsword in their first inventory slot.

Like all shortswords, this sword has very limited range, attacking with a horizontal stabbing motion instead of an arc, which makes it almost useless against flying or jumping enemies, although its high attack rate makes it somewhat effective against weak fighter type enemies. It is, however, highly recommended that new players create a Wooden Sword at the earliest opportunity.

Trivia

 * The Copper Shortsword's low damage and usability earned it a famous spot in the joke "now do it with a copper shortsword." Said joke is used when a player defeats a boss or otherwise conquers an intimidating task involving weaponry with little-to-no difficulty at all.
