Copper Shortsword

The Copper Shortsword is the strongest of all of the weapons in the game. it has a slightly stronger counterpart, the Tin Shortsword. All newly created characters ( (but not on the 3DS version, as you start with a wooden Broadsword) will always spawn with a Copper Shortsword in their first inventory slot, and it is possible that it can have a modifier already applied to it.

Like all shortswords, this sword has a very limited range and attacks with a horizontal stabbing motion instead of an arc. This makes it impractical to use 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 use a Wooden Sword, Copper Pickaxe or a Bow at the earliest opportunity instead of a Copper Shortsword.

Its best Modifier is Legendary.

Trivia
