Iron Shortsword

The Iron Shortsword is an early game metal shortsword, being stronger than the Copper Shortsword. It has a slightly stronger alternate version in the Lead Shortsword.

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 weaker fighter type enemies.

Unless the player has a good reason to make the Shortsword (like having not very much Iron) they are advised to make the Iron Broadsword as it does more damage and can swing in an arc.
