Copper Shortsword

The Copper Shortsword is the weakest shortsword but has a very high attack speed. New characters spawn with a Copper Shortsword in the first slot of their Inventory, and it can also be crafted using an Iron Anvil with 7 Copper Bars.

Like all shortswords, this sword has very limited range, attacking with a forward-stabbing motion instead of an arc, which makes it almost useless against flying or jumping enemies. It is highly recommended that new players replace this with 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.
