Animation of the Silver Shortsword. Note the limited range.

The Silver Shortsword is an early game metal shortsword. Its alternate ore counterpart is the Tungsten Shortsword.

Like all shortswords, the Silver Shortsword has a very limited range and attacks with a stabbing motion at any direction on  Desktop,  Console, and  Mobile, and horizontally in front of the player on  Old-gen console and 3DS, instead of an arc. This makes it almost useless against flying or jumping enemies, although its high attack rate makes it somewhat effective against weaker fighter type enemies.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The Silver Shortsword and its Tungsten alternative are the only early-game shortswords that use 6 bars to craft, rather than the usual 7.

Tips

• Unless the player has a good reason to make a shortsword (like not having very much Silver, or for completionist purposes), they are advised to make the Silver Broadsword as it does more damage and can swing in an arc.
