- Not to be confused with Daggers, a type of rogue weapon.
"Don't underestimate the power of stabby knives"
Shortswords are a variety of swords which are stabbed in front of the player. Some shortswords also release a projectile when used, increasing their normally limited range, and many have on-hit effects.
All shortswords, both in Calamity and Vanilla now build up a mechanic called Shortstrike, which allows for shortswords to unleash special attacks when right click is used at full Shortstrike power. More details can be found on its dedicated page.
