Animation of the Lead Shortsword. Note the limited range.

The Lead Shortsword is the lead variant of the Iron Shortsword, and is a slightly more effective weapon. It can be crafted at a Anvil with 7 Lead Bars.

Like all shortswords, the Lead Shortsword has a very limited range and attacks with a stabbing motion at any direction on  Desktop, and horizontally in front of the player on  Console,  Old-gen console,  Mobile, 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.
