in terraria should i get a short sword or broadsword

Answer 1

You need copper/silver/gold bars and wood to make a broad/shortsword.

You're retarded. His question was which one he should get, not how to make them. And I think you should go with a broadsword seeing as how the speed difference isn't too great.

Okay, sorry that I answered his question wrong, but gee, thanks for insulting me. That just shows how immature people like you can be.

Answer 2

Basically, a short sword is much faster, but does less damage and has a lower attack range. if you're fight things that are mobile like slimes use a broadsword, but more stable enemies like zombies use a short sword.
