# Shortsword

<div id="bkmrk-in-game-description-"><table><tr><td>![]()</td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></table>

### In-Game Description

---

*A small straight sword.  
Longer than a dagger, but still lightweight.  
Widely used, as it requires no particular strength.*

*A reasonable choice that will suffice in many  
situations, but not the thing to take along if you  
expect to face any serious challenge.*

### Availability

---

- Starting weapon of the Swordsman class (upgraded to +1).

- Forest of Fallen Giants treasure. On a corpse located on the ledge above the Heide Knight, past the gap behind the archer.

### Key

---

<table><tr><td>**Damage:**</td><td>The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D / E:

- A is Physical Damage
- B is Magical Damage
- C is Fire Damage
- D is Lightning Damage
- E is Dark Damage

Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:

- Striking
- Slashing
- Thrusting

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.  
See Weakness for physical reduction, Resistance for elemental reduction.

</td></tr><tr><td>**Aux Effect:**</td><td>The Aux Effect stat dictates how effective the weapon will be at causing the effect. The Aux Effect stats for a weapon are A / B:

- A is Poison Effect
- B is Bleed Effect

</td></tr><tr><td>**Counter Strength:**</td><td>Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage.</td></tr><tr><td>**Poise Damage:**</td><td>The ability of the weapon to break the poise of an enemy.</td></tr><tr><td>**Stats Needed:**</td><td>The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively.  
The stats required for a weapon are A / B / C / D:

- A is the Strength required
- B is the Dexterity required
- C is the Intelligence required
- D is the Faith required

Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon,  
while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.

Also keep in mind that your character gains a 100% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing  
the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 14 Strength can wield a Great Club (Requires 28 Strength)  
properly if the weapon is held with both hands. (14 x 2 = 28)

</td></tr><tr><td>**Stat Bonuses:**</td><td>The Stat Bonuses rating indicates the level of bonus damage you do with the weapon, based on the associated Stat.  
This rating can be S, A, B, C, D, or E (in order from most to least bonus for the associated skill).  
See Scaling for more information.  
The Bonus Stats for a weapon are A/B/C/D/E/F:

- A is the Strength stat bonus that influences the physical attack of the weapon.
- B is the Dexterity stat bonus that influences the physical attack of the weapon.
- C is the Intelligence stat bonus that influences the Magical attack of the weapon.
- D is the Intelligence and Faith stat bonus that influences the Fire attack of the weapon.
- E is the Faith stat bonus that influences the Lightning attack of the weapon.
- F is the Intelligence or Faith stat bonus that influence the Dark attack of the weapon(The lower of the two stats is chosen as the bonus stat).

</td></tr><tr><td>**Damage Reduction:**</td><td>The Damage Reduction % of the weapon. It dictates how much damage the weapon mitigates while blocking.  
The Damage Reduction % stats for weapons are A / B / C / D / E :

- A is Physical Damage
- B is Magical Damage
- C is Fire Damage
- D is Lightning Damage
- E is Dark Damage

</td></tr><tr><td>**Aux Effect Reduction:**</td><td>The Aux Effect Reduction % of the weapon. It dictates how much of the effect the weapon mitigates while blocking.  
The Aux Effect Reduction % stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D:

- A is Poison Effect
- B is Bleed Effect
- C is Petrification Effect
- D is Curse Effect

</td></tr><tr><td>**Stability:**</td><td>Determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher stability also allows you to block stronger  
attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks.</td></tr><tr><td>**Durability:**</td><td>The durability of the weapon.</td></tr><tr><td>**Weight:**</td><td>The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going  
over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.</td></tr><tr><td>**Enchantable? Items/Spells:**</td><td>Determines whether or not the weapon can receive a temporary damage buff by items and/or spells. Note that if you decided  
to infuse the weapon it cannot be enchanted by items.</td></tr></table>
