Weapons & Equip New HM Shortswords - A new take on them!

[Redstonetam15]

So for a while now people have been suggesting HM Shortswords, but ever since the Arkhalis has been added, it got me thinking: What if we got more weapons like this in Hardmode? Lets get this suggestion train on its tracks. (Oh yeah, quick note, when I got the name, I searched up "short slashing sword" when I looked for names. Just so people know that they're all weapons like the Arkhalis.)

Cobalt Dagger
(SPRITE NEEDED)
Stats:
Damage: 33
Knockback: 2
Use Time: 20
Crafting: 10 Cobalt Bars

Palladium Gladius
(SPRITE NEEDED)
Damage: 35
Knockback: 2
Use Time: 24
Crafting: 10 Palladium Bars

Mythril Knife
(SPRITE NEEDED)
Damage: 39
Knockback: 3
Use Time: 20
Crafting: 10 Mythril Bars

Orchialium Rapier
(SPRITE NEEDED)

Knockback: 4
Use Time: 24
Crafting: 10 Orchialium Bars

Adamantite Kopesh

Use Time: 18
Crafting: 10 Adamantite Bars

Titanium Saber
(SPRITE NEEDED)
Damage: 45
Knockback: 4
Use Time: 20

Ok, so the Hallowed Shortsword is going to be special. Its going to have a charge attack.

Calesvol

Damage: 49
Knockback: 6
Use Time: 15

And thats pretty much it! Thanks for reading this thread!

Honestly I don't understand why people want HM Shortswords... we have spears.

Spears are literally shortswords with their two most annoying features removed.

I wouldn't enjoy this. Sorry we have spears and shortswords are very useless especially for flying creatures.

I literally implied they're all Arhkalis-type weapons.

Well... You didn't exactly imply it. Maybe make it more obvious. Anyway, I support.

Arkhalis type? I half support because I think you can get better weapon than this

Since i made a arkhlais upgrade thread 1 day ago, i support.

Another idea i have is a accesory that charges up a longer arcing attack as you dont strike.

Or even just that stat implemented into the hallowed.

I literally implied they're all Arhkalis-type weapons.

Then I'm supporting even less, because I want the Arkhalis to stay unique. (And 'implying' that it's a different class of weapon doesn't give you any real ground to stand on, you should actually outright state that.)

Not to mention that HM ore versions of the Arkhalis would be way overpowered; I made it to the Mechs wielding my original Godly Arkhalis.

And the Arkhalis isn't a shortsword; shortswords are defined by a small range, short use time and the ability to only point in two directions.

1: The Arkhalis is sorta a loner in it's class.
2: What about getting past the mechs.
3: Title.

Not bad, still support.
