Short Spear

The Short Spear is a standard melee weapon sitting at S tier on the tier list — proof that with the right wielder, even a short spear can reach across dimensions. Each hit deals 20 damage across a 3-swing, 5-hit combo, totaling 58 with 40 stagger.

The star of the show is attack rate: community testing clocked roughly 4.5 hits a second, driving about 414 DPS with basic attacks and Lightning Surge — fifth on the overall chart. The only flagged downside is an odd combo rhythm that takes practice to keep clean.

Reach is 4.5 blocks, weight is medium, knockback is 800, and the combo resets after 1.15s. The Ranger + Summoner archetype makes it a natural choice for hybrid builds that weave melee pokes between ranged shots or minion commands.

It drops in Frozen Highlands, Howling Woods and Lullaby Hills, making it farmable without much trouble. That DPS number comes from single-target dummy testing and does not capture crowd handling, but the hit rate alone makes it one of the strongest standard weapons you can pick up early.

If you want top-tier damage output without chasing uniques, the Short Spear is the one to farm.
