Shortswords in Oblivion Remastered offer fast strikes and solid damage, ideal for agile fighters and stealth-focused character builds.
Shortswords in Oblivion Remastered are one-handed bladed weapons that swing faster than a longsword and do more damage than a dagger. These weapons make a reliable choice for players who favor agility without sacrificing too much damage. They’re also a solid option for archers and stealth builds, dealing x3 sneak damage.
Here are five of the best shortswords to keep an eye out for while adventuring through Cyrodiil.
Top 5 Shortswords in Oblivion Remastered
5) Glass Shortsword
- Damage: 17
- Enchantment: None
- Health: 408
- Base Value: 670
- Weight: 18
This elegant green blade balances speed and solid base damage, making it ideal for mid- to late-game builds. It can be easily enchanted using a Sigil Stone, and its high durability and light weight make it a suitable sidearm for archers and melee casters.
4) Ebony Shortsword
- Damage: 19
- Enchantment: None
- Health: 414
- Base Value: 1400
- Weight: 20
The Ebony Shortsword has a regal appearance with intricate engravings and designs ornamenting the best unenchanted shortsword produced in the mortal realm. You can find Ebony Shortswords in loot past level 16. Try targeting vampires since they often carry shortswords.
3) Daedric Shortsword
- Damage: 21
- Enchantment: None
- Health: 588
- Base Value: 2900
- Weight: 22
The Daedric Shortsword has the highest damage of all the non-unique shortswords in the game. Enhance the weapon with enchantments to suit your build and scale its DPS further with the Blade skill. Daedric Shortswords can be found in loot at level 20 and are carried by Zealots in the Shivering Isles. Clearing Oblivion Gates past level 20 is a reliable way to find a Daedric Shortsword.
2) Debaser
- Damage: 24
- Enchantment:
- Drain Attribute: Willpower 30 pts for 20 secs
- Drain Attribute: Endurance 30 pts for 20 secs
- 7200 Charge, 60 Uses
- Health: 705
- Base Value: 6028
- Weight: 48
Note: All values except the types of enchantment vary based on player level.
The Debaser is a unique weapon that has the range and reach of a longsword despite swinging as fast as a shortsword. With its Willpower and Endurance drain, the sword is effective against magic users and melee fighters alike. You can find the weapon in the Imperial City during the Unfriendly Competition quest in the Trentius Family Mausoleum. It can also be stolen or looted from Agarmir before the quest.
1) Chillrend
- Damage: 21
- Enchantment:
- Frost Damage 20 pts
- Weakness to Frost 35% for 20 secs
- 4160 Charge, 80 Uses
- Health: 615
- Base Value: 4584
- Weight: 22
Note: All values except the types of enchantment vary based on player level.
Created in the image of a Glass Shortsword but with an enchanting blue hue, the Chillrend lives up to its name by dealing frost damage enhanced by the Weakness to Frost enchantment imbued in the blade. To find the sword, talk to Valus Odiil in southwestern Chorrol and complete ‘The Killing Field’ quest without letting either of his children die. Alternatively, you can kill Odiil and loot the sword from him.
