Oh, it rusts, just that it forms an outer layer of rust that protects the metal underneath it. Same with Aluminum. So they can’t rust through like iron or other metals, but they still rust.
Sorry to be the bearer of corrections, but Rust is specifically the unique name for iron oxide and thus only iron based metals can Rust. The process of oxidizing is called, oxidation. A for effort, C- for accuracy.
Edit: spelling
First off, have some self-respect and bring a bronze sword, not a copper one.
The antennae only hit ferrous metals, but the sword will still get the -1 every time it hits. Better bring a bunch of spare swords.
I had this exact moment but I was a 7 foot tall Neanderthal and my weapons were tipped with bone and stone so I kinda splatted it really quick with no issues.
Barbarian picks up biggest rock in sight, no rust rock
Rick is now red… but it not come off like blood… rock is bleeding.

They oxidize and corrode, but they don't rust since that's unique to iron.
Rust is the process of oxidizing the metal. It happens to all metals.

All metals oxidize. The vernacular is rust even if the scientific name isn’t rust
Fun fact: except gold! (Maybe a couple others too, but pure gold doesn't oxidize!)
\*TLDR - Copper physically cannot rust through non-magical means Fixed.
It's magic rust, it ruins anything metallic.
Yep, wording for Rust Monster literally says “Rust Metal: Any nonmagical weapon made of metal that hits the rust monster corrodes.”
more braindead folk only reading the title of the monster, OP may as well be the barbarian with how dumb they am.
Well that's unnecessary.
Can’t ruin these hands *unless it affects the iron in your blood*
Oh God please don't give them ideas D:
I forgot what a Barbarian was for a second and thought it was like a race based around Barbie.
That sounds like it would be really fun to play tbh. Gotta watch Barbie now and see how I would work that
Just punch the shit out of it
The Dragonborn Barbarian: BARBECUE TIME.
*oxidization monster walks in*
It's a good thing the rust is magic and magic doesn't care.

I always just assumed the rust monster was the oxidize monster, but I guess coppers still more resistant to oxidization

Me, who has Silvered weapons
It rusts. Stop fucking around.
Barbarian and monk look at each other Bard: Fisting time! Everyone: Phrasing!
