Animation of the Trident. Note its piercing abilities.

The Trident is a type of spear that can be found in Water Chests and Ocean/Seaside Crates. It has slightly more base damage than the Spear.

If the Trident is held while submerged in water or lava, the player moves faster through that liquid and has an increased jump height and also generates light when swung underwater. This does not work in honey or shimmer.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Notes

  • In Celebrationmk10 worlds, the Trident can be found with the normally incompatible Legendary modifier. The size boost will not take effect, though it is still the best modifier possible.
