Animation of the Trident. Note its piercing abilities.

The Trident is a pre-Hardmode spear that has a 9/40 (22.5%) chance of being found in Water Chests, Ocean Crates, and Seaside Crates. When held while submerged in water or lava, the player is granted increased movement speed and jump height. The player can decrease fall speed by holding ▲ Up. These effects do not work in honey or Shimmer.[1]

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.
