Strident Trident

The Strident Trident is a cratftable Weapon exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the Return of Them updates. The Strident Trident Blueprint is dropped by the Crab King upon death. It requires 3 Gnarwail Horns, 4 Kelp Fronds, and 2 Twigs to craft.
The Strident Trident can be used as a weapon to deal 51 damage on land and 76.5 damage at sea with 150 uses. It can also cast spells, consuming 3 weapon uses (for a maximum of 50 casts).
The spell will cause the player to play a short rock chord and summon geysers in the Ocean around the cast location, dealing 85 damage each. It mines for the equivalent of 10 Pickaxe hits. It can create leaks in a Boat, push Items into the ocean, and launch fish into the air to catch them without a Sea Fishing Rod, provided they can fall onto nearby land or a boat. It uproots Bull Kelp.
== Tips ==
* With 50 casts, this weapon has the ability to catch a lot of live fish in a short amount of time. However, using the trident as a weapon may be considered a waste, as it only gets a damage bonus at sea equal to a Dark Sword or Glass Cutter with only 50% more durability.
* The trident's cast can also be used to mine Salt Formations in the ocean and kill nearby Cookie Cutters, if one does not wish to risk damaging their boat.
*After two Gnarwail horns have been collected, the trident can be crafted with a Construction Amulet. Using a Deconstruction Staff on a trident before its durability hits 33% will return two horns, so the same trident can be crafted again without the need to farm more horns.
== Trivia ==
* The Strident Trident was introduced in the She Sells Sea Shells update.
* It shares the same debug spawn name as the Shipwrecked item Trident. However, its appearance and mechanics differ.
**Still, they both share the same mechanic of dealing dramatically more damage while on a boat.
* Despite being a trident, when its spell is cast, a character using it appears to strum it like an electric guitar. It even produces a similar sound.
**This is reiterated in the description, "Rock out in rocky waters."
* Wortox's quote is a reference to demons often being depicted with pitchforks, as he is an imp.
* Before the Staying Afloat update, the Strident Trident dealt 27.2 damage on land and 68 damage at sea.
