Tridents grow in projectile radius and damage at a steady rate of 50% per unit time, and create two wavelets at 180° spread that deal non-scaling damage and lose projectile size as they travel. Tridents have 25 pierce, 4 damage, +2 damage to frozen Bloons, and 2 seconds projectile lifespan. It has a projectile speed of 100.

Tridents have 25 pierce, 4 damage, +2 damage to frozen Bloons, and 1.8181 seconds projectile lifespan. It has a projectile speed of 100.

With [[Trident Swiftness]] (2-3-0), projectile speed increases to 150 but lasts 1.~~3333~~ seconds, resulting in about the same projectile distance, and scales damage at 75% per unit time, resulting in the same damage when expired by time.

With [[Trident Swiftness]] (2-3-0), projectile speed increases to 150 but lasts 1.2121 seconds, resulting in about the same projectile distance, and scales damage at 75% per unit time, resulting in the same damage when expired by time.
