Like previous upgrades, tridents grow in projectile radius and damage at a steady rate, and create two wavelets at 180° apart that deal non-scaling damage and lose projectile size as they travel. Tridents have 18 pierce.

By default, this ability targets Bloons anywhere on-screen (even behind line of sight blockers) and prioritizes First, Last, Close, or Strong according to the tower's current targeting mode. The player can use the tower's Monkey Special to set a target position anywhere on-screen, which causes Ice Jet to aim at that marker instead. Using the Monkey Special again removes the marker and prevents it from being set again for 5 seconds afterwards. If the tower has a marker, then the ability is usable without requiring a Bloon to be on-screen, but if it does not have a marker, then the ability cannot be used if there are no Bloons on-screen, and if the tower does not have [[Camo detection]], then Camo Bloons do not allow the ability to be used.

Crosspathing with [[Trident Swiftness]] increases the projectile speed of the ice balls.  
Crosspathing with [[Trident Swiftness]] increases the projectile speed of the ice balls by +50% while retaining their lifespan, thus increasing their total distance by the same amount.


Crosspathing with [[Echosense Precision]] reduces the random spread of the ice balls from 30° to 10° and allows the ice balls to hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s.

Arctic Knight excels on maps with obstacles, especially standing out on [[Dark Dungeons]], because the Ice Jet ability can maximize its pierce and hit many more times on bloons. Its main attack does decent damage and freezing, though most of its power still comes from its ability. However, both its tridents and Ice Jet have the tendancy to leave out a lot of White and Zebra Bloons, so combine it with quick-attacking frozen-popping towers, such as [[Juggernaut (BTD6)|Juggernaut]].<!--yes, chomchom used jugg and it worked well to clear zebra excesses-->
