Tridents is a newer skill that is still being expanded. Some features and balance may change in future releases. Join the mcMMO Discord for the latest news.
The Tridents skill governs combat with tridents. XP is earned by striking mobs or players with a trident, both melee (close-range) and thrown (ranged) hits grant XP. Levelling Tridents unlocks passive damage bonuses that scale with your skill level.
| Category | Combat (melee + ranged) |
| Primary tool | Trident |
| Super ability | None |
| Parent skill(s) | None |
| Child skill(s) | None |
XP is granted each time a trident strike lands on a mob or player. The amount is determined by the target's entity type, following the same combat XP table used by other weapon skills. Players can only grant XP if PvP XP is enabled in experience.yml (PVP.Enabled: true).

Tridents Limit Break is a passive sub-skill that adds bonus damage against targets wearing high-quality armor. The raw bonus equals the player's current rank. It is then modified by the target's total armor quality score. By default it only applies in PvP; enabling Skills.General.LimitBreak.AllowPVE: true in advanced.yml also activates it against mobs.
Limit Break damage is also multiplied by your attack strength at the moment of the hit.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | 1 |
| 2 | 200 | 2 |
| 3 | 300 | 3 |
