Impaling
Impaling is an enchantment for a trident, causing the trident to deal extra damage on each hit against aquatic mobs.
Contents
Usage[edit]
Each level of Impaling adds 2.5 (
× 1 1⁄4) extra damage per hit.
In Java Edition, only aquatic mobs receive the extra damage. Aquatic mobs include dolphins, guardians, elder guardians, squid, turtles and all variants of fish, Axolotls [upcoming: JE 1.17], but not drowned, as drowned are classified as undead mobs rather than underwater mobs.
In Bedrock Edition, as well as in Java Edition Combat Test 4 and after, the damage applies to all mobs and players when in contact with water: underwater, in flowing water, and in rain.
