Impaling is an enchantment for a trident, causing the trident to deal extra damage on each hit.

Usage

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, but not drowned because drowned are classified as undead mobs rather than underwater mobs.

In Bedrock Edition, the damage applies to all mobs and players when in contact with water: underwater, in flowing water, and in rain, as well as in Java Edition Combat Test 4 and after.
