Description

“

The motif is of the three-pronged spear, Trident. A right-spin Stamina Type God Layer that can change the direction of the impact's rotation by using its three outer blades made of rubber.

— Official Description

„

Takara Tomy's Screw Trident is a Stamina Type Energy Layer with trident motifs meant to represent its namesake; Trishula, a three pronged spear in Hinduism. Like its predecessor Trident, Screw Trident features three large blades to create an overall triangular shape. As part of the God Layer System, Screw Trident features gimmicks; the center and blades of the Layer are connected by rubber to create “Bound Defense”, akin to Jerk.

In theory, the rubber would allow the blades would shift under impact and absorb shock to reduce recoil. In practice however, due to how hard the rubber is, the gimmick fails to function. This issue is exacerbated by the triangular shape of the Layer which creates high recoil and Burst Risk which the four medium teeth are unable to compensate for.

Despite the high Burst risk however, Screw Trident performs well in pure Stamina Combinations as its weight distribution creates spin times near or equal to Deep Chaos, albeit without Destabilization potential.

Overall

Despite the recoil, ineffective gimmick and high Burst risk, Takara Tomy's Screw Trident’s high Stamina makes for an excellent alternative to Deep Chaos if the latter is unavailable.

As such, Takara Tomy's Screw Trident is a must have for bladers if one does not have Deep Chaos and a welcome addition to a blader's collection if one does.
